What we see here is quite typical of a Western modern industry.
I myself worked 10 years in snow chain production, we were far from happy when the company started thinking more and more on production volume & profit, and less on quality and quality control system, we addressed the problems we had with the production each time a month. This happened for several years to our frustration.
The thing is they were right and we were wrong. It was thanks to the volume and the profit it gave off, which meant that we got the economy to buy up the competitor one by one, and we ended up with monopoly in Norway, in fact they are by date one of the world's biggest players in the area.
Did we have many waranty cases? I promise you that we had, but such things were already calculated.
Clearly, it's not good that Husqvarna is so sloppy with the control of the end product, the most important thing is that they deliver and provide good service with the waranty cases, in Norway they have been very round to deliver out a new saw to the unlucky customer.
My dealer told me that the profit Husky had on a pro saw now was 25% higher then the 3xx serie, if so I guess the ammount waranty cases is well calculated.
