GM tells 50K Chevrolet Bolt EV owners to park outside due to fire risk
Fox News
GM and NHTSA are warning some Chevrolet Bolt EV owners to park their cars outside due to a fire risk. A manufacturing defect in their battery packs can short and cause a fire.
Last year, Chevrolet identified a manufacturing defect that could cause a short in some battery packs that could lead to a fire when fully-charged and developed software to restrict their state of charge to 90%. It later issued diagnostic software to identify the issue before it manifested itself so repairs to the packs could be made. However, both Briglin’s and the owner’s car had recently been fixed. "We are moving as quickly as we can to investigate this issue," a GM spokesperson told the Associated Press.More Related News
