First spotted by Reddit users, the report shows that as of April 22, 26,925 vehicles out of a total 57,414 of the most trouble-prone 2017-2019 models—featuring the original, potentially flawed cells made in South Korea—have had recall work completed. That's about 45% of the total number of vehicles potentially affected by the recall, which addresses manufacturing defects that could lead to battery fires.

In addition, 210 vehicles are listed as "unreachable," and a further 345 are listed as "removed." Owners were notified of the recall between August 13, 2021, and October 12, 2021, according to the report.

All Bolt EV models, as well as the Bolt EUV derivative, are affected by the recall, and there are two recall campaigns affecting a total of about 110,000 U.S. vehicles. GM opted to replace battery modules in all 2017-2019 models—a logistical feat for GM as replacement batteries are needed on top of those slated for use in new vehicles.

Among the second, newer group of Bolt EVs (and Bolt EUVs) recalled, including 52,414 Bolt EVs with cells of an updated design originating in Holland, Michigan, just 661 (barely over 1%) have been remedied up until April 22. That's a clear indication that while the later cars are still recalled, with some of them perhaps getting a pack replacement, the earlier vehicles are the priority.

For the newer group of vehicles, GM flashed a new software update to affected vehicles last fall, initially dropping the maximum state of charge to 80 percent but gradually easing it back to 100% if the battery pack passed diagnostic tests.
