It’s a bad design. In 2017 they finally released a TSB that covers 2013-2016 with a new part. Basically they revised the bearing for the 2017 car and now they suggest you use the 2017 bearing in all years. Too soon to know if this new bearing really has improved though.

New part:
SU003-07349

Edit: I updated the link because I realized I posted the link to the old part rather than the new part stated in the TSB.
