2013 CHEVROLET VOLT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2013 Chevrolet Volt has two recalls, the most serious involving a software update to the hybrid powertrain control module that can disable battery cell balancing, dropping voltage low enough to cut propulsion while driving. The second recall involves what happens when a driver leaves the vehicle without shutting off the electrical system. If the battery drains far enough, the gasoline engine can start on its own to recharge it. If that happens in a garage or other enclosed space, carbon monoxide can build up to dangerous levels without any warning.
