Q4) What is the remedy/repair?

Q5) What is the safety risk?

If the batteries in certain vehicles within this population are charged to full capacity, or very close to full capacity, the batteries may pose a risk of fire.

 

Q6) Does the customer have to pay for this remedy/repair?

No, this repair will be done at no cost to the customer.

 

Q7) Is the remedy/repair available now?

No, when a sufficient quantity of parts are available, the vehicles will be moved to the Safety recall bulletin N212345941, and dealers will begin repairing vehicles.

A software update is available for these vehicles that will remove the parking and charging limitations. Owners of 2020-2022 model year Chevrolet Bolt EVs and 2022 model year Chevrolet Bolt EUVs who have not yet received their replacement battery modules should schedule a service appointment at their preferred Chevrolet EV dealer as soon as possible to have the software installed.

This software will automatically limit your vehicle’s maximum state of charge to 80%, which will allow you to safely resume:

  • charging indoors overnight;
  • depleting your vehicle’s battery below 113 km (70 miles) of range, resulting in greater overall vehicle range compared to GM’s prior interim charging guidance; and,
  • parking indoors after charging.

 

Q8) What should customers do until recall repairs can be completed? Are there any special instructions?

Owners of 2020-2022 model year Chevrolet Bolt EVs and 2022 model year Chevrolet Bolt EUVs who have not yet received their replacement battery modules should schedule a service appointment at their preferred Chevrolet EV dealer as soon as possible to have the software update installed. Until the Advanced Diagnostic software update is installed in N212345940-01, customers should continue to take the following interim steps:

  1. Customers should set their vehicle’s high-voltage battery system to a 90% state of charge limitation using Target Charge Level mode. If customers are unable to successfully make these changes, or do not feel comfortable making these changes, customers should visit their dealer to have these adjustments completed.
  1. Additionally, we ask that customers charge their vehicle more frequently and avoid depleting their battery below approximately 70 miles (113 KM) of remaining range, where possible.
  1. Out of an abundance of caution, customers should continue to park their vehicles outside immediately after charging and not leave their vehicles charging indoors overnight.

 

Q9) How can customers check to see if their vehicle is involved in this field action?

Customers who own a vehicle involved in the field action will be notified by mail by General Motors, but they may also check their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for field actions in GM Owner Center at https://my.gm.com/recalls or via NHTSA’s website at https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/.

 

Q10) If customers are concerned, can they get a rental car or courtesy transportation?

Courtesy transportation is available for customers whose vehicles are involved in this safety recall.

 

Q11) Where should customers go to get more information on the recall?

Customers should visit www.chevy.com/boltevrecall or contact the Chevrolet EV Concierge 1-833-EVCHEVY.  Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM ET or Saturday and Sunday, 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM ET or contact their preferred Chevrolet EV dealer.

 

Q12) How long should a customer expect to wait for replacement battery modules?

We’re working with our supplier and manufacturing teams to determine how to best expedite capacity for battery module replacement under this recall.

1 Associated Investigation

EV Battery Fire
NHTSA ID: PE20016
Dated opened: October 9, 2020

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has received two Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs) regarding a model year (MY) 2018 and a MY 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV and alleging that the vehicles caught fire under the rear seat while parked and unattended.

ODI conducted additional research, and found a MY 2017 Bolt EV with a similar burn pattern in the interior rear seat area.

In the three cases identified, fire damage appeared to be concentrated in the EV battery compartment area with penetration into the passenger compartment from under the rear seat. The root cause of these fires is unknown. One of these incidents, ODI 11230072, reported smoke inhalation injuries.

ODI is opening a Preliminary Evaluation to assess the scope, frequency, circumstances, and safety consequences of the alleged fires.

The reports cited above can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under the following reference numbers: 11230072, 11339878.

Approved J2534 Device with TIS2WEB can reprogram 1996 and later All GM Modules.

To obtain the latest electronic controller calibration information for your vehicle, go to https://tis2web.service.gm.com/tis2web and enter the vehicle's 17 character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and select 'Get CAL ID’.

You can then compare the latest part number with the actual number installed on the vehicle to determine if a reprogram is needed.

The Service Programming System (SPS) application is part of the TIS2Web system. To program an ECU, the SPS application must communicate with the vehicle control modules using the proper J2534 programming interface tool.

The following are the supported interface tools:

The Tech 2 supports model years 1996 and beyond. With the addition of the CAN Diagnostic Interface (CANdi) module, Tech 2 is fully backward compatible with current Tech 2 functionality and operates transparently when diagnosing non-CAN-equipped vehicles.

Servicing the next generation Global A vehicles will require the diagnostic software, GDS2, Global Diagnostic System 2 running on a local PC device while the MDI is connected to the vehicle. The GM MDI is the Global Diagnostic tool for future vehicles starting with Global A vehicles.

The GM MDI was introduced in the fall of 2007 for Pass-Thru programming and offers faster programming speed. It can be used to perform Pass-Thru programming on all vehicles built since 1996 and into the future. Click here to view a list of GDS supported vehicles.
