Is Chevy still replacing Bolt batteries?

Chevy Bolt Battery Replacement Status
Based on the information available, it appears that General Motors (GM) has made changes to the battery replacement program for certain 2020-2022 Chevy Bolt owners. Instead of automatically replacing the batteries, GM is offering a software diagnostics tool to verify if the batteries have problems before a replacement would be performed. This change has caused dissatisfaction among some Bolt owners. It’s important to note that this change only applies to 2020-2022 Bolt owners, and not to earlier model years.
Some Bolt owners were initially promised new batteries, but GM has clarified that 20-22 Bolt owners were never promised new batteries. Instead, they were promised fixed defective modules. Additionally, GM is offering an early payment of $1,400 of an anticipated class action settlement in exchange for installing a piece of diagnostics software that will detect whether batteries require a full replacement.
It’s worth noting that the warranty coverage for replaced batteries due to the recall is reset to 8 years/100,000 miles. The situation is ongoing, and it’s recommended for affected Bolt owners to stay informed about any further developments.
Given the evolving nature of this situation, it’s advisable for affected Bolt owners to directly contact GM or their local Chevy dealer for the most current information regarding battery replacements for their specific vehicles.
