GM Has Fix For Bolt Battery Fires, Not All Packs Will Be Replaced - Motor1.com​

New diagnostic software will help identify batteries needing to be fixed.

Late last month, General Motors voluntarily recalled every Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle ever made because of a potential battery defect that could cause a fire. The automaker issued guidelines on safely operating the EV while it sought a fix, which it has now found.

The automaker announced today its plan to fix the Bolt and Bolt EUV batteries, which includes replacing modules in some vehicles while installing software in others

The announcement arrives alongside news that LG battery plants have resumed production, with new, fixed battery modules expected to begin shipping to dealers as soon as mid-October, according to the company's press release.

However, not every Bolt will get a new pack. The automaker plans to only replace all the modules in 2017 to 2019 models, according to Automotive News. Those built from 2020 to 2022 will only have their batteries replaced if they're determined to be defective.

The new packs will come with an 8-year/100,000-mile limited warranty.
