Porsche redesigned the IMS for the new M97 engine (some late M96 engines also have the new design) which hit the streets at about that time. The new design is much more reliable but not infallible. There are substantially fewer failures for the new design based on murky figures (only Porsche knows the exact numbers). Something like 10% failure for the 2001-2005 IMS and 1% for the 2006-2008 IMS. So 2006 and newer were not part of the class action suit. Depending on the build date, a 2005 Boxster could have the old or new design. 2006 was all new.
