Piston Automotive: 2.8 TCR = 53% of Brake and brake parts, automotive, truck, and bus, manufacturing BLS 5.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Piston Automotive safety composite

Piston Automotive scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 27%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
