That's one of those subject to opinion type things. The actual failure rate isn't that high (my subjective opinion) though it does happen. In my opinion it has been blown out of proportion by internet forums. I've had five M96 equipped cars, all with original IMS and RMS. No leaks, no issues. The guaranteed fix is to install the LN Engineering improved bearing that sells for $649 and is doable (engine out) by a good DIY mechanic.
