How is this worked out?

From NZ owners who told us whether their steering damper is still original or when it was replaced, and from our own rental fleet. Parts still original count as well as replacements, using a Kaplan-Meier survival estimate, so the numbers are not pulled early by only counting failures. A group is published once it has at least 20 Jimnys and 5 replacements.
