So, what this tells you is that the cars are very reliable, but that tyre issues cause call outs – but its not measured. If they gave the statistic as the number of call-outs per issue per 1000 cars vs the number for ICE cars you could derive some measure of the risk.
With the meaningless % given in the article you can’t infer anything from the statistic other than it happens.
