I don't know. Good-guy recalls on things that are largely unimportant sometimes can end up creating good will and customer loyalty. The part in place seems to only matter in very specific scenarios and is largely an inconvenience, not a safety risk.

The fix will be done at local service centers. So I don't see how this will affect production at Nevada and Fremont.

Guessing from the article, the fix is replacing a few bolts with more corrosion resistant ones. The labor around that should mostly be about reaching the parts in question and maybe some minor recalibration on the steering column.

I was told the upgrade would take ~1 hour in a local service center.
