This looks like the fix (from FB).

Well if they used a blind/pop type rivet.

Hope they used a backup washer on the upset side (which is the mushroom expanded side) this allows for more surface area for securing.

See below example.

Probably a case of one with more soap used and someone mashing it too hard one too many times. A problem just waiting to happen. I expect the rivet is primarily to keep the cover from sliding, and I hope that is only a temporary fix before a better design is delivered.

If you look at the service bulletin it seems like the new replacement pedal assembly thats referenced also has a rivet coming from the supplier

stopped by the delivery center and got stonewalled, just repeated that containment was still until 22nd and we'd be contacted then - guy was kinda rude about it
