Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV sits within a clear downward trend in federal complaints, dropping from 175 in 2019 to 59 in 2022, and further to 57 in 2023. Recalls, however, ticked up to 7 in 2022 from 5 in 2021, before falling to 3 in 2023, while investigations remained at 1, down from 2 in earlier years. Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) for 2022 numbered 510, a slight increase over 2021’s 501 but still well below the 597–627 range of 2019–2020, indicating ongoing but moderating manufacturer guidance. The top complaint area for 2022 is the electrical system with 15 reports, yet notably there are zero fire complaints and only 3 crash complaints. This places the 2022 model in a transitional phase where owner-reported issues and investigations have sharply declined from earlier highs, though recall activity remains elevated; it is a solid used buy provided all recall repairs are confirmed complete.
