Obama Union Bailout recipient GM's Chevy Bolt Recall Casts Shadow Over EV Push

Andrew Krupowicz was relieved last month to end the lease on his 2019 
Chevrolet Bolt electric car, which had been recalled for the risk of a 
battery fire. He replaced it with a new, larger Bolt model that wasn’t 
subject to the safety callback.

“I thought, ‘Great, I’m out of the woods,’” he said. But two weeks later, 
General Motors Co. expanded its recall to include every Bolt it has built, 
including his own vehicle. The chartered accountant from Toronto is 
keeping the car but adding a networked fire alarm in case it catches fire.

GM this month expanded the Bolt safety recall for the second time, calling 
back the roughly 142,000 models built since it went on sale five years 
ago. The Detroit auto maker also paused production of all new Bolts. The 
safety action on its lone U.S. electric car will cost GM an estimated $1.8 
billion, or around $12,700 per car, among its costliest recalls.

The safety problems underscore the risks for traditional auto makers as 
many take a sharp turn toward electric vehicles. The high cost of energy-
dense lithium-ion battery cells means replacement expenses can spiral when 
defects occur. Ford Motor Co. , Hyundai Motor Co. and other car companies 
have been hit with huge costs to fix relatively small numbers of electric 
cars.

For GM, the recent troubles come as it tries to convince consumers and 
investors that it is ready to lead the car industry’s transition to 
electrics. While the cars have been recalled, GM and battery-cell supplier 
LG Energy Solution still don’t have a fix.
