Ding ding. Airgaps get broken when you bring it to the dealer, they plug it in, and it downloads and uploads all your data.

You gotta neuter the sensors

    maybe it's different here in Europe, but why not avoid dealerships all-together? do you just not have third party mechanic shops?

    What do you think the third party mechanic plugs into the car to read data from the computer?

    are they also forced by the company to send them the data?

    No, but you think they're going to use open source software?? The dealer wrote the software. They'll make it call home to the mothership.

    Unless you find a mechanic that will perma airgap their computer. Good luck

    Don't bring it to the dealer, they way overcharge for repairs anyway...

    recalls are unavoidable, however

    Only if you take it in. Sacrifices must be made..

    that's how I treat my airbag recall

    like, sure, I could take it in. but that'd mean I'd have been in a crash. just don't crash. my first car didn't even have a passenger airbag, they should consider themself lucky it might work at all
