On certain vehicles, there is a possibility of overheating issues of batteries in the Garmin nüvi® 760 when certain batteries manufactured within a limited date code range are used in certain Garmin nüvi® 760 models with a specific printed circuit board (PCB) design. The interaction of these factors can, in some circumstances, increase the possibility of overheating, which may lead to a fire. Correction: Dealers will direct customers who have an affected unit to the Garmin Web site, which explains how to verify if their units are involved and includes procedures to follow for product exchange.

On certain vehicles, rubber seals inside the brake master cylinder assembly may suffer premature wear, causing internal fluid leakage. This could result in reduced braking performance, that may gradually deteriorate over time. Eventually, this could cause a complete loss of brake functionality, increasing the risk of a crash with property damage, and/or personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake master cylinder and fluid reservoir.
