Service bulletin PIP5112F
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
As part of our ongoing quality improvement process effective as of 08/06/2014, the Drive Motor Battery for the 2014 - 2015 Spark EV and several internal components are being placed on restriction through the General Motors Technical Assistance Center (TAC). The dealership must call TAC to establish a TAC case number and authorization to order the Rechargeable Energy Storage System (RESS) or any of the internal components listed below. TAC or Engineering will then provide guidance if internal components should be replaced or if the RESS should be replaced. If it is to be replaced, TAC will call the Battery Service Center (BSC) to order the Drive Motor Battery. At this point in time, the 2015 Spark EV Drive Motor Battery is on exchange and not to be opened for service unless authorized by GM TAC and Engineering.
