Nothing to fix.  You got a brand new alert that your version of
thinkpad-acpi doesn't know so it is telling you it got an event that is in
the same class as the other termal alerts.  Since it is unknown, might be
something else as well.

Send me the full kernel output of thinkpad-acpi, please.

If you never use bluetooth, disable it in the BIOS.  The thinkpad is
supposed to remember the bluetooth rfkill state, but there are three reasons
it might not work:

1. the bluetooth stack is loading before thinkpad-acpi and destroying any
chance you might have of that feature working (thinkpad-acpi must load
first for it to work);

2. userspace is enabling the radios for whatever stupid reason;

3. a bug I can't seem to find (might be somewhere other than thinkpad-acpi),
see here:
