Hard to say.without anyone knowing I would say.
It could be or it could not be.

...
Additionally, some manufacturer implementationsinterpret the WN parameter relative to a date other than January 5, 1980. These devices should not beaffected by the WN rollover on April 6, 2019 but may experience a similar rollover event at a future date.For example, a particular GPS device may interpret the WN parameter relative to a firmware creationdate and would experience a similar rollover event 1024 weeks after that firmware creation date.

Furthermore in the ICD200-C from 2000 this rollover is already mentioned.

So also devices built before 2010 could already handle this correctly, or?

But I guess we just have to wait and see...
