Someone makes a fix for it that can be retrofitted, but its not Porsche. They would have to admit a problem first.
Remember these are the same guys that sent out an army of lawyers to attack ANYONE that used the word Porsche anywhere. Even if the person was not in any sort of business. I think they tried to make it impossible for you to even post a picture of your own car, but that did not go anywhere.

Yes, on certain intermediate shaft bearing variations, frequent oil changes will indeed reduce the failure rate. Some models have a fully sealed bearing while other models do not. In the reading I've done, most all bearings that failed were full of gunk due to infrequent oil changes.
