Fuel vent recall?

• . . .
  BMW discovered the car’s fuel tank vent line can rub against the sleeve of a battery cable. That friction is capable of causing a tear where vapor can leak out, which would be vulnerable to fire.
  
  The problem was originally discovered by a BMW dealer.

Last I heard is that the parts will not generally be available to resolve this until April. I'd say that if things had gotten critical, you'd get a fault in that the car pressurizes the fuel system...if there were a leak, it couldn't do that. So, to be dangerous, the chaffing would have had to advance to the point of a hole, and you'd both likely smell it and the car's sensors would have detected it. Prior to that, it should not be an issue.
