Will the third time be the charm for Chevy’s diagnostic software? After multiple software updates, GM Authority is reporting yet another recall centered on specific Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV model years. While it is currently unknown how many cars will be impacted, the recall bulletin only involves specific 2020-2022 MY vehicles in which the diagnostic software was “incorrectly installed” previously.
All battery-related fires were attributed to packs assembled by LG Chem in South Korea between 2016 and 2019. Chevrolet claimed that any car built after LG moved cell production to the United States halfway through the 2019 model year was not defective. But that all changed after a 2020 Bolt caught fire while charging in California. GM expanded the recall in August of 2021 to include all 140,000 units delivered.
