Battery replacement recall remedy tracking summary

This post is a table summarizing the battery replacement recall remedy scheduling and completion. It is derived from posts in Post when you are Notified to have your Battery Replaced and other public postings. It was formerly post #53 of that thread.

Please post your updates in the thread linked above.

Tip: to find out if your car is eligible to schedule the remedy now, do one of the following:
If you see "incomplete" or "open", your car has an open recall that it is eligible to receive the remedy for. If you see "incomplete, remedy not yet available", your car has an open recall but cannot receive the remedy yet.

Quick summary so far of reported replacements or eligibility for replacement:
  • Specials = special cases (e.g. waiting at dealer with "bad battery codes", previously replaced battery in late 2018).
  • All = presumed all except for (possible) special cases for still waiting row.
  • Most, Many, Some, Few = as described, includes special cases other than still waiting row.
  • NR = none reported, presumed none except for (possible) special cases.
  • NDS = new dealer stock
  • KR, US = original battery origin for 2019 model year cars.

Battery made in Korea or the US? If you can see the battery label on the driver's side under the B-pillar, the third line will start with 6883 for Korea-made and 0808 for US-made recalled batteries.

Ordered my new Battery Yesterday about a 30 days after getting the 80% Software update.

The recall status on the 2017 LT Bolt that I purchased from a Chevy dealer with a non-refundable deposit changed today to "open" or "incomplete" from "remedy not available." I have only seen the car once, and not driven it of course, so I don't know the date of manufacture or origin of the battery. I have not yet heard from GM or from the dealer directly, but I thought it might be of interest to log the status change and then update with details as they unfold until I am able to take delivery. The change took place this morning (3/3/2022).

It may be worth calling the dealership to share that information and ask when they will be replacing the battery so you can complete the purchase.

I did that immediately! They probably didn't check it everyday as I did ..

Picked up the car today with the new battery.
All 20 bars lit up and GOM reading 374km, everything seems fine and I’ll post the updated numbers from OBD Fusion after a few battery cycles.

This is a very encouraging update. Thank you very much. My change in status happened over a week ago and if I have the results as quickly as you did I will be one happy guy. Also happy with my dealership in Saco Maine, where I bought the bolt without driving it and it will not be available to me until the new battery gets put in.

I got the call 2 weeks ago that the new battery for my 2019 had arrived, and took it in last week to JBA Chevrolet in Glen Burnie, MD. They asked that I bring it in the night before so the old battery could be fully discharged, and they wanted to keep it the night after to fully charge the new battery. No problem.

Upon arrival, they were very courteous and efficient. The whole process took about 15 minutes including setting me up with a loaner, an Equinox that continuously reminded me why I would never buy another gasoline powered car. And because I drive a Bolt, I wasn't required to top off the tank before returning it. Nice!

The next day my phone erupted with a warning from OnStar that the Lithium Ion battery was experiencing a crisis and I needed to get it to the dealer immediately. Very funny. The following morning they called when I expected them to, and said the car was ready. Getting it back at the dealership took less than 2 minutes and the numbers on the Guess-O-Meter with a fully charged new battery were 212, 288, and 339.

As it turned out, my wife had a girls weekend planned at the beach, and she wanted to borrow my Bolt for the trip. Her Bolt still has the old battery and it was hobbled to 80% by the last software update. (I never did that one.) I said sure. Even though it was only 161 miles each way, she kept her speed below 65 with the heat turned off, and arrived with a WHOPPING 87 miles left on the middle GOM.

I would like to officially thank GM and LG for doing the right thing. They could've been real pricks about it, but they weren't. After all, how often do you take your car into the dealership and have it returned significantly better than it was ever meant to be, and have 3 years of usage erased from your warranty?

But also, if they were "real pricks about it" they would have got their collective asses sued off, so it's not entirely altruistic. But as far as eventual outcomes go, there's no complaints from me so I am thankful as well.

Looks like increasing numbers of 2018 and 2019 with US-battery cars are being called for replacements, but most appear to be still waiting.

How many people on this forum with 2017-2019 are still "remedy not available"? As far as I can see, almost everyone with a Korean battery is eligible for the swap now.

I am still waiting. My car is a 2017 and the battery starts with 6883, but I'm still on "remedy not yet available." I periodically nag the recall concierge and local dealers.

If you don't mind sharing, how many miles do you have on your Bolt?

23k miles. Does that play into the prioritization of batteries?

Maybe, only GM knows for sure, but lower miles seems to mean more delay.

My 17 Premier with 28,500 miles is just being done. Alert to fix was 2 weeks ago.
Dealership is well aware of VacnFill and all Software Updates following installation of new 64 KWH battery.
Fingers are crossed…

Just noticed I had not updated this since my battery was ordered on March 3rd. It took 2 weeks for the battery to come in, they scheduled the install a week later. Everything went smoothly, they did have to call GM about the new battery only charging to 80%, they took care of that and charged to 100% everything has been great, no problems with low coolant, Range is where I would expect, I can now do our Day trips of 200+ miles without needing to stop for a booster charge to get home even using the heat. Very happy with how everything went.

I was called last week to get the battery ordered and my 2017 Bolt has 105,000 km (over 60K miles).

Got my 2019 Bolt battery replaced Monday, April 25 at East Syracuse Chevrolet in Syracuse, NY. Dropped off 8 AM Monday, picked up 1 PM Tuesday. They paid for a rental vehicle, and said I was their first battery swap for the recall (but not first battery swap, thankfully). They have a list of repairs at least 15 deep until November! My repair was originally scheduled for May 2, but they mentioned Chevy wanted them to move their schedule up on the recall repairs. (edited to add model year)
