You roll the dice and take your chances. Some people were planning to do that with the 2020 - 2022 Bolts and then GM spoiled their plans by finding another fix approved by the NHTSA.
I doubt you will find many 2017 - 2019 Bolts without the recall. 18 months ago almost 2/3rd of those vehicle had replacement batteries fitted. Unlike owners of the 20-22 models - those of us with 17-19 Bolts not only got a new battery with a new warranty but the new battery was 10% larger. So there was extra incentive. Plus many people had done the earlier recall that limited battery capacity to only 80%.
My Bolt battery is warrantied to 2030.
