- Problem
- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV vehicles. The door-handle cable inside the rear doors may be too long, allowing contact with the window when it is opened, possibly damaging the cable. A damaged cable may cause the rear door to open unintentionally when the rear window is opened. Additionally, it may cause the rear inside door handle to not work.
- Risk
- If the rear door opens while driving, or the door handle fails to open the rear door, there is an increased risk of injury to the rear passengers.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear inside door-handle cables, free of charge. The recall began April 17, 2020. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is A202298320.
- Notes
- 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.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
The inside door-handle cable in the rear doors may be too long, so it can touch the window when the window is opened. Over time this contact can damage the cable. A damaged cable may cause a rear door to open unintentionally when the rear window is lowered, or may stop the rear inside door handle from working.
If a rear door opens while the vehicle is moving, or the handle fails to open the door when needed, rear passengers face a higher risk of injury. Owners should check their vehicle's VIN for open recalls and contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 if they have questions.
GM will notify affected owners, and dealers will replace the rear inside door-handle cables free of charge.
