I'm just wondering where the failure rate statistics are found? I have seen a lot of numbers thrown around, in regard to IMS failures, and they all seem like here-say.

Regardless of the actual numbers though, this is a well-documented shortcoming of these motors. And given the motor replacement cost, it almost seems like a no-brainer, to have this bearing upgraded, when it is either convenient or financially feasible, unless you are the gambling type.
