The theta 2 is installed in millions. It the failure rate was even close to 20% within 30k miles dealers would be overwhelmed.

It may it be as well designed and that is responsible for some failures when combined with poor maintenance. I think the manufacturing issues bumped it to a percentage that is noticeable.

However. It can't be a significant amount because it would collapse the dealer network
