The only ones who had fires must have had bad karma

Minor clarification: the affected vehciles were built from June 15, *2011* through July 9, 2012. Any vehicle delivered this year is likely impacted, including mine.

I'm glad they figured out the issue and that it's a pretty simple fix. It's a great car.
