Model-year reading

What the 2025 record can and cannot say

The 2025 record contains 28 submitted complaints, 69 below the median year in this model file. Report volume is not a failure probability because vehicle age and sales exposure differ.

Electrical System leads the displayed component tags with 8 reports, accounting for 28.6% of this year's submitted complaints. Use that signal to inspect coverage wording, not to predict the next repair.

EV traction battery replacement has a midpoint parts estimate of $13,000, before local labor. A service contract only changes that exposure when the part and cause of failure both qualify.
