No, thats one of the advantages of AC.

In the last 6 years I've replaced just 1 AC convertor due to a fault & another AC convertor due to the apprentice blowing it up changing the traction fuse ( he shorted the unit out by dropping his spanner across all the terminals )

I've not had to replace a single AC motor, only things ive done is bearing replacement including the odd speed sensor bearing.
