I would agree that it was probably a bad run of some plugs into the inventory but now the problem is how would you know if you are getting good ones or are there still defective ones in the inventory. I do not know of Bosch admiting to any bad plugs or recalling any. The simple fact that they did manufacture what turned out to be defective plugs and Bosch never admitting it speaks volumes for a plug they spent a lot of advertisment on. Rob showed me the plugs and there can be no excuse for what happened. Even cheap plugs don't fail that way. They just erode faster, never leak. This is exactly the same situation that happened with Renault. They made a bad batch of filters for the automatic transmission, would never admit it and never recalled any out of inventory. Buyer Beware!!!! Even "NEW" parts can be defective. In circumstances like this you get to see what a manufacurer's customer support REALLY means! Everyone can make a mistake, it is how they deal with them that is VERY important.
