Chevrolet recall 24V812 covers 107 2020-2022 Bolt EV and Bolt EUV vehicles with failed battery diagnostic software. Park outside. Free repair at a Chevrolet dealer.
A battery fire increases the risk of injury. Until the software repair is complete, follow Chevrolet's charging limits, charge more often, park outside after charging, and keep overnight charging outdoors. Schedule the dealer visit soon. Repair is free at any franchised Chevrolet dealer.
Chevrolet is recalling 107 2020-2022 Bolt EV and Bolt EUV vehicles because an advanced diagnostic software installation from an earlier battery recall needs to be corrected. The high-voltage battery can catch fire when charged to full or nearly full capacity, so owners should park outside and away from structures until a Chevrolet dealer completes the free repair.

What's wrong?
The advanced diagnostic software on the 2020-2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV and Bolt EUV is part of the traction-battery control system. It is the final software remedy from recall 21V650 and is meant to evaluate the high voltage battery while the vehicle charges and operates. That matters because the battery holds the energy that powers the vehicle.
On affected vehicles, the software installation did not finish correctly during the earlier recall repair. Low voltage, power-mode disturbance, or connectivity trouble during programming interrupted the update, and a service-tool error failed to alert the technician that programming was incomplete. Without the correct software installed, the high voltage battery can catch fire when charged to full or nearly full capacity.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner notice about charging limits or a vehicle that remains limited to 80% charge is a service clue, but it is not a reliable warning before a battery fire.
Who's affected?
Affects both the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV across the 2020, 2021, and 2022 model years; all share the same high-voltage battery software remedy.

What's the safety risk?
A battery fire increases the risk of injury. Until the software repair is complete, follow Chevrolet's charging limits, charge more often, park outside after charging, and keep overnight charging outdoors. Schedule the dealer visit soon. Repair is free at any franchised Chevrolet dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV or 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Chevrolet dealer to schedule the free advanced-diagnostic-software reinstall that checks for high-voltage battery conditions linked to fire risk after charging near full.
- Set the vehicle's Target Charge Level to 90%, charge more often, and avoid running the battery below 70 miles of remaining range until the repair is complete.
- Park outside after charging, and do not charge the vehicle indoors overnight.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 24V812 when you call.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Chevrolet technician reinstalls the advanced diagnostic software for the high voltage battery, free under the recall. Until the software work is complete, keep the target charge level set to 90%, charge more often, avoid running the battery down to 70 miles of range, park outside after charging, and do not charge indoors overnight. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the covered Bolt EV and Bolt EUV vehicles are under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
