As for the third design oversized bearing, they too fail, just not in as large numbers as the earlier bearings; but they do still fail.

Quote taken directly from the L&N information that I posted above: "Early models used a stronger dual row sealed ball bearing which was replaced starting in model year 2000 with a weaker, sealed single row ball bearing which had a much higher failure rate and was the subject of the Eisen class action lawsuit settled by Porsche."
