Seems that the P2 stock Cosworth electronics package is causing the teams some issues. Also turns out the Mazda is the only car not using said package, so their issues are all their own!

Per S365:
***A number of Prototype teams have raised continued reliability concerns with their electronics. All cars except for the Mazda RT24-P are powered by the FIA-mandated Cosworth electronics, which has produced numerous glitches, largely in the steering wheel systems.

***One team is understood to even be evaluating a potential post-Daytona systems change, pending IMSA’s approval.

The statement doesn't list specific cars but make it sound widespread. Not sure if it is only impacting the Caddy and Nissan cars, or the base P2's as well. I remember teams having electronics issues at the Roar but can't remember which ones.
