General Motors Co. is recalling its 2017-2019 model year Chevrolet Bolt battery-powered cars for the second time in less than a year, after two vehicles that had been repaired in a previous recall caught fire.
The company will replace battery modules in the hatchbacks after identifying the “simultaneous presence of two rare manufacturing defects” in the same battery cell, the automaker said Friday. GM in a November recall offered a software upgrade that limits recharging to 90% of full capacity as it worked to find a permanent remedy.
