It's been said that the IMS Retrofit is good for well beyond 6 years. I would go by the mileage, and not the age of the bearing in this case. I believe LN put a timeframe on the product, rather than just indicating a mileage lifespan, for liability reasons. I'm no engineer, but I don't see how age can cause the bearing to deteriorate.
