The real issue is getting votes for a meaningful sample.

That said, I do find it interesting that 10 of the 23 failures (almost half) thus far are from 2018 Model Year Vehicles. I wonder if that trend will continue with more votes.

Likewise, 2014-2015 is #2 with 8 failures.

2 for MY 2016 and 3 for MY 2017.

I would have bet that the numbers would rise proportionally from the older years forward.

It will be interesting to look at that trend as it’s all statistically unreliable at this point with 215 votes.
The fact that there are more 2018 cars in the polls could be recency bias, where folks who just got their cars are more active in the forums. I don't have anything to back that up but I'd imagine that over time people's interest in the forums will wane and some may move on to other cars after 2+ years.
