There's probably more to this story ..... and to be clear, I don't have inside knowledge about this particular issue/relationship BUT
I do know that sometimes manufacturers pay a flat rate for warranty to the local warranty service provider/retailer.
Often there are disputes with how much they are liable for, what they expect to get paid and/or a disconnect between what the retailer/servicer is billing for versus what the manufacturer wants to pay.
Interesting nonetheless
