| Commentary | Uses the concept us-gaap:DeferredRevenue to report extended product warranty. Uses correct concept for standard warranty. Uses concept us-gaap:ProductWarrantyAccrualNoncurrent as part of other noncurrent liabilities, which is the sum of standard and extended warranties. But the number does not tie to other product liability disclosures, seems like it should. |
