h. Permanent marker for writing on applicable labels/markings.
i. Dust mask is not required but recommended in working with perlite as it can become dusty
when pouring into drum.
4. Packaging of DDR battery module; (1) battery module per each plastic bag:
a. First inspect each individual battery module to ensure it is safe/stable to ship, having no
evidence of physical damage or potential issues that could cause a short circuit, evolution of
heat, or fire.
IT Asset Partners, Inc.
8966 Mason Avenue Chatsworth, CA 91311
PH: 323-685-ITAP (4827)
www.GoITAP.com
b. Ensure terminals are thoroughly covered with proprietary cover & electrically non-conductive
tape to ensure no portion of terminals are exposed. SEE PHOTO 4b. #1 & #2.
c. With electrically non-conductive tape, tape any cable leads that may be extending from the
battery module. Attach cable to module with tie wrap/zip tie, like new module. If the plastic
cable end is intentionally “pinched”, it could create a short circuit. Then cut off the excess
length of tie wrap/zip tie. SEE PHOTOS 4c #1 – #3.
5. Drum preparation for battery module placement:
a. First remove stretch wrap; then inspect drums/pallet to ensure there is no sign of damage that
impairs integrity. Some pallet(s) may have more wear than others – not considered damaged. In
the case there was damage created on delivery shipment, take photos and email to ITAP at the
designated email address. ITAP team will follow up & advise next steps.
b. When there are (7) – (9) drums per pallet, there will be a non-accessible drum at the center of
pallet. Select the single drum on the perimeter that when removed allows the best access to the
closure mechanism of the center drum. The selected drum will need to be temporarily removed
off the pallet in order to perform/complete process on center drum first. Once the center drum
is processed through section 9.e, the displaced drum can be replaced on the pallet at its original
position.
c. If applicable, select center drum first; using wrench, unscrew closure mechanism & remove lid
from drum.
d. Remove labels/markings found inside drum & place in safe location for use after packaging &
drum closure is completed.
e. Remove empty plastic bag from drum & place on a platform where the battery module can
safely be handled/inserted into bag.
6. Place & seal battery module into empty plastic bag:
a. Lay the battery module vertically with cable lead side facing upward. Do not lay module where
cable lead side is at the bottom bearing weight of module – there shouldn’t be any unnecessary
weight on this component that could cause damage to cable lead as mentioned in section 4.c.
SEE PHOTO 6a. (Actual module in photos is not part of this project – only an example. Module
in photos do not have a cable lead)
b. Place plastic bag over the battery module & pull bag down completely to base of module where
there is no excess bag room on top side of module.
c. Then carefully lay module horizontally with its plastic cover/terminals facing upward – never lay
battery module on plastic/terminal side facing down bearing module weight.
d. Then lift horizontally laying module on the open side of the bag sufficient to pull bag so module
is inserted completely, providing ample bag length to close and seal bagged battery module.
e. In its current horizontal position, proceed to closing/sealing bag. If using tape to seal bag, fold
the battery bag where the there is no longer an opening, and excess air has been removed from
bag. Then tape it thoroughly so that it is sealed. If using a zip tie, place the zip tie at the center
point of the excess portion of the bag opening to not stretch/rip bag, remove excess air from
bag, & then zip tie the bag closed. Keep battery module laying horizontally.
SEE PHOTO 6e. (Module in photo does not include a cable lead. This photo is only an example
of a closed/sealed bag. THE PROCESS OF CLOSING/SEALING MODULE NEEDS TO BE
PERFORMED WHILE LAYING HORIZONTALLY AS DESCRIBED ABOVE).

