What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the recall repairs may not have been completed by a General Motors dealer during recall N222383790 and/or N222383791 (Transport Canada recall number 2022-719). As a result, a second inspection is required. On certain vehicles, the carpet could catch fire after a crash where a front seat belt pretensioner deploys.

Why it matters

A fire that occurs after a crash could create an increased risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, install foil tape under the carpet near the front seatbelt pretensioners. On certain model year vehicles, the technician will also install seatbelt pretensioner covers.

Transport Canada recall 2021631 · manufacturer campaign N212345450

14 October 2021

Transport Canada lists: Bolt Ev 2017–2021

What is wrong

This recall is for certain driver's all-weather floor liners sold with new vehicles or as accessory parts sold at General Motors dealerships. On certain vehicles, the accelerator pedal could get stuck on the floor liner. If this happens, the vehicle may not slow down when you release the accelerator pedal. Note: If you continue to push the brake pedal, the brake-override system will allow you to stop the vehicle.

Why it matters

A stuck accelerator pedal could lead to unintended acceleration and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the driver's all-weather floor liner. You should remove the all-weather floor liner until you receive the replacement part.

High Voltage

Transport Canada recall 2021449 · manufacturer campaign N212343880

23 July 2021

Transport Canada lists: Bolt Ev 2017–2019

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the high-voltage battery could overheat when it is charged to over 90% of its capacity. As a result, the battery could create smoke or heat, which can melt or damage the battery and nearby parts.

Why it matters

A battery that overheats can create a fire risk.

What the dealer will do

General Motors will notify owners by mail and replace defective battery modules. Until replacement battery modules are available, General Motors recommends the following: 1. Enable "Hilltop Reserve" (for 2017-2018 models) or "Target Charge Level" (for 2019 models) using the vehicle's infotainment centre to limit the state of charge to 90%. If you are unable to make these changes, or do not feel comfortable making them, you should visit a dealer to have these adjustments completed. 2. Charge your vehicle more frequently and avoid depleting the battery below approximately 113 km (70 miles) of remaining range, where possible. 3. Out of an abundance of caution, park your vehicle outside immediately after charging and not leave vehicle charging indoors overnight.

Transport Canada recall 2020130 · manufacturer campaign A202298320

26 March 2020

Transport Canada lists: Bolt Ev 2019–2020

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the rear doors may unlatch suddenly due to a damaged cable caused by repeated rear window movement. As a result of this damage, a rear door could open while driving when the window is lowered. A damaged cable may also cause the inside door handle not to work.

Why it matters

A door that opens while the vehicle is moving could create an increased risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the inside door handle cable in both rear doors. Note: Until the recall repairs are completed, you can prevent the chance of a door opening while driving by turning on the child lock feature in the rear doors.
