It was only a matter of time before something like this happened,

Infant mortality in electronic, electrical, mechanical and electro-
mechanical systems is a well known reliability issue at the systems

1984, I don't know if modern engineers are still taught such things.

In this case, I hear, it was a sensor that failed.

A lack of sense comes as no surprise.
