Failure Analysis

Our experts investigate the scope and implication of field failures. Does it warrant a recall? Was it a one-off concern? Was it a user misuse or abuse? How likely is it to happen again?

Failure Analysis

Learning From Failure

When accidents and failures happen, we can help identify detailed, actionable answers for what went wrong. From the dynamic behavior of vehicles to technical issues to component inspections, we study all aspects of any discovered issues and communicate them clearly so you can make the best decisions for correcting them.
