No CEL yet but I assume its only a matter of time.
Question I have is why wouldn't it be ok to drive until the approved TSB is being finalized. Is there actual knowledge out there that driving the cars with this issue are susceptible to further engine damage is the comment above just one of "nobody knows so err on the side of caution" which I can respect.

Honestly it's erroring on the side of caution. My car actually popped the code twice and both times there was a dramatic loss of power. I think what happens depends on
which cam gear that's failed and in what state it's failed ("locked", timing advanced, timing redtarded).
