Linkage ball joint dust cover insecure on the Toyota Auris

Is this unusual for this model?
| Compared with | What it says |
|---|---|
| Every car in the data | 0.6% of tests record it — this model is 2.0× that share |
| The 233 models compared | 49 of 233, highest first |
| The model's own record | 533,896 tests · every year of the Auris → |
A share of tests is not a probability for your car: it counts every Toyota Auris tested, whatever its mileage, service history and use. The like-for-like comparison on the model page is the fairer number.
