An incident naming several systems is counted under each. “Fire” and “Other” are categories in the rule, not systems.

Every one of these, dated and numbered

The defect dossier for the Chevrolet Cruze puts each report beside the recalls, investigations, bulletins and owner complaints on the same system, as a PDF and two CSVs: the Chevrolet Cruze, one system, every model year, numbered as exhibits.
