I guess IMS failure could be compared to chain tensioner failure on the early cars. Some did, some didn't. You just never knew when it was coming and had about the same disastrous results. Thankfully, oil fed tensioners solved that problem. If IMS failure is so common why wasn't Porsche issued a re-call or at least developed a retro-fit fix?
