Don't get me wrong, I care. It's just a recall traditionally meant the owner bring in a vehicle for a material repair.
A software update requiring an owner to bring a vehicle to a dealer to upgrade also applies.
But Teslas have automatic wireless updates. I don't think the word recall is appropriate as it doesn't require any user intervention as far as I'm aware. Call it a software update like everything else.
Simply because OTA updates and large screens on cars are so new. It's a recall because that's the word NHTSA uses whenever there is something the manufacturer is forced to fix, it doesn't matter how they fix it.
