Chevy Bolt battery modules to be replaced

General Motors will replace the battery modules in certain Chevy Bolt EV units involved in the battery fire recall campaign.

According to Reuters, GM has now decided vehicles involved in the second recall campaign will receive new battery modules. While there were about 69,000 vehicles involved in the first recall, this second campaign affects roughly 50,000 vehicles.

**Please note**: some reportage on this is stating this problem by total number of modules, to be replaced, which is misleading to the majority of the public who won't understand that there may be multiple battery modules within one vehicle, cheap shot journo-hack-ism.

Whilst this is a bad, avoidable thing to have happened, this is the auto / production industry not limited to "a problem with EV's" but a production & design & implementation problem.
