As Ghostrider so clearly points out, it is easy for companies to put peoples lives on the line for profit. The only time Porsche will stand up and actually deal with the IMS issue is if someone was killed due to the failure of the bearing. Given that that is a remote possibility it will remain one of those nagging issues that comes with the territory of owning one of these cars.

I would fathom a guess that there are those in Porsche that now wish they had dealt with this issues and corrected it long ago...but its like telling a lie...once it gains hold and becomes mainstay there is no turning back.

An absolutely HORRIBLE thought here, but what if lightning DID strike at some
point and someone WAS unfortunate enough to be killed or seriously injured as
a result of this flaw....what a can of worms THAT would open up for Porsche.
