I asked the service advisor at my "5 star" dealer what the
recommended maintenance interval was on the timing chain. His
response was that the chain is designed to last essentially forever
(the lifetime of the engine). He told me that belts have to be
replaced, but the chain in the V6 does not need normal maintenance.
This is according to official information from Chrysler Canada.
