In 2020 a safety recall was issued on the Bolt EV around batteries catching fire in unattended new, low mileage vehicles. A temporary fix was assigned to restrict the battery's state of charge to 90%.  After several months, a \"final\" software fix was issued to address the problem (N202311731).  Since this fix, two additional fires have occurred in low mileage / non-abused or damaged vehicles. Today Chevrolet issued an additional recall (N212343880) stating that battery cell swaps would be required and owners should not maintain a state of charge outside of 30%-90% (reducing the range from 235 miles to 140 miles or less).   As an owner with some moderate knowledge of lithium polymer batteries, I do not have confidence that Chevrolet will be able to successfully detect manufacturing defects at scale and replace all impacted cells.  As this is the third critical safety recall on a single component, which is fully warranted and under a low mileage, NHTSA needs to critically review if Chevrolet dealerships have the capabilities and training to properly diagnose and replace individual LiPo cells within a battery pack.  As an owner, the only \"real\" solution which would give confidence of a safe vehicle would be a full battery pack replacement, or a full buy back of the vehicle in question, regardless of local state lemon laws. So far, vehicle buybacks seem strongly tied to local state lemon laws. This is an unacceptable situation for owners from a safety position.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"BOLT EV","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]}]}
