There were twelve models affected by the CRT problem. The problem was manifested on every example of those twelve models. I don't know how many Sony made of each model, but there were many thousands for sure. The problem occurred on all of them; therefore the percentage was 100%. The Sony-authorized technician who replaced the CRTs in my set told me that he had personally repaired more than 100 sets.

Since Sony made many other television models in addition to those 12 CRT RPTV models, and only the CRT RPTV models had the problem, they could plausibly claim that the problem was limited to "a very small percentage of sets." Classic weasel-wording.
