From what I understand the bigger issue is driven by the timing chain guides failing prematurely. In this case you want to avoid cars built Feb 2014 or earlier as they went to an improved guide in March 2014.

The secondary issue is with the timing chain itself. I'm not a clear on this one but from what I can see they made a change to the timing chain sometime in 2015.

I haven't received the notice yet, but people are reporting that the warranty coverage for timing chain related issues has been extended to 7 years / 70K miles.
