Bolt prices peaked 3 weeks ago and are just slightly in decline now.
The very first battery recall was for early '17 model year Bolts, and a software update looked for defective batteries and alerted GM to replace them before stranding the owner.
The second recall in November was for '17-'19 model year Bolts and reduced the max charge to 90% as a precaution while the "final remedy" was engineered.
The third recall was the "final remedy" which restored 100% charging ability and supposedly would identify a defective battery and stop the vehicle from operating if that condition was present. 2 Bolts from model year 2019 that have had this final remedy applied have caught fire prompting GM to recommend people move their vehicles outside after charging, and to keep the battery between 30-80% state of charge.
