Additional Information
General Motors (GM) and LG Chem have agreed to a $150 million class action settlement to resolve allegations of defective battery packs in 2017–2022 Chevrolet Bolt EVs. The lawsuit claims these batteries were prone to defects that could lead to fires, limiting vehicle usability and safety. Plaintiffs allege fraudulent omission, breach of warranty, and violations of consumer protection laws.
While GM and LG deny the allegations, they have agreed to settle to avoid further litigation.
Eligible class members can receive the following benefits:
-
Battery Replacement Final Remedy Payment:
- Class members whose vehicles received or are eligible for a replacement battery can claim a $700 payment.
- If the vehicle had multiple owners/lessees, the payment will be split proportionally based on ownership periods.
-
Software Final Remedy:
- Approximately 22,560 vehicles are eligible for advanced diagnostic software to monitor battery health.
- If anomalies are detected, free battery pack or module replacement is provided along with an extended 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty.
- If no issues are found, the battery will return to a 100% state of charge.
-
Software Final Remedy Payment:
- Vehicles receiving the Software Final Remedy are eligible for a $1,400 payment.
- Former owners or lessees of vehicles that became eligible after they sold or terminated their lease may claim $700.
Class members who have already received partial compensation through GM’s E-Card Program are not eligible for additional payments but may qualify for other benefits.
