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. - [2009179](/recalls/tc/2009179.md), 2009-06-10: Engine. On certain vehicles, the engine cooling fan may stop working due to a software programming error in the Fan Control Module \(FCM\). Depending on conditions, the driver may experience reduced air conditioning performance and/or rapid increase in engine coolant temperature. This could result in a loss of cooling system function and engine break down. The driver may not have sufficient time to react to the warning light\(s\) or the text message in the instrument panel, increasing the risk of a crash causing personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the Fan Control Module. - [2009124](/recalls/tc/2009124.md), 2009-04-23: Electrical. On certain vehicles, the diagnostic software in the Central Electronic Module \(CEM\) may cause a malfunction of the windshield wiper functionality. If this occurs, the windshield wipers may not operate when activated; or in certain cases the windshield wipers may activate when not switched on. Should this occur during a rainy/snowy day, it could increase the risk of a crash, causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install updated CEM software. - [2007400](/recalls/tc/2007400.md), 2007-12-12: Label.

On certain vehicles, incorrect software was programmed into the Safety Restraint System \(SRS\) control module. As a result, the inflatable curtain and side impact airbag may not deploy as intended. A late activation of the Side Impact Protection System \(SIPS\) can result in an increased risk of injury to an occupant during a crash. The incorrect SRS module software may also cause the SRS warning lamp to illuminate and the message "SRS Airbag \- Service Urgent" to be displayed. Correction: Dealers will update the SRS control module software. ## Check a VIN - [NHTSA recall lookup by VIN, United States](https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls) - [Transport Canada recall search, Canada](https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng) Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada.
