Not that I see. They fail all the time stock too. It's not an overworked/loaded issue...from what I've read, they can't keep the circuit boards dry.

So that's 45k N55 X1 (my wife's car...who puts around town for the most part)

~70k '08 N54 135

and sometime before 60k on our '08 N54 535/

I'm 3/3!

If I buy these motors in the future, I think I'm leaning toward 50k replacement as preventative. Something I'd NEVER thought I'd say.
