Porsche 'redesigned' the IMS in 2001. The post-01 986's with the redesigned IMS are the ones that the IMS issue is primarily concerned with, and tend to have a higher failure rate than what would be considered normal (lots of debate about the percentages, and lots of threads on this as well). Pre-01 986's can experience IMS failure, but it is about as common as with any other car, so not that common. However, a lot of the companies selling IMS retrofits tend to ignore the pre/post 2001 differences for obvious reasons.
