Mine gave me fair warning, I just didn't recognize it.  It made an ominous
periodic noise that finally when BANG.  I was able to drive the 10 miles
home very gingerly with a very pronounced rhythmic thump.  Upon
disassembly, I found a significant portion of a pinion gear tooth had
broken away.  But enough remained to get me home.

I keep a spare,now.
