Just called my dealer. I am told MMC will issue a statement in next 24 to 48 hours.
Dealer cagey about saying too much other than repairs will take place over a period of 'weeks' but wouldn't commit as too when the program would start.
Considering the logistical issues they also face, this is not going to happen quickly. If it does, I will be very happy, but not expecting this to be the case.
