I'm not a Mopar mechanic and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn
Express last night, but I have seen a timing chain fail on
a 318. 1971 Plymouth Satellite, 120k or so the chain broke.
There's one, but I've not heard of any others.
The timing chain on my 3.9L '93 Dakota got very noisy at
about 100k. I replaced the chain at about 110k and it was
still quiet at 200k when I got rid of the truck.
