The first cars to suffer IMS failures were daily drivers still under warranty.

Well we just pulled a dual row IMS out of a 2001 986, one owner car with just under 11,000 miles on it, or about 700 miles a year. The bearing (balls, races, and cages) was absolutely pristine and without any signs of pitting or other wear, after being basically parked for 16 years. And this is only one of dozens we have seen this way.

Sorry, but there is a problem with your theory............

IMS failure is much more complicated that just having one simple cause.
