2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV documents a four-door hatchback whose propulsion is entirely electric, sold in Base, LT and Premier form. A book like this is organized around energy rather than combustion: the pack and its modules, the drive unit, on-board charging, the thermal circuits that protect all three, and the isolation procedures that must come first. Conventional chassis and body coverage — brakes, steering, suspension, restraints, panels, glass and wiring — sits behind it in full.

Known issues on the 2019 Bolt EV. Six recalls are on the federal record. One is mechanical and easy to picture: a rear door-handle cable cut too long can rub the window glass, and a cable damaged that way can let the rear door open unintentionally. Two cover a high-voltage battery that can catch fire at or near full charge. Another concerns rear brake caliper pistons whose coating was insufficient, reducing braking performance. Complaints reach 175, with 75 on the electrical system, 45 on steering and 16 on the propulsion system.
