“Recall” being a free software update that has already been pushed OTA.
We really need a better word.

Other cars also had problems fixed with software updates, the only I can see that’s heavily used but Tesla and not the other companies ( in the past ) it’s OTA updates.
If I have to take it in and be without my vehicle for x hours or days that is much more disruptive to my life and makes the vehicle less useful.
When it updates overnight and the first I know about it is a letter in the mail weeks later that is much less impact.
“Recall” should be reserved for “take it in” and we need a new word for “something important needs to get fixed and it’s already been done”.
I wonder if there will be hybrid recalls? Like "disable full-self-driving until customer brings in car for service".
