How this compares

Each register is compared on its own with the 60 models we publish an EU recall page for; the registers are never combined into one score. Its 5 EU Safety Gate campaigns are fewer than the median of 17 for this set. Its 6 KBA campaigns are fewer than the median of 34. Its RDW open-recall share is fewer than the 5.7% median.

Counts across sources are not comparable to each other and are never summed: a Safety Gate alert and a KBA campaign can describe the same defect or different ones. Treat each as one advisory pointer.
