"recall" is a malicious term in this context because it sounds like you need to take your car somewhere and have it out of service for a few days.

Here’s what they’re required to do:
> In the case of a notification required to be sent by a motor vehicle manufacturer, by certified mail, verifiable electronic means such as receipts or logs from electronic mail or satellite distribution system, or other more expeditious and verifiable means to all dealers and distributors of the vehicles that contain the defect or noncompliance.
NVM the fact that customers will get them months after the work has automatically been done. :facepalm
No. "recall" is a term with a meaning, it means:
- the manufacturer has been obligated to fix this
- they must fix it for all listed cars
- they must fix it for free
The term "recall" doesn't imply anything about the implementation details how the above is going to be accomplished.
Whether you have to take it to a dealer, or it's done over the air, or even if they have to ship the car back to the factory, makes no difference to that fact that it is a recall.
