Even if we say the number is 100 people, the precentage is still .003%. I find it hard to believe that more than 1% of all cars have had to get their DI's replaced by now. The Internet would be blowing up.
Can it happen? Yes, we know it can. Is it likely? No. Should every FR-S and BRZ owner be worried everytime they drive their car that the engine will blow up? No.
I understand you are obsessed with this issue. I applaud those that are working to get this issue researched and fixed. I truly feel for those that have had DI failures and can only imagine how frustrating it is. But let's please try to use commonsense and stop the doom-mongering. It is not helping anyone.

While I agree that the majority of owners won't have a problem, I am concerned about those that track their cars. Of those 30k sold, how many have been tracked consistently? Probably only a few hundred at the very most. Of those, how many have DI failures? Would be a interesting stat to know. I personally know of someone who tracked the car only 6 times and then sustained a DI failure.
