Product Warranties Disclosures [Abstract] |
Product Warranty | Product WarrantyThe Company provides warranties on some, but not all, of its products. The warranty terms are typically from one to three years. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claim settlements as well as product manufacturing and industry developments and recoveries from third parties. Management actively studies trends of warranty claims and takes action to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims. Management believes that the warranty accrual is appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, which could require adjustments to the accrual. The following table summarizes the activity in the product warranty accrual accounts:
(in millions) | 2020 |  | 2019
Beginning balance, January 1 | $ | 116 |  |  | $ | 103 |
Provisions for current period sales | 36 |  |  | 36 |
Adjustments of prior estimates | 14 |  |  | 9 |
Payments | (41) |  |  | (43) |
Translation adjustment | 2 |  |  | (4) |
Ending balance, September 30 | $ | 127 |  |  | $ | 101 |
