The existance of this headline is great example for why software updates need a distinct name from "recalls". It devalues the word that needs to be taken very seriously, a "recall" for a minor software fix is in literally no one best interest.
Also, fuck you Tesla.
Strong disagree, a recall is a notice of defect which broken software qualifies as a defect. Call it a recall, let Tesla twist in the wind with their dogshit software.
More importantly, a recall is a legal process initiated by NHTSA that covers any sort of safety related defect. When they issue a recall there are very specific steps the manufacturers are legally mandated to perform.
