I had mine replaced at 56000 miles. I live up north so with the cold weather and summer time. The heat and cold will cause the rubber to expand and over time cause it to crack. It wasn’t to expensive to have them replace it. It cost me like $165 to have the dealership replace it. You can probably get the belt for like $25-30 on amazon & might take 1 to 1.5 hrs to replace it.

No disrespect to anyone but when in doubt always follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance section of the owners manual. Normally belts last 60,000 miles on a vehicle. If you wish to push it beyond that its your personal preference. Every vehicle manufacturer is different, if Ford wants to say don’t need to replace it, then is up to them to assume the risk. All I know is that cracking in a belt will eventually cause it to break. It can happen now or it could happen 100,000 miles from now.

I've never seen a serpentine belt fail that wasn't caused by a failure of the belt tensioner or a belt driven rotating device.
But hey, a belt is cheap and super easy to replace on the HRV. Keep the old belt in your HRV as an emergency spare.
If you have a CVT transmission, I would spend more time checking and changing the fluid in it, rather than worrying about the serpentine belt.
