2003 Corolla, what's up with the belt tensioner?

I had to have the belt tensioner replaced twice on my 2003 Corolla, and it
only has 46,000 miles on it. Shouldn't the belt tensioner last longer than
an average of 23,000 miles? Hell, the belts last a lot longer than that!!
Is Toyota going to redesign that part so it doesn't wear out almost
immediately?

Toyota is generally pretty good at re-designing parts that need replacement
more frequently than normal.
