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 |

| 2024 | 8 | 7 | — | |
| 2023 | 44 | 26 | 1 |
Heaviest year here is 2023 at 1.7 complaints per run; lightest is 2024 at 1.1. The 2025 line is still collecting reports, so it reads low.
