Default Failed outer tie rod ball joints

Has anyone had any issues/experiences with their recall-replaced ball joints failing within 20K miles? I'm presuming that the OEM ball joints were actually replaced...at least, that's what the service order says.

In 50 years of car ownership, I've never had ball joints fail so quickly. Dealer, of course, asserts that "this is normal".

not normal.

I don't have the XC90. Replaced ball joints on S90 at 100K. Have had three 240s 170K - 260K miles with original ball joints.
