You can find an answer in How inheritance weakens encapsulation chapter of "The Object-Oriented Thought Process" by Matt Weisfeld.

The problem is that if you inherit an implementation from a superclass and then change that implementation, the change from the superclass ripples through the class hierarchy. The rippling effect potentially affects all the subclasses.
