Which build runs owners report most

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 28 | 20 | 10 | |
| 2024 | 49 | 32 | 4 | |
| 2023 | 458 | 91 | 54 | |
| 2022 | 137 | 52 | 15 | |
| 2021 | 332 | 68 | 28 |
Heaviest year here is 2023 at 5 complaints per run; lightest is 2025 at 1.4. The 2025 line is still collecting reports, so it reads low.
