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 | 177 | 22 | 23 |
Heaviest year here is 2024 at 8 complaints per run; lightest is 2024 at 8. The 2024 line is still collecting reports, so it reads low.
