Ah but there are official figures that Porsche admitted to in settling a lawsuit. The single row bearing ('00-'04.5) was the subject of the lawsuit and the admitted figure was ~1% per car year.
May not be a big thing unless you have to scrap your car, buy a new engine or pay to have the engine completely rebuilt. My two were never a problem, but, if it is yours that does, . . .
Plus the widespread knowledge of this issue has savaged the value of the cars. Everyone who has sold has felt the pain.
