This has happened on occasion. The manufacturer is using a platinum plug that is designed to last for 100,000 miles before needing to be replaced. If you are concerned with this happening to your vehicle I would suggest you remove the plugs and coat the threads with anti-seize compound. It is available at all parts houses and should be standard practice when you replace plugs in an aluminum head. Hope this answeres your question.
