What would make a crankshaft go in car that is only 6 years old?

Faulty Manufacturing: In some cases, defects in the manufacturing process can lead to a premature crankshaft failure.

Low-Quality Parts: Using low-quality parts during engine repairs or replacements can also increase the risk of crankshaft issues.

Neglecting Maintenance: Lack of proper maintenance, such as not changing the oil regularly, can lead to oil starvation and inadequate lubrication of the crankshaft bearings.

Stress/ Overload: Towing heavy loads, aggressive driving, or using the vehicle in extreme conditions can put excessive stress on the crankshaft.

Engine Overheating: Extreme heat can cause the crankshaft to warp or distort.

Accident Damage: A vehicle that has been involved in an accident or collision may have sustained damage to the crankshaft.
