The recent data on the Transition into Serious Delinquency (90+) for Auto Loans by Age may appear to some as a yellow flag in the economy.

Typically, such increases in delinquency rates can suggest underlying financial stress among borrowers, which could be symptomatic of wider economic challenges.
