If there is no commonalities between these failures, and they are "mostly" happening at lower mileage, then I would gather that it appears to be a quality control issue.
Also, these failures could be the result of multiple sources as well. Not all identical outcomes are from the same sources.
The majority of the low mileage failures could be do to quality control, and then the outliers with high mileage, etc, failed for other reasons and is getting thrown into this same "failure count" kind of like what they did with covid
