Evening, I'm looking at buying a 2022 Bolt EUV that's on the dealer's lot as I guess would be considered "new old stock"?

Mine is 4109XXX. I have yet to sign a purchase agreement due to the fact that i can't legally buy it... My status is shown below

Even as a gm employee I can't speed things up

Car built on 06/25/2021.
The car left the factory on 07/30/2021.
Arrived at the dealership on 08/12/2021.

Has been sitting on the lot ever since, I do currently have a reservation payment to hold the car for me.

 

[sir3lit]

Mine is 410xxxxxx and recall still says
Recall Status: Incomplete. Remedy not available

I'm not sure on the release schedule, but the last list of eligible VINs was released on June 21st. I'll check next week to see if a new list gets released. Doesn't appear to be on a schedule of any sorts.

 

[sir3lit]

Not sure if this is known or im getting fed some BS. But according to DeeDee it's not only by VIN, but also by battery manufacturing location? Anyone able to confirm this?

 

[sir3lit]

What's the deal with this 'list'? Is it something the dealers or public have access to or do you have to ask a concierge about it?

My supervisor is a old District Service Manager, and still has access to alot of things, I don't have access to, internally. I have not seen the list as she's been out of the office for the last few days. She is back today ill see if I can get a copy and post it.

My supervisor is a old District Service Manager, and still has access to alot of things, I don't have access to, internally. I have not seen the list as she's been out of the office for the last few days. She is back today ill see if I can get a copy and post it.

There is a list that the District Service Managers have access too, list's dealerships and VINs that are eligible. VINs do not appear to be in any type of order. Appear to be mostly random?... New list every 6 to 7 days. Latest list is from June 29th new list should be coming out in the next day or so.

...mostly N4108 VINs...

The lists last update was the 29th, might just be a delay in them updating the status to open? The list also contained N4111's and N4109's and some random ones.

As its not public info, I can't share the list in its entirety. I can try to get ahold of a copy of it & post a snipit, so you guys know I'm not BSing

 

[sir3lit]

Latest list of vins is still from the 29th. Will update when a new list comes out.

 

[sir3lit]

Maybe they are trying to clear out unsold inventory for the 23 model year sales cycle?

I hope, as that's where mine is currently sitting. Don't really have much more insider information other then that pdf above.

The dealer tried to get me to order a 23, but they don't have rear heated seats, also the vin for the one I'm sitting on has my date of birth in it, find it kinda rare that it's the color and has the packages I want... feels like it's ment to be. 🤣

 

[sir3lit]

I'm tempted to write a script to automate checking all the outstanding VINs and provide everyone with the real-time transparency that GM won't...
but since I don't really know how to 'write a script',...

You've inspired me!! Below are some screenshots of a project I threw together....

You can add VINs to the list on the main page, VINs are updated every night ( might change to every other day, depending on how many VINs are added )

If a VIN with no active recall is added, they're discarded and an error is shown stating there is no recall information for that VIN.

@MichBolt If it's okay to post, ill get it all set up for the public to use.

You'd type in a VIN to be added to the list, When a VIN is added its status is pulled at the time of adding, Then que'd for an update on the next midnight cycle.

When adding a vin, you'll get one of two messages.

No identifying information is saved, the only thing saved is the VIN.
To reduce the load on the API and update times... I might change it to update the ones that are Incomplete limited or no parts... and not refresh the open ones... for obvious reasons.

 

[sir3lit]

If you're open to suggestions for features, I was thinking it would be good to be able to set a flag to track dealer stock and owner-held 2022 models separately.

The other thing would be to calculate stats on what % / # of the cars on the list change status every day so that we can estimate the rate of swaps.

It should be able to track all of the EVs and EUVs. I don't have any vins to test with that are customer owned and awaiting for batteries...

If anyone wants to check it out. You can visit it @ Bolt Recall
I can look into adding an option to select customer or dealer stock when I get home from work tonight.

 

[sir3lit]

Try this one:
1G1FY6S00M4114025

Quick update from my ex-district service manager, the latest list of VINs is still from July 6th


Ahh, thanks! I was matching to Incomplete. Limited or No Parts but for customer-owned ones, they're listed as Incomplete. Remedy not available

The following has changed,

The list is now searchable!, instead of looking through 100's of VIN's just type in a part of yours!
You can now pick whether it's dealer or customer stock when adding a vin to the list.
Added total number of vins at the top, with a basic breakdown...

