I just recently purchased a new 2018 Volt manufactured in June, and was wondering the exact same question. Thanks!
2017 Battery Energy Control Module replacement BECM
I have a 2017 with 36k. I didn't find much on here about this and I'm curious who else has gone through this, and what this means long term.
I had a few instances where the Check engine light came on and the car shifted over to the generator, even though there was more then 50% battery life. Thankfully I never got stranded. The first few times I brought it in they just updated the software and told me I should be good to go. The third time I took it to a different dealer and they diagnosed it as a full replacement , bulletin 18-na-261.
The dealer handled it well, got a loaner and 6 days later I'm back on the road. They had to do the battery to access it.The dealer said it was very rare. But I have trust issues with dealers, lol.
So,
- how common is this?
- long term issues?
- any possible damage to the battery?
