Which model years to check twice
Complaints per production run, so a year that simply sold more does not top the list.
| Year | Per run | Complaints | Runs | Crashes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 3 | 3 | — | |
| 2024 | 73 | 52 | 6 | |
| 2023 | 262 | 37 | 9 | |
| 2022 | 141 | 29 | 8 |
Heaviest year here is 2023 at 7.1 complaints per run; lightest is 2026 at 1. The 2026 line is still collecting reports, so it reads low.
