Ah yea, make the consumer go through the pain of keeping that in mind and doing that every day and not blame the big corporation just silently breaking their product with seemingly no repercussions until now.
Just because it’s easy for some people to do you can’t expect everyone to 1) know about this issue (Remember, there wasn’t an official announcement or recall) and 2) be confident enough to modify something on their car.
Most people never do anything on their care and just bring it to the service for every small thing.
