Fire Hazard from Garmin Nuvi Prompts Recalls from Suzuki and Nissan

After Garmin announced a voluntary recall of 1.25 million units of its popular Nuvi GPS system at the end of August amidst concerns that the batteries could overheat and catch fire, Suzuki and Nissan followed with a recall on several vehicles equipped with the affected Garmin Nuvi navigation systems including the 750, 760, or 765 models for the same reason.

Now that the 2011MY Rogue (for details on the facelift, read our previous post here) has arrived in showrooms, Nissan decided to release pricing for its updated compact crossover. The new Rogue is offered in two trim levels, S and SV, plus the special edition "S Krom", with prices ranging from $20,810 to $25,660, not including tax, title and license fees.

Having being on the market since 2007, it's time for Nissan to give its Rogue compact crossover a mid-life facelift. Revealed ahead of the crossover's first public outing this Staurday at the 23rd Annual International Z Car Convention in Nashville, the refreshed Rogue features new styling elements and equipment upgrades, while retaining the same mechanical hardware.

Nissan has released pricing for its new 2010 Rogue S Krom Edition that's on sale now with a starting MSRP (excluding tax, title and license fees) of $23,940 for the front-wheel drive model and $25,140 for the AWD version.

Marketed as a 'special sporty' version of the Rogue, the Krom Edition is all about looks with Nissan's definition of the term translating into blingy 17-inch alloy wheels, a center-exit sport-tuned exhaust, a specific two-bar chrome grille and a different treatment for the front and rear bumpers.

The package is finished off with a rear spoiler, rear privacy glass, body-colored exterior mirrors, a Krom emblem and steering wheel-mounted audio controls.

The Rogue S Krom Edition is offered in three exterior colors – Venom Red, Wicked Black and Gotham Gray.

There are no changes under the hood with Krom Edition featuring the standard 170-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine coupled to Nissan's Xtronic continuously variable transmission.
