Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2023 Bolt EUV saw a sharp rise in owner complaints to 104, up from 23 in 2022, with steering, forward collision avoidance, and electrical system issues leading the reports. Despite this increase, the 2023 model had zero recalls and zero investigations, a notable drop from the 4 recalls and 1 investigation recorded for 2022. Technical service bulletins also declined from 462 to 364, suggesting fewer documented service procedures. The 10 crash complaints and 1 fire complaint in 2023 are present but not linked to a specific root cause in the data. This pattern implies that while owners reported more problems in 2023, none triggered federal safety actions, which may indicate isolated rather than systemic defects. For a used 2023 Bolt EUV, the elevated complaint volume—especially in steering and collision avoidance—warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection, but the absence of recalls and investigations is a positive signal relative to the prior year.
