Anyone else: Clunk over small sharp bumps but not big ones

Software recalls make me ask how much of 'driving' lives in a module now. On a 2021 Lexus ES, I'd care more about the remedy and downtime than the press wording. I'd do that before spending real money. On “clunk over small sharp bumps but not,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2021 Lexus ES in Los Angeles. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. That's my plan before I call anyone.

I'd wait for the actual TSB/recall population, not the headline. If this is a 2027 reveal, I wouldn't map it onto today's 2021 Lexus ES ownership costs yet. I'd do that before spending real money. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

I parked the 2021 Lexus ES and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.
