2005 Nissan xterra timing chain

I have a Nissan Xterra 2005 with 150k miles. The dealership mechanic suggests to replace the timing chain and water pump. This was recommended as I just had a new clutch and flywheel installed. What are the symptoms that indicate that this work is needed, or is this "recommended" service necessary?

Re: 2005 Nissan xterra timing chain

Do they have any justification for recommending this. As a rule, timing chains are not replaced on a preventative basis, only when there is a failure but that doesn't mean they couldn't have a good reason in this situation.
