How Wyoming compares to the national picture

Wyoming sits #51 of 51 jurisdictions on owner-attributed ODI volume (THIN; 0 jurisdictions file fewer). Absolute counts track population and reporting culture more than per-vehicle defect rates, pair Wyoming's FLAG crash-flag share (5.4%) with model-level national rankings before treating a local leaderboard as a reliability verdict. Inside this extract the FORD F-150 leads Wyoming volume; check whether that nameplate's local share exceeds its national share before calling a regional pattern.

A note on self-reported state data

The state field on each NHTSA complaint is supplied by the consumer at filing, there is no mandatory check that the owner filed from their registration state, nor that the incident occurred in Wyoming. A a Wyoming resident reporting a purchase made elsewhere still tags here; a visitor who filed from another home state will not. NHTSA does not deduplicate by VIN across years, so multi-year filings from the same vehicle accumulate. Treat Wyoming's THIN ranking as directional and open the model pages linked above.
