Vehicles Affected: Approximately 900 model-year 2019-20 Chevrolet Bolt EV hatchbacks
The Problem: The door-handle cable inside the rear doors may be too long, allowing contact with the window when it’s 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, increasing the risk of an injury.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the rear inside door-handle cables for free.
What Owners Should Do:Chevrolet manufacturer GM will begin notifying owners May 11. Owners can call Chevrolet at 800-222-1020, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
