So, if I understand you correctly, You're saying that the early engines had a certain percentage of failures (just to pick a round number, lets say 5%). And then the last couple of years had an update that drastically reduced their chances of failure (lets say 1% or maybe .5%). Then I think we can all agree that as of 2009, there's 0% chance since there is no IMS.
