2019 CHEVROLET BOLT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2019 Chevrolet Bolt has 5 recalls, the most serious being two separate fire risks: the high-voltage battery can catch fire when charged to full or near-full capacity, and after a crash, the seatbelt pretensioner can exhaust hot gases that ignite carpet near the B-pillar. On the battery fire issue, prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the problem, and certain vehicles that received an earlier fix remain affected. The pretensioner fire risk carries a similar history, as some vehicles were incorrectly repaired under an earlier campaign and are included again here. There is also a door latch concern: an oversized cable inside the rear doors can contact the window when it opens, which may damage the cable over time and cause a rear door to swing open while driving, or leave a rear passenger unable to open the door from the inside.
