Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Porsche 911 Carrera

I am the original owner of a 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera coupe with 24,800 miles. After taking my car for a routine oil change last week, the mechanic informed me about a ims bearing defect. They found evidence in the oil and have seen other cars with this issue. The car is scheduled to have the parts replaced and rebuilt. The estimate was $2,000 - $3,000. If not done they say it could totally damage the engine and render the car worthless. It seems that Porsche had a class action but I was never notified about this. Why was there no recall about this? I have written to Porsche cars north America about this and am trying to get them to reimburse the cost of repair. Please advise me of any information you have about this. Thank you.

After driving for approx. 30 minutes and shutting the car off for 20 minutes, car would not restart. Battery was strong and the engine turned over as in a normal start, but there was no ignition. After numerous attempts over a 15 minute period, car finally restarted and operated normally. Similar occurrence approximately 1 week later. Has not recurred since.
