I would be willing to bet that this single factor outweighs all the RTV issues as well all others combined. Factory defect rates on this car are in line with all modern car manufacturers, and forums tend to not be representative of overall market figures.

I disagree. As someone who runs around with groups of other twin owners who track, autoX, do TT/TA. Never seen an FA blow from a money shift. I've done it twice, both times hard enough to spin the car.
I'd say it is poor maintenance.
