Nikon Issues COOLPIX L25 Service Advisory

From Nikon Europe:

It has recently become clear that in some very rare cases, if the camera is subjected to a strong shock such as being dropped or struck, heat may be generated from inside the camera and the top cover of the Nikon COOLPIX L25 may become deformed and a small gap may be visible near the shutter-release button. This may occur regardless of whether the camera is turned on or off. There is no danger of fire.

Area where the camera may be deformed and/or a small gap may appear after a strong shock is shown below.
