General Motors is recalling about 140,000 units of its Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles in North America. The automaker said the affected units need to be fixed as the installed carpet may catch fire following a crash.
It is the part where the front seat belt pretensioner is placed. As per Reuters, General Motors announced this week that its latest recall affects Chevrolet Bold EVs with model years from 2017 to 2023.
The company further explained that the fire risk is because of the rare case where the front seatbelt pretensioner expelled gases that are coming in contact with the floor carpeting fibers after a car crash. This situation may cause a fire thus, it has warned customers about the possibility. The recall of Chevy Bolts affects 120,000 units in the United States and 20,000 cars in Canada.
It was reported that there is another defect that could also cause a fire, and this one involves the battery cell. The automaker said that in this case, the LG battery module is the main culprit of fires.
RTT News reported that General Motors will be replacing the defective lithium-ion battery modules used in Chevrolet Bolts electric vehicles and electric utility vehicles with new lithium-ion modules. GM will notify the owners when replacement parts become available.
Once they are ready, owners can call up General Motors to schedule an appointment for the repairs. They can choose the nearest authorized Chevrolet EV dealer for the replacement.
Chevrolet also notified owners of the Bolt EV and EUV about the latest software update. This will allow drivers to draw out the parking and overnight charging limitations on their units. The software update is also done through an appointment with a dealer.
Finally, while waiting for the software update, owners are urged to set their EVs to a 90% state of charge limitation through Hilltop Reserve mode for 2017-2018 models or target charge levels for those with 2029-2022 models.
