RECALL

[odioc]

Here is what the dealer told me today: (Recall)

The dealership should be reaching out to you in the near future to discus the loaner vehicle. I did want to give you an update as well about the final fix on the recall. A team of GM engineers has made substantial progress in identifying the root cause and potential remedies for this issue. They are in the process of validating state-of-the-art software that can diagnose potential issues early and restore 100% charge capability. A final remedy for this recall is anticipated forApril 2021.

while they are at it, modifying the software, they should put in the charge limit on all Bolt. It seems all the necessary hardware should be there, basically a settable Hill-Top-Limit. I sure like to set my daily charge limit to 65-70%

.............We were waiting for Hyundai to talk about the LG Energy Solution (LGES) statement on Kona Electric fires for a while, but now InsideEVs has an official explanation for them. According to Hyundai, it was indeed a folded anode tab in the batteries that caused the fires. Remember that these folded anode tabs could also be on the Chevrolet Bolt EV, which uses LG Energy Solution cells and also experienced fires recently.....

Hi, Trevmar. A team of GM engineers has made substantial progress in identifying the root cause and potential remedies for this issue. They are in the process of validating state-of-the-art software that can diagnose potential issues early and restore 100% charge capability. A final remedy for this recall is anticipated for April 2021. As soon as our solution is available, we will announce it on the www.chevy.com/boltevrecall website. You will be mailed a letter with instructions to visit a Chevrolet EV dealer to have them perform the final remedy.

Why point to that? https://insideevs.com/news/490950/lg-en ... ona-fires/ and https://www.hyundai.com/content/hyundai ... tation.pdf point to Nanjing, China. And, the quote says:
"Moreover, this problem was discovered in the early production stages of LG Energy Solution Nanjing plant’s Hyundai Motors-only production line, which has already been corrected."

Whereas https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2020/R ... 1-6414.PDF and numerous other docs at https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2017/CHEV ... WD#recalls point to cells produced in Ochang, (South) Korea.

The Kona also recently had a software-only "fix". Now they are recalling all the batteries. What is different about the Bolt's software-only "fix"?

Will there be any explanation, in detail to help people understand the fire risks going forward, of the way this is being fixed, and the case GM & LG Energy Solutions is making to keep people from being harmed by fire?

Hi, charge. While we cannot speculate on a competitor product, please know that we are actively engaged with LG Chem and they are working with us on a remedy. A final remedy is anticipated for April 2021 and more details will be available at that time.

Why all the Buy-Backs going on if there is a solution coming this month? Does GM believe in the solution at this point in time?
