Those were extremely rare conditions resulting in zero injuries. All batteries were replaced, which I consider to be more valuable than batteries that didn't have defects in the first place, because you get a fresh battery, with more capacity than the original, and an extended warranty.

There's no downside to the Bolt battery issue.
