expired warranty


Explanation:
I would tend to use warranty here:
"a usually written guarantee of the integrity of a product and of the maker's responsibility for the repair or replacement of defective parts"

  -> One tiny point: charges is marginally better than fees. Professionals charge fees, artisans (plumbers, mechanics, banks) make charges.
