The majority of "actual recalls" is you taking your car to the dealership and them plugging into the diagnostic port and running one line of code. So this one is the same, just that Tesla is able to do it over the air.
...and that's one reason why I would never purchase a Tesla.
I recall getting a recall notice from GM that included "until repaired, remove key from keychain".