The other thing would be to calculate stats on what % / # of the cars on the list change status every day so that we can estimate the rate of swaps.

So, From what I've seen GM updates vins to OPEN in batches, I currently do not check the status of VIN's that are in OPEN status, only the incomplete ones.

Unless you're talking about when it changes from Open to Closed, and the battery has been replaced by the dealer?
I'd need a vin of a bolt that has been swapped and has the recall in closed status to test with and see what the API I call outputs.

 

[sir3lit]

1G1FY6S04N4111274 was moved to closed status on 7/6 if you want to test with that one, it just shows no active recall now.

So the api I call returns nothing, when I get home I'll have to tweak the scripts that pull vins, and if it's empty then move its status to battery replaced.

Only issue I can see is that bolts that didn't have the recall can be added and would instantly get the status of battery replaced as they both output the same status...

Unless I only allow ones already in the database to return nothing... and still not allow bolts with no active Recalls.

 

[sir3lit]

Going by this, my 4113 isn't going to get a battery any time soon. Canada seems much slower than US too... ugh.

Yeh mine is a 4109, and still haven't heard anything about it. At this rate. It seems it would be faster to order a 23...

 

[sir3lit]

Has your recall status changed to open?

Mine is a 4107 and I got a text from the dealer last Friday saying the battery was expected to arrive by 8/21. I'll believe it when it happens...

 

[sir3lit]

Evening everyone!

I've made some changes to the website. Here's a list

• VINs are now updated every 6 hours.
• Changed to dark mode ( Hope everyone's eyes feel better )
• VINs in the table now are linked directly to the nhtsa.gov website, and auto search when clicked.
• The backend changed to Laravel ( wouldn't notice much on the front end )
• Now will validate the VIN number input when adding to the database, and show a proper error message.
• Added a basic page '/lookup?vin=' route to allow people to get on-demand status from the chevy API. ( To use with visualping.io )
• Added '/overview' route to see a general overview visually, instead of just numbers.
• General styling changes...

Mobile looks kinda janky at the moment... When I have more free time to mess with it.

The overview is very basic, and more of a general visual representation.
Comments and suggestions are always welcome!

I've just set up Visualping: #1 Website change detection, monitoring, and alerts to alert me if my recall status changes.

@sandwich You, well anyone, can set up one of these and use my website for it to check for a status change.

Above are the settings I would use to see if there is a change.

Note: The VIN does not need to be in the tracking database to use the lookup endpoint. The information is pulled on page load, so it's always current.

 

[sir3lit]

So I took the 4108s and 4109s and attempted to see if there was a trend by the build date... I don't really see any trends other than the few random incomplete appear to be Canadian units.

I did find it interesting that some of the dealer units had the 80% battery limit update applied... Seems kinda counter-productive to apply the 80% limit, when you have to apply another update to remove the limit once the battery has been changed.

 

[sir3lit]

Apparently the update also provides diagnostics, and if an anomaly is found, it may get the battery replaced sooner?

Hmm. But if the car is just sitting on the lot, not getting charged, driven etc. I feel that the chance of anything happening is probably slim to none? Unless the dealer was hoping it would increase their chances of getting a battery?

I've re-created your table on the overview page, as vins are updated, the table will auto-update.



If you want to use the table instead of the lookup feature, you can append '?vin={vin}' to the end of the home page to search in the table on page load.

But 1 week ago they said only 1 battery arrived and there are still 5 that are waiting...

If you have the vin. You could add it to my vin tracker above and see it's recall status, the status is also updated every 6 hours...

If the status is incomplete for the one you have reserved, that means they can't even order a battery.

If the status is open, then the dealer can place the order for the battery pack, I've heard is taking weeks for it to get delivered. But depending on where you live might make a difference...

The packs are made in Holland MI at the LG factoy, that being said if you're in California, the pack would have to be shipped by rail or truck, as its hazmat, and that would add time.

 

[sir3lit]

Dealer also said the batteries randomly appear in their tracker and they have no idea what cars they are for until they arrive.

This is false. The batteries are ordered by the dealer.

As shown in the service bulletin below

Attached is the service bulletin in its entirety

 

[sir3lit]

The latest VIN batch was released on August 3rd. They seem to be slowly changing the status to Open for them. as I didn't see any change on the 3rd, only today the 9th.
