As early as November 2020, the US automaker General Motors launched a recall due to the risk of fire. But now there were again cases in which Bolt models caught fire.
The largest US automaker General Motors (GM) has had to recall numerous Chevrolet Bolt EVs for the second time due to the risk of fire.
The US Transportation Administration (NHTSA) again warned owners today not to park their cars in garages or near homes due to the risk of battery fires. GM will start another recall campaign to replace the battery modules in the affected models.
According to GM, a total of almost 69,000 vehicles built between 2017 and 2019 are affected worldwide, the majority of which (50,925) are in the US market. The batteries come from LG in South Korea. GM had launched a recall back in November 2020 to address the issue. The US traffic authorities then warned again of the risk of fire. Despite repairs already carried out, there have been other cases where Bolt models caught fire, according to NHTSA.
