Nissan changed the way it made bearings (dropped lead out of the formulation) and as a result saw a rise bearing failures at sustained temps over 300. 280 was the point they decided was a good place to limit to give themselves a bit of a buffer. I have no idea oif other car companies have done the same thing with their bearings.
