I am not arguing this for the sake of argument. You are running around screaming the sky is falling and that every single one of these cars is going to spin a bearing. This is blatantly wrong based on all the facts that are known. I know it happened to you and that sucks but you are part of a very small and exclusive club not the majority. If you want to make broad sweeping statements then back them up with some real data otherwise I will indeed continue to post a counter point.
Yes the engineers can and do screw up. They also have access to the full dataset of failures. If there are enough failures to exceed what they deem acceptable they will make changes. They have not changed the oil supply system of the car. Unless you think that their accepted failure rate is 100% then your continuing assertion that this issue extends beyond a few early production cars is not supportable. It was a manufacturing flaw that a few have to suffer through not an engineering issue.

You are so predictable. I knew you would point out the racing part of that thread. As I said, there are planting of cars that can handle casual track days without extensive oiling mods. It’s clear they are at weak at oiling. To think this will not transfer over to aggressive daily driving is crazy.
I never said 100% of them would fail. I said all years will fail because nothing has been changed.
But you are right, there must not be a problem because car manufacturers always make good on flaws. They’ve never been know to keep reusing bad designs.
