Exploring New Impacts On Claims And Warranty Accruals
Warranty Week will present their 2025 Global Auto Warranty Report, detailing US dollar totals and averages for claims, accruals, and reserves. The report also highlights average warranty costs per vehicle and regional market shares across North America, Europe, China, Japan, Korea, India, and beyond. Data is drawn primarily from manufacturers’ annual reports, supplemented with estimates for non-reporters.
Following the presentation, we will discuss current and emerging trends influencing claims and warranty accruals such as new emission regulations, BEV versus ICE, high–dollar replacement parts, etc.
