Main bearing seal

[JacentLey]

Question ? Has any one else experienced this; at the 500mile 50hr service the dealer found the main seal on the engine to the clutch leaking. They replaced. At just over 1000miles and 100hrs I noticed oil on the ground. Took it back to the dealer and it’s the same seal, except this time they say they found the root cause; the main bearing had spun and was pushing on the seal causing it to leak. Now it getting a whole new engine. When I talk to the dealer the second time before they discovered the bearing I asked them to look deeper because it was pretty coincidental that it’s happened twice every 500 miles. So in my thought process, there was something wrong. The first time they replaced the seal. They just did identify it. So is this a common problem with the 2024 or is this a one off?

I haven’t heard of any like that on the ‘24s. There has been a couple with crank seal leaks on the accessory drive side on the ‘25s though. Haven’t heard any of them being more than just the seal.
