Re: What happens if the Note 7 is recalled?
Don't know yet.Does the issue manifest when using a subpar charger?

I got mine thru Verizon so do you think they would let me rent a phone till I get my note 7 back?
Yeah, Samsung is officially recalling the Galaxy Note7Just got a notification from CNN that Samsung is now recalling the Note 7 worldwide. Guess it's official.
I'm still waiting for the translation. I watched the presser and while it was clear he talked about the battery cells, it wasn't clear if it was worldwide. It probably is, but I'm waiting on a translated statement.It appears to be global: Samsung is recalling the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone worldwide - Sep. 2, 2016
Looks like you will be getting a new phone.This isn't a case of the phone getting warm... Seems to me that there was an issue with a pack's construction (perhaps by a single subcontractor) that is making it more prone to failure under charging.
Sounds like a small percentage of phones made are susceptible, and even those, we're hearing of only a few actual incidents (not 'a buddy's boss says he knows someone').
I just got my wife's new Note 7... I was going to put it through its paces before giving it to her anyhow... And I'll just keep it on good charging gear, which i was going to do even before this. If it gets recalled, so be it. The replacement will be fine and she'll still enjoy her new Note.
And I'll most likely get some more free stuff from Samsung out of the deal. Works for me.
No one has posted a translated statement yet, but likely. South Korean news has only posted this.Just got a notification from CNN that Samsung is now recalling the Note 7 worldwide. Guess it's official.
I'm 100% convinced this is not a fault with the phones, but with people that are using cheap third party USB Type A to Type C cable setups that don't have resistors on them or the incorrect resistors, which causes the phone to draw in too much power. A Google engineer discovered this issue with laptops.
