Default 2012 highest mileage when head went bad?

Probably not a lot of people have more than 32,000 miles on their 2012 models. Mine have been trouble free. I'm interested in hearing from people that have high mileage when the head went bad and started ticking. I recall seeing a spreadsheet from a member. Is that being kept up to date?

I was fine until 24k, then got CEL and misfire. Dealer replaced the driver side head, and I'm up to 31k with no other problems.

I just bought my first jeep one week ago today from a used car dealer. Has 39,600 miles when I got it. Drove it home home and the light came on and I notice the ticking. Brought it in yesterday and the dealer had a head in stock so it's being changed out now. I also think the rear axle seals are leaking, anyone else having that problem?
