to take this a little further:
Your car has a recall. You are not contacted about this. It’s up to you to check the recall site regularly.

So you check the recall site and learn you have a recall. It’s up to you to request the recall’d part.

Then you have to install it (instructions are written at a “skilled mechanic” level, not a “competent driver” level)

If something goes someways during install, you basically need to buy a new car.
