We continue to monitor warranty and other claims associated with these products and believe as of March 31, 2019 that the reserves associated with these matters are adequate. However, it is possible that additional changes may be required in the future.
The current portion of the warranty reserve is included in the caption “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and the long-term portion is included in Other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
