GPS manufacturer Garmin is recalling some 1.25 million Nuvi personal navigation devices after detecting potential overheating problems in some of the units, the company announced Wednesday.

The faulty devices have batteries from an unnamed third-party supplier. Used in conjunction with a specific Nuvi printed circuit board (PCB) design, these batteries can "in rare circumstances, increase the possibility of overheating, which may lead to a fire hazard," the company said in a statement. Only batteries from an unspecified date range are impacted.

n?vi Battery PCB Recall

Garmin is voluntarily recalling certain n?vi devices that contain a specific battery that was manufactured by the battery supplier within a limited date code range. Garmin has identified potential overheating issues when certain batteries manufactured by the third-party battery supplier within a limited date code range are used in certain Garmin n?vi models with a specific printed circuit board (PCB) design. It appears that the interaction of these factors can, in rare circumstances, increase the possibility of overheating, which may lead to a fire hazard. Although there have been no injuries or significant property damage caused by this issue, Garmin is taking this action out of an abundance of caution.

The recalled devices include a small subset of the following n?vi model numbers:

    * n?vi 200W, 250W, & 260W
    * n?vi 7xx (where xx is a two-digit number)

Thanks for the update. I'm still considering getting one just for the car.
