First off, this is listed for restricted batches sold in the in North America at this time. As so, it would appear that, at least for the time being, the rest of the world is immune to the problem. 

Still, this is a startling announcement no matter where you reside, and since it may not be limited to North America (further recalls are, of course, conceivable), you may want to keep reading so that you can at least be informed. It should be noted, however, that the following recall notice has been included as part of this particular official notice for the ASUS ROG Maximus Z690:

“This recall involves ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Hero computer motherboards sold separately for computers. The recalled motherboards have part number 90MB18E0-MVAAY0. Affected units have a serial number that starts with MA, MB, and MC, which indicates the manufacture year in 2021. The part number is located next to the 24-pin power connector on a white label on the bottom side of the motherboard and on the packaging.”

Reading up on it this is the issue at US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC),  capacitor on the motherboard was installed in a reverse position which can lead to a short circuit, overheating or melting, posing fire and burn hazards."

The weird thing is that ASUS only made a post on their twitter account regarding the recall:
