It sounds like the "recall" is an over-the-air patch, and you can't opt out.

I suppose "recall" may also be a legal term, but it doesn't seem to fit well in this case.

I think technically it's still applicable. It's a "recall" of the software and not the physical car.

recalls apply to ota patches that have safety implications because you can't always guarantee that the user is in a place where the ota can be applied.
