2 Timing Tensioner problem

Failure Date: 05/11/2016

I was told the timing belt tensioners needed to be replaced. It only has 60,800 miles on it. The dealer quoted me 1400. 00. There is a high pitched whine from the engine, most noticeable at low speeds. The vehicle runs ok but I'm afraid if the tensioners fail, so will the timing belt and so will the engine.
