Which manufacturers - if any - are not having issues with DPFs?

None. No diesel vehicle with a DPF is suitable for repeated short runs from cold starts. And all inevitably fill their DPFs up with ash (from around 80k miles). Even AdBlue doesn't help because AdBlue heaters are now regularly failing at around 40k miles.
