I have seen this happen over 2 of these sensors now, but unlike most I do actually drive my rotary daily! and do allot of testing kilometers !!!
I have another supplier in the U.K. who sells a slightly different version of this open AIT sensor and I am doing durability trials on these across a various range of customer cars and mine as well.
Will update when we accumulate some more real world testing

I call bullshit on this one. I've sold over 400 of these sensors over the last 3 or so years and had only 1 sensor reported failed due to being exposed to extreme heat from a heatgun. I run 26 psi daily in my rx7 and have put steady miles on the car in the last several years. Not to mention the thousands of people that run open element gm style sensors in a wide range of high boost vehicles. I respect your knowledge pete, but knocking products to push your own is low.
