Well if they have instructed you NOT to drive it MMC is duty bound to trailer it to the factory or more likely your local dealer will pick it up to complete the work. God help anyone currently on tour then...
We were on a Hopmog event when one of our members got the message. He tried to arrange for the AA to trailer it home, but was told "it's not a breakdown". He ended up having to pay to get it back. Will MMC pay for that............
I imagine a lot will rest on whether they contacted MMC or their dealer and explained their predicament. If they decided independently I would think it unlikely, but who knows as the company are handling this all very professionally so far.
They did seek advice from their dealer.
One would assume the discussion on reimbursement was had with the dealer at the time. I'd have probably asked for written confirmation before I arranged collection. I would have thought it would have been easier/cheaper/quicker to get the car recovered directly to the dealer, and then arrange transport home from there.
