GM recalls, once again, its Chevy Bolt | Electrek
A few years back, General Motors had to recall 142,000 Bolts in a major fiasco due to fire risk. This time around, however, just a small number of Bolts are being recalled. But the risk of fire is deemed high – according to the NHTSA – if these vehicles are charged to full or nearly full capacity.
Last December, GM cut 945 jobs from the assembly plant in Lake Orion due to the company ending its production of the Bolt EV and EUV. The factory is slated to produce Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV on GM’s new Ultium EV platform after a $4 billion investment, but the company has pushed back the launch from 2024 to late 2025.
