The recall comes after GM previously recalled about 70,000 Bolt vehicles for the same potential issue. The recall now covers Bolt EVs and EUVs from 2017 to 2022.
The recalled Bolt vehicles may catch fire after being loaded due to a manufacturing defect, the company said. Until the batteries in the recalled vehicles can be checked and replaced, if necessary, GM recommends that the vehicles be only 90% charged. Owners also need to charge their vehicles more frequently and avoid letting the battery run out within 70 miles of range. Vehicles should also be parked outside immediately after charging and should not be loaded indoors.
GM now says it is pursuing reimbursements from Korean battery maker LG, the company that made the batteries that GM said are the cause of the problem.
LG did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
