Add to that the fact that the IMS bearing was not in the circulating oil system. What kind of permanently sealed bearing can live in that environment plastic or no? Also, it's never been shown what the actual percentage of failures are, just that enough have failed to warrant a law suit. Well, if 2 thousand Ford trucks had catastrophic failures out of any year's total production (hundreds of 1000's), that would be too many.
It was a bad design.
BTW, in certain shop conditions primer flashed cold and drew water in.
