已同意赔偿通用汽车高达 19 亿美元的召回和维修费用

Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles due to fire risks caused by faulty batteries provided by the South Korean supplier.

GM said Tuesday.

That’s up from a previous estimate of $1.8 billion.

As a result of the agreement,

GM will recognize an estimated recovery in the third-quarter that will offset $1.9 billion of $2.0 billion in charges associated with the recalls.

The automaker previously said it was pursuing reimbursement from LG.

LG did not immediately respond for comment.

The manufacturing problems
occurred at LG Battery Solution’s plants in South Korea and Michigan.

The “rare manufacturing defects” in the Bolt EVs

are a torn anode tab and folded separator that when present in the same battery cell increase the risk of fire, according to GM.
