If your CSC fails first, then it is smart to go ahead and replace the CMC at the same time. You are already having to spend a lot of money on CSC labor, so the extra cost for the CMC replacement is peanuts in comparison. It doesn't make as much sense the other way around (like your scenario). If the part is covered under warranty, they will only replace whatever part(s) has(have) failed.

Oh ok, that makes sense. Just sucks to think our cars are like ticking time bomb with these problems. I'm still a little paranoid about the steering lock mechanism failing on me one day, but I like that extra security since there have been cases of theft in my area in the past #becausenyc #newyorknewyork .
