Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

There has been no accident yet but this is a safety hazard. My vehicle is under 100,000 miles and the part should be replaced by the dealership. The rear cross traffic assistance sensor may be damaged. It just stopped working this week.
