Marine vessel finds repair almost worse than the problem.

After only 14 hours of continuous operation, a generator onboard a marine vessel began experiencing such extreme vibration that it had to be shut down. As the generator had just undergone repairs, the crew was immediately suspicious.

Fearing the worst, the vessel's maintenance team removed the suspect bearing and sent it to SKF for a rigorous bearing failure analysis. SKF confirmed that the bearing was counterfeit, which nearly caused the "repairs" to be worse than the original problem.
