    It's identical to the Ro3 Dodge Grand Caravan recall. My year, make, and model were recalled for this issue, but Dodge says my vin falls out the production window. However, parts from the exact same vendor (Continental) that suffer from the same weak internal detents were often installed in vehicles…

2010 Dodge Grand Caravan mileage at failure

600 of the 870 complaints on file for the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
Electrical SystemMedian 90,000 milesMiddle half 60,000–115,000 milesBased on 331 complaints
EngineMedian 80,000 milesMiddle half 50,000–115,000 milesBased on 138 complaints
Air BagsMedian 70,000 milesMiddle half 55,000–95,000 milesBased on 36 complaints
Service BrakesMedian 45,000 milesMiddle half 20,000–80,000 milesBased on 79 complaints
SteeringMedian 85,000 milesMiddle half 55,000–130,000 milesBased on 55 complaints

A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.

Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.

These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.

Most complaints NHTSA received since May 17, 2021 give no mileage. So that they aren't undercounted, each one received since then that gives a mileage also stands in for those that gave none, which can put a component's median above most of the mileages it is based on.
