GM is going after LG Chem to foot the bill for the expensive Chevy Bolt recall.
When the first fires were reported, GM issued a recall with an alleged software fix to address the battery fires. This covered Bolts from the 2017 through 2019 model years. Late last month, GM issued a second recall for those same vehicles, adding that LG Chem had identified two defects with its battery packs that were the culprit behind the fires. At the time, the defects weren’t publicized, but GM urded owners to take the following precautions: GM went on to say that as part of the recall process, it would inspect the battery pack and replace any defect modules. Now, GM has expanded its recall to include all Bolt vehicles manufactured to date. That consists of the original 2017-2019 models targeted by the earlier recalls and the cars from the 2020 through 2022 model years.
