Default carrier bearing failure?

Hi
New to the boards here.
Hopefully a simple question.

Have 2 Accords, 1 EXV6 coupe auto, and LX 4 sedan auto, both have failed carrier bearings in the diff. Loud grinding only when foot is on gas as you're driving. Have listened from underneath and noise comes from diff area, V6 car has major play in left axle going into trans. Mileage on V6- 126k (started with noise at 100k and 2 years old) Mileage on 4 cyl- 58k

At work I have seen quite a few 98's and only 98's with failed carrier bearings, have had to replace with Honda reman units. As no one in area is capable of taking one of these units apart and getting them to work right afterwards.

Both these cars mentioned are close friends so I'd like to help them out if I can.

Has there been any kind of good will on Honda's part, or do they even know about this?

Thanks for any help.
