Warranty reaches the executive agenda when costs rise. What would it take to get it there earlier, for the insight it can provide? Marijo Prodanic, Director, Warranty Operations & Technical Assistance at Kia America, speaks with Cimone Jae for MAPconnected about looking beyond warranty compliance and cost. Claims can reveal how service operations work, where customers experience friction and which information needs to reach product and quality teams. The question is whether that knowledge changes a decision. Watch Marijo’s perspective, then bring your questions to the Service & Warranty Lifecycle Summit, where industry peers will debate the issues, compare approaches and explore best practices together.

60 jobs an hour. Two shifts. Around 960 vehicles a day. When a problem goes unresolved, another day of production can mean hundreds more vehicles affected. How quickly can warranty information reach the people who can act on it? In the first of four conversations with MAPconnected founder Pam Walter, Tim Turvey, Former Global Vice President of Customer Care & Aftersales at General Motors, explains why faster information matters. The question isn’t how much warranty data you collect. It’s how quickly you can act on it. Read the full Tim Turvey interview at MAPconnected.com.

What happens when a vehicle changes through software without ever entering a service bay? In this excerpt from the 2025 Service & Warranty Lifecycle Summit, Jose Clemente of General Motors discusses the relationship between EV warranty decisions and software updates. Software can alter vehicle performance, correct a condition and reshape the customer experience. Warranty and service teams must still determine what changed, how it should be documented and where responsibility sits.
