It looks like my FD has lasted longer than the failure list.

From my feeble memory Paul Glaves wrote an article in his "Bench Wrenching" series in the ON about this.
The main problem is NOT a design flaw but an assembly flaw. The bearing preload is to high and this causes the ball bearing to fail. IF this was a design issue there would be a lot more than the estimated 4% of the bikes having failures. Failures would also be higher from people riding 2-up, pulling trailers, etc.
