Some owners report problems earlier; some make it well past 150,000 miles symptom-free. Maintenance habits
and driving conditions shift the curve as much as mileage alone.
Engine failure increases the risk of a crash. A bearing failure may cause a breach in the engine block, allowing hot oil to be discharged, increasing the risk of an engine fire.

Is there a fix? Manufacturer service bulletins

(it's not a free safety remedy), but it's the manufacturer acknowledging the issue and how to fix it.
