Known issues on the 2013 Volt. Three recalls sit against this year. A driver's air bag inflator can explode as it deploys and throw sharp metal at the people it is meant to protect. A control module update can switch off battery cell balancing, letting voltage sag until the car loses propulsion. And a Volt left switched on can start its engine unattended to recharge, filling a closed space with carbon monoxide. Complaints number 308, with air bags at 155, the electrical system at 54 and the power train at 23.
