Who is this raby guy or shop?

If it wasn't a problem Porsche wouldn't have settled. They would have moved for dismissal and told everyone to pound sand. If they weren't confident of getting the case tossed it was because there were bad documents that would have supported the plaintiffs opposition to the dismissal. Litigation costs of trying the case are insignificant given that this isn't a case involving millions of cars like a Toyota or GM car. So no its not just fear, the issue is nothing more than logic. A sealed bearing within an engine is prone to oil starvation or oil contamination depending on driving and maintenance practices. And no sealed bearing lasts forever, it needs to be replaced at some interval, sooner if those prior practices are unknown to the new owner or if they were in fact detrimental to bearing longevity.
