I think you're talking about apples and oranges, as parent appeared to be cataloguing recent design defects. Which are pretty common too.

That'll influence the average reliability minimally, unless you were unlucky enough to buy one of those models.

Personally, why I'd rather get something at 120k mileage w/ 250k+ max examples on the road by that calendar date. You'll know whether they designed a lemon.

Add: undersized Tacoma rear leaf springs, multiple manufacturers' head gaskets, a few early aluminum engines (? from memory)
