Nissan’s been shipping their V6s like that for years. They tell you to replace the belt every 60 or 105K (depending on generation) and they *never* break prematurely. The belt is usually actually good for 120-140K.
They did recently change to chain drive because of their variable valve timing and clearance issues.
Never say never....
Belts fail... its a fact of life. Whether it be from manufacturing defect, being compromised by something else happening to the engine, etc.
A belt is a belt, it can be reinforced all it wants, but it still can and does fail prematurely from time to time. If the belt doesn’t snap completely it can still split and have the timing teeth portion sheer off.
There is a reason domestic automakers left the interference engine in the history books a long time ago, even with drive chains. Leave it to japs and koreans to put them back on american roads.. and not only do it, but do it with an even weaker part that’s reponsible for keeping the parts from crashing together... sigh.
