GM to resume limited production of Chevy Bolts after recall



General Motors announced Tuesday that it's getting back in the Bolt business. It's resuming limited production of its Chevy Bolt electric car at its Orion Assembly plant.

Orion has been shut down since August, when GM widened its recall of the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV to cover 140,000 vehicles — every unit ever built — because of rare manufacturing flaws in the electric battery pack that represented a fire risk. Production was halted while GM and its battery supplier, LG Chem, worked out a fix, along with determining who would pay for it.

GM said limited production of new Bolts will resume Nov. 1.
