General Motors (GM) has issued a new recall for 107 Chevrolet Bolt EVs and EUVs from model years 2020–2022 due to a software defect that may prevent detection of battery module issues, posing a fire risk if charged to full or nearly full capacity. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the recall after discovering that advanced diagnostic software could fail to identify defective modules. Although no fires have been reported, GM is proactively addressing the issue, which involves vehicles previously recalled for similar fire risks.

GM previously recalled 142,000 Bolt models globally in 2020 and 2021 due to battery defects, replacing faulty battery modules and providing extended warranties. The current recall will involve software verification and updates. NHTSA will begin notifying affected owners by mail on December 16, and GM is preparing to reintroduce the Bolt in 2025 with a new propulsion system after ending the current model's production in December 2023.
