The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Tuesday General Motors would recall 107 Bolt EV and EUV vehicles over a fire risk.

The recall covers previously repaired Bolt vehicles from model years 2020-2022.

The U.S. auto safety regulator said the installation of advanced diagnostic software may have failed, leading to a potential fire hazard when the battery is charged to full or nearly full capacity.

The regulator has advised owners of the impacted cars to limit the charge level to 90 per cent, avoid depleting the battery to 70 miles range remaining and not charge EVs indoors overnight, among other measures.
