Any part that has "life" or "lifetime" (as relating to useful functionality or warranty) always makes me chuckle....if the part has failed, didn't reach the end of its life? If it's labeled "sealed for life", that just means (to me at least) that it's something that I can't service...or at least not without some creativity and a big hammer..."life" does not quantify some amount of time, could be 10 years or 10 minutes; it most certainly doesn't mean forever.
