Default Cam phaser problems

Looks like this issue was in the 2005-2005 years, correct? Is this a problem that surfaces around a certain mileage? I am looking at a 2004 with 80,000 miles and I am a bit concerned with this issue. Should I be concerned with this issue, or do you think if this truck had this problem that it would have been taken care of by now?
Any input on this issue would be great!
