Text SizeAAATOKYO (Sep. 4) - Sony announced Thursday it is recalling 440,000 Vaio laptop computers worldwide due to a wiring flaw that could cause overheating.

Sony Electronics / APSony Corp. said the recall involves 19 models in the Vaio TZ series manufactured between May 2007 and July 2008.
The Tokyo-based consumer electronics company said improperly placed wires near the hinge connecting the body of the laptop and its display could wear quickly, causing a short circuit and overheating. A flaw in a circuit board inside the display could also cause the rim to overheat, it said.
