1. What is a warranty claim?
When something under warranty breaks, a claim comes in to pay for the repair. From a big dealer network, each claim arrives as six pieces of evidence: the claim form and job card, the damage photos, the parts invoice, the part identified as faulty, the vehicle's ID and service history, and an internal approval.
When all six tell the same story, the claim is genuine. When they don't, someone is paid for damage that didn't happen, or that wasn't the maker's to cover. Today every claim lands on one adjudicator's desk, and one person can't check them all, so most get approved.
