Within the table for our product warranty reserves in Note 5, Commitments and Contingencies, contained in our Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2009, "Warranties issued during the period" should have been $196 million (previously disclosed as $181 million) and "Settlements made during the period" should have been $228 million (previously disclosed as $213 million). Such changes do not impact either the "Total" in the table for our product warranty reserves or any other number in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2009. For the convenience of the reader, we have provided below the revised warranty reserves disclosure in its entirety as contained within Note 5, Commitments and Contingencies, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on July 22, 2009.
