Interesting note, the Volt's battery was designed by GM. Never any fire issues, The Bolt's battery was by LG. Getting an embarrasing PR black eye, the recall costs and the unhappy customers due to an LG design was too much.

I think it's needed to say, that Bolt's battery is 3.5 times bigger and so statisticaly it's 3.5 times more prone to defects. Also it was manufactured after the production process was settled and was ready to some cost reductons, which could lead to quality degradation. Besides, they could try to adjust the software to use the battery more heavily after 10 years of no issues with Volts.

Just speculating though...

You happened to obtain the secret knowledge? Or you just want to try repairing?

On-topic: seems the BECM from Bolt is the same or very similar to Volt's one. There're guys, who claim 24289410 fits Volt, though its a Bolt's BECM and catalog says it's incompatible. The latest revision is 24298508.

Any info on that is appreciated... I thought it may help those, who's out of the warranty.

Buy one, try it, report back?

Maybe I'll have to, if 24298508 is available, while the 24296900 isn't...
