Hey, I just had my phasers done for the second time - I ignored for a while as it was just on startup but I continued to get a rattle after just startup, same rattle but it just continued. Days after getting my truck back, I ran into a bunch of engine codes, including low oil pressure. They replaced the sensor, for low oil pressure only to come again, to the point they are now telling me my engine is blown - all with it 500km after phasers were replaced. Now, they did not replace the tensioners or chains, but they replaced a gear or guide because it was cracked. Is this what you are referring to above? Is that a workmanship related issue?The cam phaser recall/TSB is related to the locking mechanism which causes a rattle only on cold start. There have not been instances of repeat failures with the updated parts. The only way the phasers could cause engine failure is if they physically came apart, which is extremely unlikely.
This sounds more like a workmanship issue than anything. It is critical that the crank pulley bolt be replaced each time it’s removed and critical that the correct torque procedure is followed. If the crank timing gear is found to be cracked upon disassembly, that’s a clear indication that the bolt was either reused or improperly torqued.
See if you can get the details of the failure, if it’s workmanship then the dealer should be covering the repair.
