Are these the same batteries that got their bolt recalled for fire?

No the Bolt is not using the Ultium architecture.

They're not exactly the same, but they are the same form-factor, that being "pouch cells".

Barely anyone is using pouch cells, as they are seen to be inferior for the use-case of cars.

It remains to be seen whether they will have future issues because of this choice.
