Reports of a South Korean iPod nano recall are untrue according to The Loop, in a statement provided to the blog fully clarifies the situation.

“Since last August, Apple has offered to repair or replace any customer’s first generation iPod nano if its battery overheats,” Apple’s statement reads. “We have received very few reports of such incidents (about .001 percent of first generation iPod nano units worldwide), which have been traced back to a single battery supplier.”

Apple has previously published a support document on its website dated August 25, 2008 stating that “in very rare cases, batteries in the iPod nano (1st generation) sold between September 2005 and December 2006, may overheat and prevent the iPod nano from working and deform it.”

Anybody concerned with their iPod nano should contact AppleCare says Apple.
