meh, cali didn't set out to make that specific recall mandatory. if memory serves, that was fallout from the takata airbag fiasco-- so many people weren't doing it(due to the large backlog, and impossible dealers), it presented a very real and very serious safety risk to the process of purchasing a used vehicle.

i've also got some reservations about making all recalls mandatory, as not all are really the safety issue that they're made out to be. but it's difficult to draw up a country-wide rule that makes sense otherwise.
