Horrible stories about laptops with problematic batteries, which, if overheated, can cause a fire, have been heard by everyone and more than once. But this time, the manufacturer is no longer recalling laptops, but navigators, which from now on are also subject to this problem.
The company announced the recall of 1.3 million pieces of its navigators Garmin. The reason is the possibility of overheating of the battery with its subsequent ignition. Batteries from a third-party manufacturer, which one has not yet been found out.

In total, about ten cases of critical overheating of devices were noted. Fortunately, the fire did not end and no one was hurt. However, the company decided not to experiment and replace the batteries.
Отозваны были модели Nüvi 200W, 250W, 260W и 7xx («хх» — любые две цифры). Большинство из этих моделей были реализованы в США. Остальные разошлись по другим странам. На официальном сайте производителя у потребителей есть возможность проверить, подлежит ли приобретенное ими устройство замене или нет.
It is reported that part of the costs that will incur Garmin will be covered by the "delinquent" battery manufacturer.
