Totals cover every model year in the database, so a nameplate sold for thirty years will out-count one sold for five regardless of how either held up. Open a model to see the years side by side, where that difference disappears.
About this list
Only models carrying at least one complaint, recall or investigation are listed. A Volkswagen model that appears in NHTSA's vehicle catalogue but has nothing filed against it has no report to show.
