I wondered the same thing but decided not to worry about it.
A board like this is for relaying problems. Yes, there have been issues apparently w/ the tensioner. How many? Hard to say. How many have not had the tensioner changed and have had no issues whatsoever? Probably the majority but again, hard to know for sure.
I had the 60K done on my '99 V-6 a couple of thousand miles ago. The mechanic checked the tensioner and did not replace it based on the fact it appeared to be OK. Is he trying to screw me and get my engine to fail so I'm on the hook for big bucks later? Geez, I certainly don't think so.
Maybe yours also checked it and thought it was OK. Check with him or her to see if it was checked.
As for me, I think I am going to get that tensioner changed...at the 120K service just for peace of mind.
