5th Annual State of Automotive Recall and Warranty Summit

The state of recalls in the automotive industry continues to be alarming. OEMs and suppliers paid out nearly $11.8 billion in claims and tallied $10.3 billion in warranty accruals for U.S. recalls in 2016, with the $22.1 billion total estimated to be 26 percent higher than 2015.

The total number of vehicles recalled in the U.S. in 2016 climbed 4.5 percent to 53.1 million from 50.8 million in 2015, making 2016 the highest year ever. Is there an end in the sight?

SAA’s 5^th Annual State of Automotive Recall and Warranty Summit will take a new approach this year and look deeper into the results of these recalls. What is considered insurable? How are these recalls impacting valuations? What are the short-term and long-term legal ramifications? How do recalls impact used car pricing and what have they meant to the repair industry? And much more including gaining insight into best practices for multi-channel recall communications that drive unprecedented results.
