Now that's innovative.
Since it's been decided it's a safety issue (no matter if you think it is or not) the company that makes it could also be held liable if there ever was an issue. I don't think anyone would want that responsibility.

Yea, Now let's start applying twisting force to the fob. Maybe good only for loose screws.

How about a nail file then? There seems to be other things it could be used for.

Hey that might work. Of course then some people might get mixed up and assume use while driving as it dangled from the new key.

Will we be penalized in any way if we opt out of having the recall done?

I dont think so.. But if you do hit your key by any chance while driving and crash.. it will be on you.

Hell or use it to clean their ears out and puncture their ear drums. I have heard that happening with regular keys...

I would have to somehow grow a new joint in the middle of my thigh bone that bends upwards to be able to shut off my car. If i can accomplish that, I could also grow wings so I can fly instead of needing to drive everywhere.

Thats why they need to stop putting safety instructions on the simplest of things. That way we can thin out the numbers.

Like those little drying agent packets that come in some items that says "Do Not Eat". Maybe we should have a thread for Instructions only stupid people need.
