— After years of action by General Motors, Chevrolet Bolt battery fires remain a problem.
This is evidenced by the latest recall of approximately 110 Bolt EV and Bolt EUV vehicles, which were previously recalled in August 2021.
The recall involves the 2020-2022 Chevrolet Bolt, whose batteries may catch fire due to failure to install diagnostic software.
GM says the Bolt can catch fire when the battery is near or fully charged.
For these Chevrolet Bolt owners, it’s back to the charging process.
“Set a target charge level feature in the vehicle to limit the charge level to 90%, charge the vehicle more frequently to avoid draining the battery to the remaining 70 miles of range, park the vehicle outside after charging, and do not charge the vehicle indoors Leave the vehicle charged overnight.”
Chevrolet Bolt battery fire recall letters will be mailed out on December 16, 2024, and dealers will again install advanced diagnostic software.
Chevrolet Bolt owners can contact the “Bolt EV Concierge Team” at 833-382-4389.
The recall number for the Chevrolet Bolt battery fire is N242470160.
