"BMW recall" pcv valve in the valve cover.

Has been over a year and there is still no remedy for the blower motor wiring recall nor the positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) valve heater. This is ridiculous. What if my vehicle is one of the ones that start on fire, then what? if there is a recall, there is obviously a serious potential problem, so why are manufacturers allowed to have an excessive amount of time to come up with the fix?.
