Thanks Gino!
I have a 265w so should be safe but if this turns out like the laptop battery fiasco expect to see more recalls over the next year.

"Your device has not been recalled." - that's what I got when I checked my 760

Re: Garmin nüvi Battery Recall
had my 260W recalled.. pretty painless.. just print off the prepaid UPS shipping label, send it in, and you get it back in about 14 days with a new battery..

Re: Garmin nüvi Battery Recall
Well I was expecting 14 days.. it's now been 5 weeks and still no sign.. I called yesterday and was told "It's on it's way to Alberta" (and then distributed from there)..