PH: 323-685-ITAP (4827)
www.GoITAP.com
7. Placing (1) bagged/sealed battery module per each drum:
a. Remove bag of perlite from selected drum & place on the floor temporarily.
b. Then with the cable lead end of the module facing upward, place the bagged/sealed battery
module vertically at the center of the drum on the base of loose perlite material, so that cable
lead end of module is on top. With the module properly centered, the space between the
module & inside wall of drum should be ~ 3.5” (no closer than 3”) on one axis, & ~4.5” (no closer
than 4”) on the other; space measurements are based off the center of the drum and the
module per axis. SEE PHOTO 7b. (module in photo does not have a cable lead).
c. Open the bag of perlite & begin gently pouring the perlite material in the space around the
battery module that is between the battery & the inner wall of the drum till you have reached
the height of battery module. SEE PHOTO 7c.
d. During this process, should there be any movement of the bagged battery where it is no longer
at the center of the drum, please repeat this process till the module remains at the center as
described above. Always keep a 5” base of perlite beneath module.
e. Then pour the balance of the perlite material onto the drum, completely filling the drum. SEE
PHOTO 7e.
f. Then fold the empty bag & place on top of open drum for return.
8. Drum closure instructions:
a. Place cover on the drum, making sure that the gasket is in place.
b. Snap the closing ring over the cover & top lip of the drum. Make sure that the ring’s lugs point
down below the ring. Also, make sure the bottom edge of the closing ring engages under the lip
of the drum.
c. Insert the bolt completely through the lug without thread. Then screw the bolt into the
threaded lug.
d. While tightening the bolt, tap the along the entire perimeter of the ring with a mallet, starting
directly across from the bolt.
e. Tighten the bolt with a torque of 60 ft-lbs., leaving a gap of 1/8” to 5/8” on closing ring.
f. The cover & ring should not spin, & the free ends of the ring should not touch.
g. Once the drum has been properly closed, turn the drum back as it was before where bolts are
facing inward on the pallet so as to protect the bolts from any potential damage while being
handled logistically.
9. DRUM LEVEL – Labels/Markings placement instructions (do not apply on rings of drums):
a. With drum’s closure mechanism facing inward, place the below listed labels/markings on the
drum, opposite side of the closure mechanism, facing outward. SEE PHOTO 9.a

11. Palletizing instructions:
a. If pallet was received with any cardboard or other material inserts in between drums, inserts
should be repositioned as received.
b. Inspect pallet & ensure no drums are extending beyond the perimeter of the pallet.
c. Starting at any corner of the pallet, insert shrink wrap through the underside of a corner & pull
out the other perpendicular side of the corner & tie a strong knot. SEE PHOTO 11c.
d. Then start making rounds (5 rounds total) on the pallet itself at the base, wrapping only the
pallet & its corners. This reinforces the stretch wrap with extra layers on the pallet corners to
secure it from ripping when being pulled with relative force on the next 7 rounds for drums. SEE
PHOTO 11d.
e. Once 5 rounds have been completed at the base of the pallet itself, then continue to the
additional (7) rounds on the drums themselves for a total (12) rounds, working your way up to
where the stretch wrap overlaps over the top corner of the drums partially. SEE PHOTO 11.e #1
& #2.
f. When stretch wrapping actual drums, pull with relative force at every turn/corner of the
pallet in order to create enough tension and strength in the wrapping package. Otherwise, the
stretch wrap will be loose & not strong enough for shipping.
g. Once the (12) rounds are complete, cut the stretch wrap and tape the end of the stretch wrap
onto the stretch wrapped pallet.
12. PALLET LEVEL – Labels/Markings placement instructions:
a. Retrieve additional labels/markings found in drums.

e. Shipper/Consignee – before affixing to drum, clearly write & fill in empty spaces with requested
information. Using tape, securely affix onto same side of drum as other labels/markings.
13. Notification to ITAP & shipping documentation:
a. Once all batteries have been packaged, labeled/marked & palletized, notify ITAP via email of the
number of pallets & the number of batteries/drums per pallet.
b. ITAP will confirm receipt of pickup request & begin to arrange logistics.
c. ITAP will send completed BOL & written emergency response information (ERG 147 or SDS) in

