Tiptronic and IMS Failure

Whoa Trigger...

10% failure?? where are those numbers?
My understanding after sifting through all the crap is a failure rate much lower than that, some claim around 1-2% others as high as 10%

There is SO MUCH misinformation on this subject that no one really knows the facts

here is a really good article on the IMSB issue. Now bear in mind, it was written by LN, so they do have a vested interest in bearings being replaced.

The data is right out of the class action lawsuit. 1-2% for dual rows, 8-10% for single rows.
