Each year is complaints filed in that year’s first 3 years on the road, divided by however many of those years have passed. A model year younger than 3 years is too early to compare, so it is left out of the years named as having the fewest or the most complaints. Recalls are a separate count. The numbers are for the US-market Chevrolet Bolt EUV. How we count.

Known issues for this generation

Recall 21V-650 covers certain 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV vehicles and 2020-2022 Bolt EV vehicles: the high-voltage battery could catch fire when charged to full or nearly full capacity. The campaign lists 52,414 vehicles across those models. Interim guidance included limiting charge to about 90%, charging more often, avoiding low state of charge near 70 miles remaining, parking outside after charging, and not charging indoors overnight; defective battery modules are replaced. Follow-on recalls 24V-481 and 24V-812 address vehicles previously remedied under 21V-650 where advanced diagnostic software may not have installed correctly (24V-812 lists 107 vehicles). Recall 21V-517 covers certain 2022 Bolt EUV and Bolt EV vehicles for a driver's frontal air-bag fastener.
