It started in 1999 (1998 in Europe) with the IMS bearing. It's was the 911 and Boxster. Excludes all turbo and GT cars. They did not have an IMS bearing.
I owned a 99 911 996 C4. I miss that car should have never sold it. 150k miles zero issues.
The problem was if the bearing failed it...
I think it's due more to the heat and vibration and low quality part from Mexico. The hose keeps breaking at the same spot. On the bend by the weld. This hose run right along and close to the engine. This car's engine puts out a lot heat and vibration.

I agree but no one seems to be able to figure it out. The two mechanics that I allow to work on my car each have 35 years of experience. Even the mothership Ford has no answers. Idk anymore

Also there are rubber connectors on the end of the hoses so...
Well it's official.... The HP hose cracked again. In the same place as the others HP hoses. On the bend going into the weld at the connection.
Also, as a bonus, when I went to back the car out of the mechanic's bay to leave. The car would not start. The clutch sensor failed. 🤬
The two...
They get get big so fast. The thing I like about my Wheaton is they do keep a lot of how they were as a puppy. Willo still gets the zoomers at 11 years old. It's so funny.
