Calling all Toyota & Lexus owners to check their VIN for this RECALL:
Manufacturer Recall # 23TB15

Toyota has acknowledged that a defect in the Occupant Classification System (OCS) may result in the passenger airbag failing to deploy in the event of a crash. 

--> This directly compromises a core safety feature we relied on when choosing this vehicle. Despite the recall being announced more than a year ago (Dec 20, 2023), I was recently informed by Toyota Customer Service that there is still no remedy available and that no rental or loaner program is being offered in the meantime.

Toyota might not see this post—but if enough of us speak up, they won’t be able to ignore it. Every owner affected by the airbag recall should contact Toyota directly and file a complaint with NHTSA. Public pressure works—let’s move the needle together.

Food for Thought:

When AI bots first popped up on FC, I wasn’t sure how they’d be useful to me—until necessity revealed a few game-changing use cases.

Imagine offloading the emotionally draining back-and-forth of a car recall onto an AI agent—one that negotiates with clinical precision.

To all builders: Here’s where AI could step in during a recall negotiation (maybe?)

1. Initial Case Management
AI agents could collect all documentation (recall notice, VIN, service records, correspondence).

They could automatically assess eligibility for remedies, check regional dealership compliance, and escalate improperly handled cases.

5. Emotional Buffering
Let’s be real—negotiating with large corporations is exhausting. 😩
