Manufacturer platform statistics

CATERPILLAR truck models

VIN-resolved CATERPILLAR model coverage, observed fleets, level-scoped roadside OOS outcomes and the BASIC categories most often recorded on attributable inspections.

Interpretation guardrail

These roadside results reflect operators' maintenance and duty cycle as much as the vehicle. They are not evidence of a manufacturer defect. OOS rates and failure frequencies are normalized per inspection, never presented as a raw count pretending to be a rate.

Violation detail is as of Jun 16, 2026; it is not current. A missing platform or cab label means “not established,” never “no.”

Observed platform footprint

Unit volume covers resolved inspection records; fleet totals deduplicate USDOT operators at this manufacturer grain.

Reported trucks sum FMCSA truck_units across distinct observed fleets after the existing plausibility clamp. It is fleet context, not a count of this manufacturer's vehicles, and it never uses power_units or MCS-150 mileage.

Level-scoped OOS outcomes

1,265 inspections had exactly one resolvable power unit and form the attribution population.

Vehicle OOS rate34.3%

Driver OOS rate5.8%
vs 6.67% national · 72 of 1,252 level 1/2/3/6 inspections
