Not particularly here. Which type exactly? The beehive recip. hermetics used in the Voyager packaged rooftops, or the red scrolls used in large Voyagers & scroll machines?

Its a 4 ton split system,short piping run...I replaced one which was grounded on warranty,the new one lasted about 5 days then seized! There is oil at the compressor.I have replaced a few of these on warranty over the past 5 years

sounds like "poor workmanship" did you find out why the original compressor failed? from my experience most compressors when installed properly (assuming you corrected the cause of failure) will not go out.

Had some large scrolls in chillers that Trane retro-fitted from 22 to 404a that systematically failed after the warranty period !
