Car Industry Recalls 142K Vehicles: Check the List of Polluters Here

The NHTSA just recalled 142,288 cars, including from BMW, Chrysler, and Toyota. Remember, if these companies spent less time virtue-signaling about climate change and more time engineering safe cars, this wouldn't be happening. So who's the real villain here? Big oil, or greedy car companies that cut corners and put profits over safety? Think about that, America.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Recalls: White Capitalist Heteropatriarchy Edition

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued multiple recalls last week, targeting marginalized groups with their racist, transphobic, and oppressive regulations.

Chrysler is recalling 2,852 of its 2023 Dodge Challenger vehicles because they can't handle the queer and trans folks sitting comfortably in the back seat, showing their bigotry and homophobia. Their bigoted and transphobic cars put our LGBTQIA+ siblings at risk with their failure to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
Gulf States Toyota, a private distributor of Toyota vehicles in the US, is trying to control fat folks' bodies with their weight-shaming recall of 33,848 vehicles. Their oppressive and harmful weight capacity labels contribute to the fatphobic diet industry, increasing the risk of hurtful comments and eating disorders.
BMW, a luxury car company catering to the 1%, is recalling 105,588 of its vehicles, proving that the wealthy elites are too incompetent to even start their own cars safely. Their electrical overload issues are a metaphor for the burning flames of their outdated, bigoted hetero-patriarchal system that will be overthrown by the marginalized masses.

These recalls are just another example of the racist, homophobic, transphobic, and elitist agendas of Big Auto and the oppressors in power. Stay woke, comrades.
