As I understand entirely from reading others' experiences here, IF the root failure is the separation of a certain plate in one of the timing gears which causes a drop in oil pressure AND the condition is ignored, then yes.
That is the worst possible scenario. There are other more common electrical issues which have a similar effect and are all lumped into this one category.
I spent way too much time at work this morning looking for a picture of that failed valve assembly.
Totally armchair troubleshooting here so I wouldn't put much credence in my guesses. Take the trust-but-verify approach with your dealer. It's a warranty case. Chin up and advocate for yourself professionally.
