i highly doubt it, since the IMS is not intended to be lubricated by the engine oil...

additionally, the timing chain is specifically excluded and it covers parts that are "oil wetted." you also have to use the same viscosity as recommended and they exclude any failure that's a result of manufacturing defect - which they could conceivably argue is the case with an IMS failure.

plus AX or DE it and your out.

there are too many ways for them to get out that it would seem pointless to me.
