The dealership looked but didn't do anything more than attempt to recreate. They did say, the problem is most likely the pcs misreading objects on the road, which is what your recall notice states. Can you please include my vehicle in this recall. It is dangerous for this warning system to activate, falsely notifying of emergency when there is none. I purchase this vehicle on 5/3/2019 as a Toyota certified used car. …”
