Do you consider this to be a largely preventable mode of failure?

One more question, have you seen enough 05-08 IMS failures to believe that those bearings are only likely to stay in an optimal state for xx,xxx miles? Or do you think proper maintenance alone can ward off the need to split open the engine to service the ims?
