Valve spring recall - Timing chain break
 
Had the valve spring recall done and 24 miles later one of the timing chains broke.

The dealership has replaced the timing chains, guide and VVT gear.
I pick the car up tomorrow, anything I need to check before taking possession of the car again?

Well, that sucks - :(

If in fact the timing chain did break, it's a wonder that the engine didn't suffer major damage since, I understand, it's an interference engine design.

You might ask a person from the shop to ride with you and take it a spin around the block before you accept it. Listen for any loud noises and look for any oil leaks.

Good luck.
