Much of the issue is hysteria. But on the other hand simple mechanical engineering logic will tell you that all sealed bearings need to be replaced within some interval. The mere fact that Porsche settled this case when they could have easily written a check for whatever amount a jury may have awarded, in the uncertain event of a plaintiff's victory, tells you they were more concerned with the discovery of documents and worse, expert discovery, leaking out. In other words there are likely to be estimates of the number of cars that Porsche believed could go down if all those single row bearings stayed in indefinitely. Estimates I'm betting would have been revised up since there are multiple owners In most cases which inherently leads to inconsistent maintenance.
