## What is wrong

General Motors, LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain 2020\-2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV and 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV vehicles that were previously remedied under recall number 21V\-650.  The advanced diagnostic software may have been incorrectly installed and fail to detect defective battery modules, possibly resulting in a battery fire.


## What can happen

A battery fire increases the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Owners are advised to take the following interim steps:  Set the Target Charge Level feature in their vehicle to limit the charge level to 90%, charge their vehicle more frequently, avoid depleting the battery to 70 miles range remaining, park outside after charging, and do not charge the vehicle indoors overnight.  Dealers will reinstall the advanced diagnostic software, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed on August 1, 2024.  Owners may contact the Bolt EV Concierge Team at 1\-833\-382\-4389.  GM's numbers for this recall are N242443000 and N242443002.
