I get why Elon Musk objects to the use of the word recall, but I don't understand why anyone else is going along with that.
> But the fact that any "defect" that can be fixed with an OTA update is called a "recall" is confusing to consumers
What is confusing about this to you?
> contributes to media sensationalism
Why do you think this recall is more sensationalistic than many of the other recalls issued recently? Automotive recalls often address serious issues with cars. "Fix this or you could die" is a common enough theme when, you know, if you don't fix it you could die.

Why? Information related to how, when, and where the recall can be addressed is contained in the text of the recall notice, same as it ever was.
