There was some discussion on this point a while back, but I cannot pinpoint the exact thread now. From a numerical standpoint, there were more single row engines (2001-2005) produced than dual rows (1997-2000), and the single rows were (from from Porshce's original litigation data) much more prone to failure than the dual rows, so it is a reasonable assumption. Unfortunately, once the litigation was settled, there has not been detailed additional hard data released, only occasional "snippets". With the legal action over, and all of the potential cars long out of warranty, the final numbers will probably never be known.
