Seemed more relevant here than other places, given how many of us are still driving older cars.

On Tuesday, Toyota issued a “do not drive” advisory for 2003-2004 Corolla, 2003-2004 Corolla Matrix, and model year 2004-2005 RAV4 vehicles because of their use of Takata airbags that could explode and kill them.

...

Toyota said it will repair or replace the airbags free of charge. In addition to 50,000 vehicles in the U.S., some 7,300 are being recalled in Canada.

Toyota has advised customers not to drive their vehicles to their dealership and that the automaker will offer mobile repair at the vehicle’s location or towing services. If you own an affected vehicle, you can learn more by inputting your vehicle identification number on Toyota.com/recall.

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
