The oil pan is worn out???

Just received my Oct 05 Trailer Life magazine. In the RV action line column a reader was looking for help because a Dodge dealer in Ocala, Fl had changed his oil and afterward the pan was leaking. After the magazine tried to get resolution a representative of the dealership answered: (red highlites mine) Mr. H*****'s truck has 140,000 miles on it, and the oil pan needs replacing.
It is in no way the fault of others [including our shop] who have done his oil changes in the past. Pure and simple, his pan is just worn out.

So there you have it all you high (?) mileage vehicle owners. We need to get a new pan on order ASAP, before the price hike due to insufficient supply and very high demand!!!
