I think the squirter got plugged which caused the initial failure as the shaft and motor both move freely. I bought a new actuator, oil squirter, recess gaskets, decoupling agents and seals for the injectors I have to remove to do the job. Gonna start with that and if it fails again, it’s under warranty. 100$ deductible is a hell of a lot better than an 1800$ eccentric shaft rebuild kit yk?

Ya. I don't think it was the oil change frequency as there have been reports of failures on 5k mile intervals. IMO they're all going to need replacement at some point. It's the metallurgy between the teeth on the shaft and the screw of the actuator.
GL with the repair.
