Interesting! I've never heard about the bounty thing. 

I agree. In 32 years the only Bosch capacitor I've ever had give me 
trouble was one that got pinched under the generator at the dealer. 
Once I got it free from there, I continued to use it for years and later 
sold it on the car. The engine compartment heat let the smashed 
insulation return to its original shape and eventually you could 
barely see that it had been abused.
