There are a lot of anecdotes and there are companies pushing fear in order to sell their 'solutions.' The old term "follow the money" applies. Anecdotally, it appears the solutions could have a higher rate of failure than the original bearings. I don't know anyone collecting stats on that.

As you may know, there was a class action suit that smoked out actual statistics on the IMSb failures. I recommend you stick with sources that incorporate those statistics in the dialog.
