1. A method for maintaining a component on a vehicle, comprising:
- reading component maintenance information from an automated identification technology tag on the vehicle, wherein the automated identification technology tag is associated with an interior component on the vehicle;
determining a remaining portion of a maintenance period for the interior component using the component maintenance information;
displaying an indication of the remaining portion of the maintenance period on a user interface; and
responsive to a determination that the interior component should be moved to a second vehicle, updating information regarding which vehicle the interior component is installed without resetting the maintenance for the interior component.
