Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

General Motors is recalling 107 Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV vehicles (model years 2020–2022) that were previously repaired for battery fire issues. The advanced diagnostic software installed during the previous recall may have failed to function correctly. This defect can lead to a high-voltage battery fire when the vehicle is charged to or near its full capacity, so General Motors is offering a free software reinstallation to affected owners.

Risk

The high-voltage battery can catch fire when charged to full or nearly full capacity, significantly increasing the risk of injury. NHTSA advises owners to park their vehicles outdoors and away from structures until the remedy is completed to prevent fire spread.

What You Should Do

  1. Park this vehicle outdoors, away from structures — do NOT park in a garage due to fire risk.
  2. Immediately set the 'Target Charge Level' feature in your vehicle to limit the maximum charge level to 90%.
  3. Charge your vehicle more frequently and avoid depleting the battery to less than 70 miles of remaining range.
  4. Do not charge the vehicle indoors overnight.
  5. Contact the Bolt EV Concierge Team at 1-833-382-4389 to schedule a free software reinstallation at an authorized dealer (GM recall number N242470160).
  6. For additional questions, contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
