This change happens over time, from long exposure to high heat/humidity. That is
why the US gulf states will have first priority. If you live outside of an
area like that, you can worry less. As some other people pointed out,
the problem actually is very limited, and by deploying the recall in an
age and humidity targeted manner, they expect it to stay that way.
That is why they say, drive the car, but come in when we tell you. The
first recalls are very likely being targeted based on where problems have
already been observed.

The interesting this for me is that my 2005 e46 spent it's entire life in Houston TX and I bought it last month and had it shipped out to Cali. I wonder if BMW will put priority on it because it was a humid/hot car but now it's not.
