Replaced AJV8 Engine affected by Timing Chain Issues?

I have a 2012 Jaguar XF with the 5.0L AJV8 engine. I hear that 2012 models are affected by the timing chain issues but after this, jaguar has fixed the problem. I had my engine replaced by JLR under warranty because it was making a clicking/knocking/desil like sound which the mechanic said replaced due to low oil pressure. This engine was replaced in 2015 and the jaguar tech told me its a brand new engine because JLR did not have "remanufactured" engines at the time.
Could this mean I am safe from the timing chain issues? Car seems to be running good just burns oil on startup after sitting for a while but runs smoothly. I am starting to think of which car/suv to get next but I have a hard time finding a car that is better than this one for the price. Car prices have gone up a bit now too for what you get.
Thanks for your comments
