+Gr8Scot Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I saw this on another forum. May be of interest to someone here. Garmin has just issued a product recall on some of the nüvi 200W, 250W, 260W & nüvi 7xx series models. Quote to context: "...potential risk of battery overheating ... may lead to a fire hazard." Details here + model serial number check: www.garmin.com/nuvibatterypcbrecall I'm unsure if the local agents are complying with the recall. Quote Link to comment

Check the garmap forums - they will - they donlt really have a choice - a recall is a recall. But get this - GDA does not do battery changing! A procedure that takes 5 minutes! So they will be replacing complete units. Anyway I think this problem involved some circuitry as well so a repiar is definitely out the question locally! Trev Quote Link to comment
