Malfunction reports run above the device-type norm
Motor carries 91.2% MALFUNCTION-coded reports, 26.3pp above the 1,000-device-type mean, the widest gap of its three event codes. Codes are report labels, not adjudicated causation.
- DEATH 0.1% corpus 1.5% · below corpus mean (-1.4 pp)
- INJ 5.8% corpus 30.3% · below corpus mean (-24.5 pp)
- MALF 91.2% corpus 64.8% · above corpus mean (+26.3 pp)
Lead product-problem code Heat is 16% of coded problems · Lead manufacturer STRYKER INSTRUMENTS KALAMAZOO accounts for 61% of manufacturer-tagged reports · Top event location is 81% of location-tagged rows .
