Some Chevrolet Bolt EV owners report experiencing difficulties with shifting into gear following a battery recall service and body module reprogramming. These issues may stem from a service bulletin that addressed a "service transmission, unable to shift" message, which was supposedly resolved through control module reprogramming. Additionally, there have been cases where the software update related to battery modules was incorrectly or incompletely installed during prior recalls, impacting both Bolt EV and Bolt EUV vehicles. Furthermore, General Motors has issued a recall for these models to mitigate the risk of battery fires, with plans to replace defective lithium-ion battery modules. Some owners have indicated that GM reached out to them for battery module replacements as part of the recall. If your Chevrolet Bolt EV is experiencing gear-shifting problems after recent service, it is advisable to contact your dealership or General Motors for further assistance, as they may need to reassess the software updates and reprogramming performed on the vehicle.
