Supposedly, middle of 2013 revision in the Driver side head.
Know a couple techs at local Dodge store, they havent had any late 2013 or 2014 models where they have had to swap any heads.
Chrysler extended the warrany on the 2012 and 2013 to 150K miles I believe.

IIRC, there were two revisions to the head. Something to with #2 cylinder. My son and a friend are Chrysler techs and I don't think they've done any of the new ones either.
I thought it was mid '13 model year / mid '12 production date that the "C" heads hit production lines.

IIRC the problem ended with a few early 2013's. The head went through 2 revisions and the 'AC' head did the trick. 2014 is GTG, and 2015 is essentially the same. DI still hasn't caught up to it yet, which IMO is a plus. 
Actually my son's shop is taking apart more Hemis than Pentastars right now.
I found the thread in the Jeep forum that I had read, it claims revision "C" heads hit production Oct of 2012. Revision "B" out in June of 2012, so '13 model year cars are all supposed to have the second or third revision of the head. There had not been any reports of the ticking issue on either the A or B heads. Apparently a few reports of cam bearing journal issues on the B.
Timing chain guide. They've done a bunch in the last few months.
They have a revision on the Chain guides, doing a recall on them.
I saw a hemi at the local store my friend was working on, needed a new cam, had 350K miles on it in Landscapers 2500 Ram plow truck. Engine looked mint but one of the followers had worn and took out a lobe, of course guy had service contract and his cost was 100$, guess he was smiling saying Chrysler is my pit crew.

Considering his dealership sells more Pentastars than Hemis and does more warranty work than payed, I would disagree that this means nothing.
What are the issues that are more of a concern than head?
