What owners report
6 of 12 components, the largest by share, together 54.5% of all mentions. 7,614 reports filed with NHTSA from 1996 to 2025, read through 27 name and year queries against 1 source name. A report can name more than one component, so these 7,614 reports carry 10,730 mentions, 1.41 for each report, and every share below is of those 10,730. 395 more mentions were filed as unknown or other and are excluded from both the rows and the total.
