Important: Service agents must comply with all
International, Federal, State, Provincial, and/or
Local laws applicable to the activities it performs
under this bulletin, including but not limited to
handling, deploying, preparing, classifying,
packaging, marking, labeling, and shipping
dangerous goods. In the event of a conflict
between the procedures set forth in this bulletin
and the laws that apply to your dealership, you
must follow those applicable laws.
Effective January 1, 2024 (U.S.) and February 15,
2024 (Canada), GM is changing part of the process for
Lithium-Ion battery packs and modules (sections and
kits) used for warranty and recall repairs. Rather than
dealers exchanging battery packs/modules with no
upfront cost and receiving an administrative allowance
upon job completion, dealers will now order and pay
for battery packs/modules upfront and receive their
approved parts markup based on the Dealer price that
will now be published in GM’s Electronic Parts Catalog
(EPC) upon submission of a claim in accordance with
GM’s Service Policies & Procedure Manual.
This enhanced structure will help further customer EV
adoption by making repairs for battery packs/modules
affordable for customers in the event a retail repair is
required. The availability of affordable EV repairs will
also help drive these customers back to GM dealerships for their service needs.

New Interim Additional Labor Compensation
To respond to concerns raised that dealerships are
learning new technology and new processes related to
the continued EV transition, including developing
efficient repair, safety, return, and other associated
processes, GM will provide dealers with the ability to
claim up to $500 ($624 in Canada) in additional labor
on all job cards for battery pack/module replacements. This Interim Additional Labor Compensation is
intended to be phased out over time and will be reevaluated after June 30, 2024. During this acclimation
period, dealers are encouraged to take advantage of
the job time study amendment process to provide
feedback if tasks are consistently taking longer than
the times listed in GM's time guide.
Ordering
The logistics behind the Lithium-Ion exchange program
will remain in place: dealers will still order the subject
Lithium-Ion battery packs and modules through GM’s
authorized Battery Service Centers (BSCs), all orders
must be for an existing VIN requiring service, and
these orders must still be pre-approved through the
GM Technical Assistance Center (TAC). Once
approved through TAC, contact the following for part
exchange:
• U.S Dealers (Ultium Vehicles): Contact Label
Master via Global Connect, EV High Voltage
Battery Orders & Returns, Label Master Portal or
1-844-931-4966.

• U.S. Dealers (Non-Ultium Vehicles): Contact
Speirs New Technologies via Global Connect, EV
High Voltage Battery Orders & Returns, SNT
ALFRED portal or (833) 334-6272.
• Canada Dealers: Contact York Electronic at (888)
650-9675. York Electronics is the GM authorized
Battery Service Center (BSC) in Canada.
The Battery Service Center (BSC) will notify GM of the
order which will generate an invoice to the dealer for
the cost of the Lithium-Ion battery or module based on
current catalog pricing.
