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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 125 | 67 | 12 | |
| 2021 | 333 | 88 | 12 |
Heaviest year here is 2021 at 3.8 complaints per run; lightest is 2022 at 1.9. The 2022 line is still collecting reports, so it reads low.
