Buying a used 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 59 owner complaints on file

Unlike earlier Bolt years, no battery fire recall appears here. The three listed are two critical seat belt items, a part that can cause fire and one that can ignite carpet after a crash, and a passenger airbag that may not open properly; none carries a park-outside advisory. Among 59 NHTSA complaints, all unverified owner reports, eight involve crashes, five injuries and one fire. Electrical system and steering tie at 17 each.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Confirm both seat belt recalls and the passenger airbag recall are closed by VIN
3. Ask about accident history, given the crash count in complaint filings
4. Check steering feel and look for electrical or brake warning lights
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
