That's my understanding as well. So someone going in for a glitch in their infotainment and someone going in for catastrophic transmission failure would both report 1 problem each.

A good example of this was when the G05 initially came out, it had a lot of iDrive glitches and thus was rated very poorly in reliability by CR despite most of those glitches being relatively minor. A year and a few software updates later the glitches were mostly ironed out and the reliability rating improved drastically.
