"The issue arose in one of the two batteries housed on early versions of the scooter; in several isolated instances, a manufacturing defect could result in the battery smoldering or, in some cases, catching fire," the company said.
The statement was issued after the Washington Post contacted the company about reports of Lime's scooters catching fire. Lime declined a request for further information, but the San Francisco-based company told the Post about 2,000 scooters were recalled.
