Garmin Recalls 1.25 Mil GPS Units For Fire Hazard

Garmin is recalling 1.25 million GPS devices because their batteries could overheat and cause fires. The affected units contain batteries made by a third-party supplier, and almost 800,000 were sold in America. Only GPS units with model numbers 200W, 250W, 260W, 7xx and 7xxT, where xx is a two-digit number, may be affected. If you own one of these models, you can go on their website and they will replace the batter and insert a safety spacer on top for free. Owners are warned not to try to remove the batteries on their own.
