New bearings? You mean they now include VAC coated bearings with the kits?

Is there a design flaw? Maybe, but to actually have proof legally of that probably requires showing that many non-modified cars have had failures and it doesn't seem that is the case so far, or paying huge fees to an appropriately qualified experts with engineering backgrounds to perform the research and testify to this, which for one individual, wouldn't be anywhere near cost effective since that would cost way more than a new engine. |

Point taken. I'm assuming these rod bearing threads/registries involve mostly blown engines. Will be very interesting to see if OP gets covered or not in this situation.

Nah, when production ends they just take the spare motors in inventory and melt them down. No need to keep any around.

Yeah, I'm sure they keep a few around, but how many? I'm sure they got an algorithm or a formula to keep a certain number based on how many they've sold. I'm not in the car making business, so I don't know. Maybe someone with better understanding could enlighten me and the forum.

I believe that there are gov't regulations stating how long a car company is required to keep making parts for a certain model. 10 yrs.? Also don't forget about rebuilt motors. There is usually a good supply of perfectly good blocks and heads available as time goes by. All engine don't explode, some just wear out and get rebuilt.
