It is a new engine design, so I wouldn't be surprised it were were some issues. The more complex an engine, the more prone it is to having sub-systems crap out.
Even the relatively simeple engine in my E36 M3 had an issue back <30K miles where the cam position sensor failed and then a cylinder misfired, both with a couple thousand miles of each other. But then it was bulletproof for the next 50+K miles.
So it could be a major problem or a fluke. Without more cases, it's hard to tell.
That said, I'm glad I'm leasing.
