Unlike the ignition switch debacle at General Motors all those years ago, this problem seems to be exacerbated by temperature and not having five hundred souvenir key rings hanging from the tumbler. If this happens while driving, the engine could stall and flummox the electrical system, increasing the risk of a crash.
