Right, because the recall for the icons on the screen needing to be a tad bigger is as serious as uncontrolled acceleration of a giant hunk of metal.

They need a new name for software update recalls and physical recalls. They both need to be serious, but a distinction is needed.

You understand that recalls for minor non life-threatening issues were a thing before cars were even capable of receiving software updates right?

This is not a new practice. This is what a recall entails. The term isn’t being arbitrarily applied. It’s a recall.

And how often were they actually followed vs discarded because the customer just didn't care?

What does that have to do with calling them what they are, a recall.
