So that project (Have Nicole's car serviced for recall) has a next action of "Find the recall code for Nicole's car service" on my @Home list. It seems like such a small thing...but it really is the thing that will stop the project from moving forward.

Perhaps it was blindingly obvious now that gwelch has spelled it out, but just in case.
Based on Mcogilvie's suggestion of an action item "Check Calendars with spouse", perhaps the reason you can't move on the Camry A/C recall is because the next action is not to find the recall number, but to figure out when it makes sense to schedule the work. I'd think, once you've figured that out, you'll be more motivated to find the number and make the call, before the opportunity passes you by.
