IS THIS A LOOP HOLE BY GM CONSIDERING A POSSIBILITY THAT 2008 MODELS MIGHT BE MORE COMMON. I DON'T SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN 07-08 GIVEN SAME PARTS WERE PROBABLY USED AND WHY ONLY AZ IN A ONE YEAR MANUFACTURING DIFFERENCE. I KNOW RECALL CONFRONTATION IS NOT GM'S FORTE.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
