    How sad it is that in a recall of a deficient product, that the manufacturer gets to not fix the vehicle if it has more miles on it than they like (see attached, my vehicle is a 2017 with 60K). If a product is deficient, it is deficient, isn't it? Just because I like the vehicle and take good care of it, they penalize me by not replacing the deficient part. Is this part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration policy? Now if that part breaks, I have to pay to fix their defective product with my Social Security income, and I'm sure it won't be cheap! If this is your policy, thanks for not taking care of ALL of us!
