GM Finalizes Recovery Plan for Bolt EV Recall Measures

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] General Motors (GM) announced on the 29th (local time) that it has finalized a recovery plan for the safety recall of the 2017-2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV models.

GM uses a proprietary diagnostic tool to inspect for potential battery malfunctions and conducts a detailed analysis of the battery's condition. Then, it installs an 'Advanced Onboard Diagnostic Software' that can detect changes in the battery module's function, allowing customers to be alerted before any issues occur with the vehicle.

Additionally, GM will replace the battery module if necessary based on the initial battery inspection results. Once this procedure is completed, the battery charging limit will be restored to full 100% charging capability.

The recall will begin in the North American market. For the domestic market, GM plans to promptly proceed with the recall as soon as the diagnostic software for domestic vehicles is prepared and related parts are secured.

GM stated, "For Bolt EV models not included in this recall, the advanced diagnostic software will be made available within a few months," adding, "This software will be standard not only on the 2022 Bolt EV and EUV models but also on GM's future electric vehicles to be released."
