Fewer reports doesn’t settle it.

The dataset has no consistent denominator for vehicles on the road. It also does not adjust for age, distance driven, vehicle popularity or reporting patterns. You cannot calculate a failure rate—or name a “most reliable” year—from these counts alone.

Open each dossier and read the underlying components and campaigns. Manufacturer communications may apply to only certain engines, production dates or configurations. A larger count may simply mean more documentation, not more defects.
