Electrical System: complaints and recalls by model

A complaint can name more than one component. Each component that a complaint names is one component mention. The figure per 1,000 component mentions shows how many of each 1,000 mentions name the component.

For all vehicles in the file, the figure for Electrical System is 111.1 per 1,000 component mentions. The NHTSA files have no sales figures. A model line with more vehicles on the road gets more complaints.

Complaint: A report about a possible safety problem that a person sends to NHTSA. This site shows the number of complaints and not their text.

Component: The part or the system that a complaint or a recall campaign names. NHTSA has a fixed list of component names.
