Read coverage & conditions01 / Owner-reported evidence
Categories attached to 833 distinct reports. A report can mention more than one component, so category totals can overlap.
These are reports made to NHTSA, not verified diagnoses. More reports can reflect more vehicles, more time on the road, or greater reporting activity.
The reporting timeline
