The product warranty liability at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Currently, the Company is evaluating claims raised by certain customers with respect to the performance of bearings sold into the wind energy sector. Accruals related to this matter are included in the table above. Management believes that the outcome of these claims will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position; however, the effect of any such outcome may be material to the results of operations of any particular period in which costs in excess of amounts provided, if any, are recognized.
