As I have heard these have been prone to fail. I asked my local dealer if there was an upgrade on a recall, but they said no... should I wait for them to fail, or get my perfectly operational ones replace, just in case they are bad ones, as I don't know if this will cause any engine damage when it does fail.

Mine failed at 20K miles. Dealer replaced the whole supercharger assembly. It took almost a month to get the s/c shipped from Germany and let the dealer take their time with the install.
I've read in MBWORLD that you can just replace the clutch. Search that forum, I remember seeing it to be not that expensive to just replace the s/c clutch. A new S/C on the other hand will cost you $6K, per chrylser dealer.
