Buying a used 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV? Check these 4 recalls first
Three of the four recalls concern the high-voltage battery: a fire risk when fully charged, plus two campaigns covering battery software fixes that may not have installed. All three carry a park-outside advisory, though none says stop driving. A fourth involves a possibly missing driver airbag fastener. Only 26 NHTSA complaints, unverified owner reports, with one crash and no fires; steering leads at nine, ahead of electrical system and forward collision avoidance at four each.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Ask for proof the battery software or module fix actually installed, not just was mailed
- Confirm the driver airbag fastener recall inspection was done
- Note any steering play, pull, or noise on the test drive
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
