They took down info re the buttons sticking. No objections, and it's not on the exclusion list for my Platinum coverage, so looks like they'll fix it. Nothing official, though, until I take it to dealer, dealer takes a look & calls them. I just passed 74K mi so need to schedule 75K mi $ervice anyway before I make 1500 mi drive north in a few weeks.
Also inquired about the carbon fiber covers on my air filter(s), which seem to be fading. The cf piece that's front & center looks like new, but the two larger panels are starting to look pale by comparison. Not so sure they'll cover that, since it may be simply a cosmetic issue. But if fading is a sign that cf is deteriorating, most likely from heat .... guess I'll find out soon enough, but input here is certainly welcome!
