Note 10. Warranties

Selected components (such as engines, transmissions, tires, etc.) included in the Company’s products may include warranties from original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”). These OEM warranties are passed on to the end customer of the Company’s products, and the customer deals directly with the applicable OEM for any issues encountered on those components.
