So I got a friend with an 09 challenger R/T and the timing chain is broken, I can see the chain is not on the gear thru the cam sensor hole and it spins over real fast like a bunch of bent valves. As best I can tell from mopar.com is the chains were replaced but yet here we are. It only has 101,000 miles or so, is there any chance Dodge will do anything about this or is he AOL?
Any service writers or anything can give any advice?

Is it an auto or stick? IIRC, the recall was auto only. My 6 speed SRT-8 was not covered.

If he is the original owner, 2009 Challengers had a lifetime power train warranty.

If he is the original owner, 2009 Challengers had a lifetime power train warranty. IF he had the 5 year inspections performed. Many reports of troubles even if the inspections were performed.

My wife's 2009 had the timing chain recall, no issues before or after having it done. Her car only has 36k miles on it. My 2010 is a six speed so it doesn't have the timing chain issue.
