AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV vehicles. The instrument panel may be missing the perforation on the underside of the panel cover that allows the passenger-side air bag to deploy properly.
- What it can cause
- An air bag that does not deploy properly in a crash increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the instrument panel, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 21, 2023. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N232414710.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 317 vehicles this is a small campaign: 54% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 77 times before this, most recently in July 2023 as 23V516000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 118 complaints with NHTSA, 47 of them before this campaign was filed. 8 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in August 2021, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V812000 (electrical system), 24V481000 (electrical system), 23V845000 (structure), 22V930000 (structure).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by General Motors, LLC with NHTSA on August 10, 2023 as campaign 23V567000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
