I have seen a lot f the OEM housings leak. All years.
FCA stopped replacing the housings for a while and under warranty you were only allowed to replace the o-rings at the bottom of the housings. The o-ring fix repaired most of them.
Just in my experience, please make up your own mind. We have a 10 bay shop and we have not done any of these repairs on our own customers. When one comes in for a leak it always has a Lube shop sticker on the windshield. Being that you put a ratchet on the housing I feel that over torqueing is the biggest cause of failure.
