MisterEFQ Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I just found this out and was about to post it. Luckly my Nuvi is one of the models, but isnt in the small subset that is effected. Quote Link to comment
+fegan Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Thanks for the heads up. I've got a Nuvi 200W...although that model was affected, my serial number is NOT on the recall. Not sure if that's Good or Bad. Good because hopefully it won't overheat...Bad because I was hoping I could score a fresh battery. Quote Link to comment
+t4e Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 thanks, just found out mine is on the recall list Leave it in a cache, and save the bomb squad the work of blowing it up where's your nearest regular cache? they want it back and will replace the battery, i've had the unit for 3 years now and worked fine, but hey can't complain about a new battery Quote Link to comment
+hondaatvrider Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 My 200W is part of the recall. Garmin sent me pre paid shipping label. I guess a new battery is a good thing! Quote Link to comment
+jotne Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) I wonder how long this will take from Norway... Mine is on recall list. Edit I do see that I am routed to local dealer in Norway, so then it should not take to long Edited August 27, 2010 by jotne Quote Link to comment

+t4e Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) Apparently, you can complain about a new battery. based on the information available at the time of that post i didn't think would be possible after all this wait, only to be told they have no idea when i'll get my unit back, i wish i didn't send it in lol just got an email from a Garmin rep, telling me the unit was held in customs for a long time i don't know what customs he/she is talking about, UPS shows it was delivered and signed for on august 31st, in addition i was told they are being fixed here in Canada, unless there's customs between Provinces i say he/she is BS-ing me Edited September 24, 2010 by t4e Quote Link to comment
+Tequila Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Did you ship it to a Canadian or U.S. address?? If you sent it to Raytech in Montreal, good luck!!! They are notoriously slow. Quote Link to comment
+kdiers Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I shipped mine 8/30 and received it 9/20. I booted it up and before it could get a lock, it showed its current position NW of Chihuahua Mexico. Guess they are shipping some accross the border for cheap repair. Quote Link to comment

TillaMurphs Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Just a bump in case anyone still hasn’t sent in their nuvi. This recall is still active. I kept waiting for a time period when I could do without my nuvi for a while. I eventually realized that was never going to happen and I was just going to have to bite the bullet and send it in. I sent it in just under 3 weeks ago and got it back yesterday. Quote Link to comment
