Why are Chevy Bolt owners entitled to a $5,000-$15,000 settlement?

Chevrolet Bolt model years 2017-2022 were issued numerous recalls with the most significant one issued in November 2021 over a significant fire hazard due to a faulty battery. The recall was issued in response to some Bolts spontaneously catching on fire. An EV such as Bolt catching on fire means that the fire would not be put out until the vehicle burned completely. Even though Chevrolet issues a recall on November 2021, there was no actual fix to the problem. 

Due to the extreme fire hazard nature of the recall, Bolt owners were forbidden from fully utilizing and enjoying their vehicles by: 

1. Not being able to park their Chevy Bolt in their own garage
2. Not being able to use the advertised battery range since battery couldn’t be charged over 80%
3. Be denied parking at most public and private garages
4. Never having the peace of mind while driving their family

Loss of Use and Enjoyment

Most people don’t know that under California Law, this loss of use and enjoyment entitles them to a SIGNIFICANT compensation, with settlement amounts generally ranging between $5,000 to $15,000 for purchased vehicles. Leased Bolts may generally recover the total amount of payments made during the lease term.

Over a billion dollars has been allocated to settle these cases. But, please be aware that there won’t be any available compensation once this fund runs out. We estimate that to happen later this year and strongly urge you to start the process TODAY to make sure you don’t miss out on your settlement.

How to know if you qualify for a settlement

Everybody who purchased or leased their Chevrolet Bolt in California prior to the announcement of the battery recall in November 2021 is entitled to a significant monetary compensation. This includes people who have since sold their Bolts or returned their leases. As long as you were the registered owner of the Chevy Bolt at the time the recall was announced, you will qualify!

Eligibility for Settlement: 

• Chevrolet Bolt must have been purchased or leased from a dealership in California
• The purchase/lease date must precede the announcement of the battery recall in November 2021
• Must be able to provide a copy of the original Purchase or Lease Contract
• Must be able to provide a copy of the vehicle registration

For 2022 year models, Chevrolet switched to installing Samsung instead of LG batteries. All the 2022 models installed with an LG battery are eligible for a compensation. Since the Samsung battery was a perfectly fine product, Bolts installed with that battery do not qualify for a settlement. If you’re not sure which battery you have on your 2022, you may check if there is a battery recall on your Bolt by checking on the GM website for the recall: https://experience.gm.com/ownercenter/recalls

Zero Fees and No Out-Of-Pocket Costs

• You keep 100% of the settlement. The California Lemon Law contains provisions that permit attorneys to recover their litigation fees and costs directly from General Motors.
• There are no out-of-pocket costs. If an attorney decides to take on your case, they will fund the entire litigation process. 
• All settlements negotiated are strictly confidential and are managed directly with GM corporate, not with your local dealership. Funds have already been allocated to compensate owners for the inconveniences and potential dangers posed by the affected vehicles.

Recall Settlement is able to help you secure a settlement with any car make from the list below. Have you gone to the dealership to complain about defects to your car? And was your car still under warranty? If so, we could help you return your vehicle and get all of your money back.

 Or, you could keep the vehicle and receive a significant cash settlement in the 5-figure range.
