Since most of the known fires started in the garage while parked the danger of battery fires is still present in the battery packs unless it is replaced with a newer type that does not have the original defect. I believe that NHTSA issued the recall to give an auto manufacturer a chance to rectify a safety defect but it looks like GM has issued a clever workaround to the initial defect of their battery packs by designing a software that will give an early warning of a possible fire. This is not acceptable for the simple reason that there's no guarantee a car owner will hear or see this warning if car is unattended in the garage in the middle of the night. The original safety defect is still present in the defective battery pack so a fix should be for GM to repair the defect in the affected battery packs or replace all defective battery packs. Anything less would be morally reprehensible and an insult to a federal safety agency like the NHTSA.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"BOLT EV","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]}]}
