How is this relevant? The owner has to physically bring the vehicle into the dealer. The dealer can't change or replace anything while it is in my garage or driving down the street. There are physical barriers that require the owners consent beyond checking a box.

You are correct, the vehicle manufacturer cannot come and take the dash away. However, under literal threat of metal shrapnel exploding in one's face [1], I would argue that the consumer is coerced with great bodily harm to present his vehicle for service.
