You just don't hear about things like that because every single Tesla recall makes the HN front page and is all over the media, even if it's just a software update, a details that omitted on purpose in the headlines.

There was a major airbag flaw which affected most cars from Japan for like a decade, and it just kept growing. I always kind of assumed that was if there was a recall of that magnitude out of the blue it would rock a lot of boats so it was trickled out. *Takata I believe.

This one does seem a lot more stupid though.

Yes it does, it just doesn't make the news.

Not clear if you are being sarcastic or not, recalls are way more common in other brands, with Ford leading the charts on number of recalls. https://www.powernationtv.com/post/auto-brands-with-the-most...
