Recalls are never fun, but they’re a product of several things, including a desire to make cars as safe as possible. Despite that, some owners drive their cars for years with active recalls. . Others, like the man at the center of this story, take legal action before even confirming whether their car is actually part of one.

 

Back in early February, Toyota launched a recall covering certain 2025 Toyota Camry, 2025 Lexus NX, and 2024-2025 Lexus RX models. In total, it affects around 41,000 cars, but the automaker says that less than one percent have the issue that led to the recall. That concern is a potentially defective seat belt in the second row. It might have been damaged during manufacturing.
