Concern

Battery may overheat

Defect, as DVSA words it

Garmin have identified that certain model Nuvi portable navigation products fitted with a specific battery and printed circuit board design can under rare circumstances overheat. This could result in a unit fire.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Volvo are assisting Garmin by writing to all owners who may have these units and requesting then to check their unit's serial number against information contained on Garmin's website. If an affected unit is identified then return the unit to Garmin for the replacement of the battery.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
