I had this issue on my ex-MY'14 REX.
It was fixed under warranty (free to me), not a recall.

It would not hurt to ask the dealer about covering it either under some kind of an extended warranty from BMW NA, or "good will".
As an alternative, have you considered engaging the REX engine to consume some of the gas in the tank (either manually trigger REX if you had it so coded, or just exhaust the battery and get REX to kick in), and lower the pressure that way? Perhaps, it will be enough to get the gas cap to cooperate?
In the worst case, if you are out of the warranty, you will have to pay for it out of pocket. Under the circumstances, I don't think you would want to carry on without having functional use of the gas tank.
