It can come up out of nowhere. Mine had 62K before I had the issue.
Symptoms - car will sound like rocks bouncing around in upper part of motor. Ususally happens at start up and may go to normal after a few minutes but can persist. Once you hear it you'll know. You want to have it taken care of ASAP. If you are out of warranty, ask the dealership if they'll help out as good will. Mine was out of warranty and total cost was $1700 but they only charged me $500. Better than the $1700.
That's it but CHECK your oil regularily. If it gets way low that can cause the tensioner to go bad also.
Forgot - the tensioner issue is for the S models, not the Justa's. You should put what you have in your signature so people don't have to keep asking what model you have.

Only other issue is the timing chain tensioner. Lots of info on it out here.
