To quickly check if you are subject to the battery recall:

$ grep model /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info

Then compare the output to this list:

ASM P/N       FRU P/N
92P1072        92P1073
92P1088        92P1089
92P1142        92P1141
92P1170        92P1169 or 93P5028
92P1174        92P1173 or 93P5030

In my case:

model number:            92P1172 (first battery)
model number:            92P1173 (spare battery)

The value returned is the ASM P/N (*not* the FRU!)

Neither of them is subject to the recall.
