In the three months ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an accrual of $1.1 billion, which represents our current estimate of the expected costs of complying with the recall related to the Takata passenger-side inflators in certain GMT900 vehicles, which are full-size pickup trucks and SUVs. This accrual is reflected in Warranties issued and assumed in period – recall campaigns in the table above. Refer to Note 16 for additional information on Takata matters.
