Anyway...I was just trying to be reassuring...I don't want to start yet another argument about it.
Thanks for the reassurance! Since so many of the failures happen at such a relatively low mileage, it does give those of us approaching 100k some confidence that we don't necessarily have a "ticking time bomb" under our right foot.

I may still proactively change out my bearings at some point in the future, but I'm definitely doing the wait-and-see approach at this point. The more people who have them swapped out and share the condition of theirs, and any additional failures going forward should all add necessary data to determine the true cause and best course of action to ensure the long-term longevity of our engines.
