Any model that came with the M96 engine is at risk, regardless of the year, miles, or model. Even the OEM “final” upgrade to the bearing design is known to fail. The options remain to “cross your fingers” or drop about $3K to go to the LN design as a preventative (or alternative) to dropping about three times that if it lets go…… It is all a matter of perspective……..
