Should I stop driving my car so things don't get worse? This isn't pro-active.
I'm not trying to cover anything and don't see it as damaging, just overly technical. The warranty provided covers repairing the vehicle (which can take time to get the parts needed), but not disclosure of all corporate information to customers.

Once a global standard repair method is developed, I'm sure a clear explanation will be provided to dealers needing to perform repairs. Until then, information shared may not apply to everyone and create confusion.

Just drive your car the way it was intended and have fun, knowing that any car with the problem will be fixed as quickly as possible. Given time, the situation may become proactive, but until then you can't damage the car unless you ignore the CEL.
