Dave Rogers and Steve Shaw expose what they're calling The Pseudo Warranty Conspiracy: a 25-year, quiet financial shift by automotive manufacturers that transferred billions in warranty cost off OEM books and onto dealers (via reinsurance liability) and customers (via repair bills). The mechanism: extending service intervals so that wear-and-tear failures fall outside warranty coverage, while vehicles also fail sooner. The episode connects warranty cost, planned obsolescence, used car mechanical liability, and dealer reinsurance plans into one unified financial picture.
