Red face LN Engineering Intermediate Shaft Bearing failure

I just had my 60k mile service completed and replaced the Intermediate Shaft Bearing with the LN Engineering IMS replacement. The shop I go to specializes on exotics and has worked on my Porsche, Lotus and Lambo for years. The IMS bearing lasted just under 400 miles before it failed. The failure caused the timing to jump with them resulting valve and engine damage. LN claims the shops did not install it correctly and only replaces the bearing. I can't imagine the shop installed it incorrectly. It obviously was an early-hour failure due to a manufacturing defect. I see LN has a new design. I'm now waiting for my shop to find an engine while LN refuses to admit their product could have failed. I read the warranty and understand they only warrant the IMS bearing but be real. I'm an engineer and race car driver. I know mechanic and manufacturing failures. Step up and stand by your product.
