General Motors has issued a service update for a very small batch of the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt. The campaign covers just four cars in the U.S. market, where the steering-column mounting fastener may have been tightened outside the factory specification.

The fix is simple: dealers need to check the fastener, loosen it slightly and then torque it to the required 30 Nm. No replacement parts are needed. The bulletin was released on June 25, 2026 and remains in effect until July 31, 2028.

Importantly, this is not a mass recall covering every Bolt 2027. The document deals with cars in dealer inventory and with customer vehicles. If an affected EV is sitting at a dealership, it has to be inspected and repaired before it can be sold, handed over to a customer, auctioned or used as a demo car.

The Bolt 2027 itself marks the return of Chevrolet’s compact EV after a break. The model gains an updated interior, faster DC charging at over 150 kW and more than 20 standard safety and driver-assistance systems.

General Motors’ internal campaign number is N262560510. Dealers identify the affected cars through the Investigate Vehicle History (IVH) system. This is a service update rather than an NHTSA recall: there is no separate regulator number and no mass owner-notification mailing here — the check is carried out on inventory cars and on customer vehicles that come back to the dealer for any reason.
