I am curious how maintenance and break/fix activities come in to the picture?

Say for example, you build your car with heated seats (assuming it is a non-feature on base model) and you subscribe to heated seats. Upon say Year 7 of ownership (likely 4 because BMW) the heated seats components break and what have you. Are you on the hook for getting it repaired or will the subscription model cover the cost of repairs?
