Few as of yet. Anecdotally these solenoid failures seem to appear around the 3 year old mark (plus or minus).
The K-S2 has been out for 3 years. But many are younger than that.
The K-S2 also didn't sell in the volumes that the K-30/K-50 did, so we can expect less reports at this time.
The point being just because there are less reports for K-S2 vs K-30/K-50 doesn't really mean anything at this point.
That all said I do agree that it is not worth worrying about. Stuff happens. Enjoy shooting and if the worst happens it can be resolved.

I think we'll start to see a lot more of these once the K-S2's hit the 2-3 year old mark. Same pattern as the K-30/K-50/K-500.
It's disappointing for sure, but the good news is it is fixable for a modest amount or many people are fixing it themselves.
Otherwise these are great capable cameras that are worth fixing and they seem to be otherwise reliable.
