I dunno...i'd be afraid it would get slippery and be prone to slipping even before the teeth break. Why don't all car companies use non-servicable chains instead of belts. Its not like the chains were just invented or something. How much extra would it really cost?
I guess they just want people lining up at the dealer every 60-90K to pay for timing belt changes.
