I must be missing something, what is a Crank Hub?

A design flaw (fixing crankgear to shaft) which resulted in a bunch of aftermarket fixes for people trying to make more power (the common victims of failure). To my knowledge, none of the solutions are sold with a guarantee.

Gear slips off the post and causes timing chain to slip. Bad for interference engines.

Is this a common failure? My car is relatively stock, it only has downpipes and is on E85, no meth. Stock turbskies. Is it for higher mileage or pre-lci cars?

Not as common as it may seem if you're seeing all the posts about it on here.

Majority of the people affected are running bootmod or similar tunes so getting the dealer to cover damages is highly unlikely. It's not really bm3 or another good tune's fault, it's more the result of a natural vibration in the engine and fittings rated for your stock car. There's no hard explanation for it, although manufacturers try hard to make sense of it. They typically don't really have the forensic background to make a legitimate conclusion. The likely culprit is inherent vibration in all S55 engines... and implementing such a stupid design.

My buddy's CS had a failure before 10k mi (bm3), my CS was stock and tracked often with no failures.

It could have happened on a stock car before but I think those cases are extremely rare.

There's no stats to prove this, but it's more common on low mileage cars, as looking at SCH threads it's usually cars between 10-30k but that's not really 100% true so don't take my word for it, just something I've noticed from reading threads.

Older cars aren't more likely to experience a SCH any more than new s55's. If anything I feel like 2018's experienced it the most but again just speculation.

The only thing we know for sure 100% is the more torque you're pushing, the more likely it is to happen. On e85, you're at high risk in my opinion

It's not a common failure. If your tuned then yes it will fail. Stock engines won't fail. If it does, it's like under 1% failure rate

They cover engine damage if it fails or just their product? The latter is all I've seen up to this point.
