General Motors is recalling approximately 6,771 Chevrolet Bolt EV vehicles from the 2017-2023 model years because a crash that causes the front seat belt pretensioners to deploy can ignite carpet fibers near the center pillar (B-pillar). This recall specifically includes vehicles that were previously repaired incorrectly under a prior recall for the same issue. To fix this, dealers will inspect the seat belt pretensioners and install protective metal foil or covers at the carpet to prevent ignition.
When a seat belt pretensioner activates during a crash, it releases hot gases that can ignite nearby carpet fibers. This creates a fire risk inside the vehicle cabin, which increases the likelihood of occupant injury.
Inspection and installation of metal foil and/or pretensioner covers.
