Default Timing Chain Failure

I have a 2010 S with 13k miles. I heard a terrible racket coming from the right front wheel area and a few days later the engine check light came on. I called the dealer for service thinking maybe it was indicating an oil change. (I'm old school and still not accustomed an 18,000 mile oil change ) Anyway, it turned out that my timing chain failed. Thank God I was under warranty!

Anybody experience this problem?
