(Reuters) – The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Tuesday General Motors would recall 107 Bolt EV and EUV vehicles over a fire risk.
The recall covers previously repaired Bolt vehicles from model years 2020-2022.
The U.S. auto safety regulator said the installation of advanced diagnostic software may have failed, leading to a potential fire hazard when the battery is charged to full or nearly full capacity.
The regulator has advised owners of the impacted cars to limit the charge level to 90%, avoid depleting the battery to 70 miles range remaining and not charge EVs indoors overnight, among other measures.
