Historically, estimates of warranty commitments have not differed materially from actual results; however, unanticipated product quality issues could result in material changes to estimates in future periods.
Changes in the carrying amount and accrued product warranty costs for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are summarized as follows:

Warranty expense was $7.0 million and $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At June 30, 2013, $9.4 million was included in current liabilities and $1.2 million was included in non-current liabilities. At December 31, 2012, $5.8 million was included in current liabilities and $0.8 million was included in non-current liabilities. Approximately $3.3 million of the increase in the accrual is due to a new warranty claim in India.
