2011 Nissan Pathfinder timing chains

...

I have a 2011 Nissan Pathfinder that has done just over 40,000km and was wondering if Nissan is having trouble with timing chains.

Yes, they do. It generally seems to happen at 80,000-plus km, so you should be safe for a while. In the meantime make sure you keep the servicing up to it, as some Nissan mechanics blame a lack of servicing for the failures, although it appears to be caused by wear to the chain and the tensioner.
