I dont remember this yr's Mclaren engine failure... other than that only 2 fails, and the prev yr only 2 as well.
No need to look at completed lap % because crashes and whatever else comes into play.
The only championship-category team on better reliability has been Brawn GP... but that was a 1-off.
Only 2 fails in 2009. 2008 and 07 were very similar...

Although, Ferrari has had several 'issues' not failures, like the clutch on some starts, and the time Alonso blew the engine due to the gear box having an issue. The only real weak-looking car this yr was the Red Bull and it seems by now everything is fine.
It does show just how reliable the major teams have become.

And for example, Mclaren showed the gearbox failure after the crash, which could have been counted as 2, but somehow it shows as just one... but anyway, it 'could' have been caused by the crash. Therefore its not really a reliability issue. I still dont know what is the engine failure Mclaren reported this yr.
