Garmin is recalling 1.25 million of its nüvi satnavs after batteries overheated, with UK customers among those affected by the flaw.According to Garmin, the issue only affects devices containing batteries manufactured within a set date range by a third-party supplier and that have a specific printed circuit board design.