IMPORTANTE RETIRADA POR MOTIVOS DE SEGURIDAD
Octubre de 2020
Estimado propietario o arrendatario de un vehículo BMW:
Le enviamos este aviso en virtud de la Ley Nacional de Seguridad de Tránsito y Vehículos (National Traffic and
Motor Vehicle Safety Act). BMW AG ha determinado que algunos vehículos de los modelos 330e, X3 xDrive30e y
X5 xDrive45e de BMW, correspondientes a los años 2020 y 2021, tienen un defecto relacionado con la seguridad
de los vehículos motorizados. Según nuestros registros, usted es propietario de un vehículo que podría estar
afectado.
¿Por qué nos ponemos en contacto con usted?
Aunque quizá ya nos hayamos comunicado con usted por teléfono, queremos hacer un seguimiento por carta para
informarle sobre una retirada por motivos de seguridad en su vehículo. En este momento, no podemos ofrecerle
un repuesto. Le avisaremos en cuanto podamos realizar esta retirada por motivos de seguridad.
¿Qué podría suceder?
Al cargar por completo el vehículo por primera vez, existe la posibilidad de que ocurra un cortocircuito. En algunos
casos, existe la posibilidad de que esto pueda derivar en un incendio. Hasta que realicemos esta retirada, no
cargue por completo su vehículo. Conduzca solamente en elmodo estándar. Si usted no es la única persona
que conduce este vehículo, comparta esta información importante con todos los demás conductores y
pasajeros.
¿Qué hará BMW?
Cuando el repuesto esté disponible, se inspeccionarán los módulos de la batería de alto voltaje y, si es necesario,
se reemplazarán gratis, lo que podría tomar aproximadamente un día.
¿Qué ocurre si no soy el propietario actual de este vehículo?
Si cambió su dirección o vendió el vehículo, nos puede avisar visitando www.bmwusa.com/mybmw o
comunicándose con el Servicio de Atención al Cliente de BMW (BMW Customer Relations) (consulte la información
de contacto en el lado izquierdo de la página). Si usted es arrendador del vehículo, las reglamentaciones
federales exigen que reenvíe este aviso a su arrendatario en un plazo de diez días.
¿Qué debo hacer si tengo más preguntas?
Para leer las últimas actualizaciones sobre esta retirada, visite www.bmwusa.com/recall. Si tiene alguna pregunta
sobre esta retirada, comuníquese con el centro autorizado de BMW. Si necesita asistencia adicional, comuníquese
con el Servicio de Atención al Cliente de BMW.
Si el centro de BMW no puede resolver el defecto sin cargo o en un plazo razonable, puede notificar al administrador
de la Administración Nacional de Seguridad de Tránsito en Carreteras (National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration), 1200 New Jersey Ave., S.E., Washington, DC 20590; llamar a la Línea gratuita directa de seguridad
vehicular (Vehicle Safety Hotline) al 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), o visitar https://www.safercar.gov.

inconveniente. Recomendamos que usted y sus pasajeros usen el cinturón de seguridad en todo momento.
Atentamente.

Subject: BMW High-Voltage Battery – Recall 20V-490 Stop-Sale
Compensation and Recall 20V-601 AMP Subsidy Information
This DCS Broadcast message is being issued regarding Stop-Sale Compensation for vehicles
affected by Recall 20V-490 High-Voltage battery (SI B61 19 20) as well as loaners affected by Recall
20V-601 High-Voltage Battery (SI B61 20 20 and B61 21 20).
Recall 20V-490 High-Voltage Battery
For the vehicles that have received Wholesale Credits due to the failed test plan, Stop-Sale
Compensation cannot be administered through the existing ROSS based Stop-Sale Compensation
system. Therefore, the Warranty Department will be issuing a credit for each of these VINs that have
received the Wholesale Credit. No work will be required on your behalf.
Because the claim will be entered on our side, and not at the dealer (your) level, the credits
will not show up on your claim detail report since they were not entered by you as claim
through DCSnet. However, the credit is the difference between your credit notes report and
your October monthly A/R report.
After November, if you are experiencing complications with identifying the credits, please reach out
to StopSaleCompensation@bmwna.com.
Recall 20V-601 High-Voltage Battery
For the month of October, we will provide AMP subsidy support for the loaner vehicles subject to this
recall.
We recommend retiring any vehicle that will be out of service for more than 30 days and replacing it
with another eligible model.
This subsidy payment for October is intended to provide you with time to diversify your fleet with
other eligible models.
IF your center elects to keep the affected vehicles active in the AMP Fleet:
Effective November 1st, all AMP guidelines and utilization rules for these vehicles will be in
effect.
Uninterrupted subsidy is no longer available beginning November 1, 2020.
IF your center elects to retire an affected vehicle from the AMP Fleet:
Remove the affected unit from AMP and add it to POIS by November 1, 2020.
Removing a vehicle from your loaner fleet on or before November 1st will not impact your
uninterrupted depreciation subsidy for October.
Stop-Sale Compensation eligibility is effective from the POIS entry date – the 30-day grace
period is waived.
Stop-Sale Compensation is calculated based on the number of days active in POIS.
Vehicles entered into POIS later than November 1, 2020 will have Stop-Sale Compensation
pro-rated for November based on the total number of days in POIS.
Retired AMP vehicles cannot be removed from POIS and re-enrolled in the AMP Fleet at a
later date.
Note
Attachments:
When retiring an affected vehicle from the AMP Fleet, these vehicles must be removed from ATMS
first. Once you have completed this step, you may then enter the vehicle into POIS.
If the vehicle is not removed from ATMS first, the vehicle will be blocked from POIS
enrollment.
For AMP related questions, contact BMWAMP@bmwna.com.
