Well, without seeing the actual language, it's hard to know exactly what
they intend. However, given that $1400 is a lot less for them to spend
than the cost of replacing the battery, I have to assume that by
accepting the $1400 you forever waive your right to a new battery.
Are you currently getting more or less the full range ? If so, what
would the advantage be to accepting the recall ?

Subject: [EVDL] Bolt EV $1400 Bait Recall
Hi folks
I just received another Chevy Bolt EV recall notice to bring my car in and have
the range reduced to 80% (instead of replacing the costly battery). They
should have (like EVeryone else) put a local 80% trip notice on the screen and
manual but refused. The notice claims they’ll give me $1400 “e-card” Visa if
I go online and agree to their terms and bring my EV in to get the range
reduced for 6200 miles. If no fault is found then supposedly the range will go
back to 100% available. On the back of the notice it says they’re involved in a
class action law suit and appears to imply that if I agree to receiving $1400
now that I won’t be included in the class action lawsuit. Originally I was told
that I’d have my battery replace but looks like they reneged in that , software
is cheap.
So should I do this and get the recall?
Or is it a scam and ignore the $1400 bait?
Have a renewable energy day
Mark
