Adding to this, as someone who works in a field that makes aircraft parts, the recommended service time frame is actually just a recommendation and not a point that the party instantly fails the second it gets to. We've had airlines send us parts with 3x as many hours as recommended between overhauls because that's how long it took the part to fail and they simply didn't care to replace it until it actually failed.

Doesn't using parts for longer than recommended cause the insurance premiums to go up? It would kind of beat the purpose of extending usage to save a few bucks.
