drives that were used in the previous generations of the MacBook Air
<http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/apple-macbook-air-13/4505-3121_7-35330106.h

The blog post, first spotted by Cult of Mac
<http://www.cultofmac.com/250176/apple-recalls-macbook-air-flash-storage-dri
ves-sold-between-june-2012-june-2013/> , says users with affected drives can
either make an appointment with an Apple Genius at an Apple retail store to
get the drive replaced, or go to any one of the company's authorized service
providers. 

Apple also warns these users not to download any new operating systems, and
urges people to back up their data before having the drive replaced.
Customers who have paid for repairs or replacements on their own may also be
entitled to a refund.
