The stigma will still affect them for a while, though.
Nick is correct that 2009 engines were redesigned without an IMS bearing.

I'm less concerned with the IMSB in those models and more with other problems that have cropped up in the last few years - Cylinder bore scoring and broken rod bolts to name a couple. While still very rare they are expensive show stoppers.
