Failure mode occurrence Rating, O Frequency Probability

Remote: failure is unlikely
Low: relatively few failures
Moderate: occasional

Very minor
noticed by discriminating customers (less than 25%)
2
Fit and finish/squeak and rattle item does not conform. Defect
Minor
noticed by 50% of customers
3
Fit and finish/squeak and rattle item does not conform. Defect
Very low
noticed by most customers (grater than 75%)
4
Vehicle/item operable but comfort/convenience item(s) operable at a
Low
reduced level of performance. Customer somewhat dissatisfied.
5
Vehicle/item operable but comfort/convenience item(s) inoperable.
Moderate
Customer dissatisfied.
6
Vehicle/item operable but a reduced level of performance. Customer
High
very dissatisfied.
7
Very high Vehicle/item inoperable (loss of primary function). 8
