They aren't on the hook for anything - those costs are billed to you in the standard lease so you're paying the cost of the vehicle, plus the cost of the expected maintenance, plus a profit for the bank.

Expected repairs and actual repairs are very different. The expected repairs are exactly that, expected. I know what they are up front. There’s value in that predictability.

Trust me, no bank is leasing assets at a loss.
