Migawd, it's almost 5 years since this thread was started and it's still active because of people who are being harassed endlessly about the Takata airbag recall. I'm another of those unfortunate souls being stalked and harassed by Toyota -- just got their latest today. So today I called for the 4th time the number they gave and explained that the car in question was totaled in 2017 and the agent, as before, said she would pass the info on to Toyota.

What a curious situation. Toyota not only is obtuse and clueless, they also are quite creative. Each new recall notice is packaged in a new way: business envelope; business envelope with urgent-sounding wording on the cover; flat 8-1/2 x 11 envelope that looks like it might be something important; one of those tear-on-the-sides envelopes so you really have to work to see what's inside.

Sounds like fodder for a Saturday Night Live skit. I'll now try turning my annoyance into some sort of game: trying to guess when the next envelope or text message will arrive; ceremoniously burning each one; or, best of all of course, just ignoring the whole thing. Good night and good luck.
