Chevrolet Bolt EUV Recalls (2022-2022)
The Chevrolet Bolt EUV has been the subject of 4 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2022 model years. They cluster mostly around the electrical system and air bags.
The Chevrolet Bolt EUV scores 2 out of 100 (grade F), one of the heavier recall records among the vehicles we track. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 100% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 50% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 4 campaigns span 1 model year of the Chevrolet Bolt EUV. The single largest affected 52,414 vehicles, over electrical system. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common Bolt EUV problems owners report and its crash-test safety ratings.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Chevrolet Bolt EUV may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
