What phones have been recalled?
The following models have known issues that Sprint has acknowledged at least internally. If a phone is in good condition (no physical damage), and is suffering from the issue described, Sprint will replace the phone with another unit, regardless of if the phone is still under the original one year warranty. Sprint does this so that they do not have to launch a public recall of all potentially affected units, which would cause negative publicity and increase Sprint’s liability. Note: Sprint and the typical consumer have different definitions of what is a “recall”. We define a recall as any problem that Sprint is internally aware and willing to warranty the unit based on that awareness. Sprint only considers an item to be recalled if a “lifetime warranty” is given on the issue. Only the LG 1010 and Samsung A460 have a lifetime warranty, where if there is the problem present, and the device is in otherwise good condition, Sprint will replace the device at any time, in or out of warranty.
