Thanks for getting me paranoid now bud...

If you're concerned until you can bring it in, just check if there's any fuel odor under the hood when the engine is running, checked ours, so far so good.

We just popped the hood last week to add a quart of oil (7,000 miles since last oil service and got low oil warning). No noticeable smell of gas, but it was outdoors, in our driveway.
Got the letter couple days ago.
Our lease runs out in August, but since it's a fire hazard, we'll get the recall work done ASAP.

Amazing the oil consumption diff in some of these vehicles, we have yet to receive a low oil warning 17k thus far with a good combo of city/highway milege and two changes.
We are moving to our second home next week and we will bring ours in for the recall the following week or as soon as the dealer there can get us in. I/we have been carefully checking for fuel odors in the garage upon returning home and before departing with the engine running to stay safe in the interim.

MAIC55 Please let us know if your Climate Control acts up after the software update because mine did.
