~ All MINI Owners with Garmin Nuvi GPS !


AFFECTED PRODUCTS
The recalled devices include a small subset of the following nüvi model numbers:
• nüvi 200W, 250W, and 260W
• nüvi 7xx and 7xxT (where xx is a two-digit number)

DESCRIPTION
Garmin has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain models of Garmin's nüvi® brand of portable automotive GPS products due to a potential risk of battery overheating. 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 nüvi 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.


IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED
Determine your nüvi model and serial number by looking at the label on the back or bottom of your nüvi. You must provide this and other information to determine whether your nüvi is affected by this recall.

To easily and quickly determine whether your nüvi is affected, go to

Thanks for posting this. Mine is affected!

 

Our 750 also

 

Thanks for posting. My 765T is OK.

 

Darn! Mine is not on the recall list, that would have been a good excuse to get one of the models compatible with the OBC plug-in module so I could see all of the gauges that MC forgot to put on these cars!

 

My 755 was not affected.
