Studies have shown that they will spontaneously combust, with little or no warning at all. This usually happens right after the owner forks over heavy money to get his IMS bearing upgraded.
Porsche consoles owners by assuring them that it could have been worse. It could have been the dreaded "D-chunk" failure. Then they are advised to purchase a Certificate of Authenticity for their ex-Porsche for historic provenance.
