Garmin Recall
 Garmin Recall -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 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) Check your model number here~ https://my.garmin.com/rma/recallLanding.faces

I can't help but think the number of recalls for "faulty rechargeable batteries" in devices serves as a cautionary tale for the future of the electric car. (And yes, I know there's been no recalls for electric vehicle batteries - yet.)
Somehow, I don't really think the technology is quite there. But, I honestly wish it was. - Jack
