If I think about it, there must be 20 - 30 electric motors within a 40 meter radius of my desk at work. Probably 60 within 100 meter radius. Most of them are bolted to hydraulic pumps, cranes, or CNC machine drive mechanisms. Can't say I've ever seen an electric motor fail in the 20 years I've been working in metal fabrication.
But I didn't write any of that comment, it's quoted directly from an industry observer.
Just recently we've learned of faulty airbags in vehicles going back ~17 years, occasionally killing the driver.[1]
We can't point at a thing and say "well, it's full of parts that ought to be reliable, so it'll be reliable."

Only time will tell.
