A recall that can be fixed with an OTA update is still a recall. The issue isn't that you have to bring in your car, it's that the government has determined the vehicle has a safety issue that it's forcing Tesla to fix. An OTA fix is convenient for the driver, but it doesn't change the fact the car had a safety problem that warranted government intervention.
- peterisza 3y agoTesla wasn't actually being forced. In the past, other automakers like Ford, GM, Porsche and Kia/Hyundai ran into the exact same problem. They just filed an inconsequential non-compliance petition to NHTSA because this issue is so minor and it would have been too expensive to fix --- for them.

- unshavedyak 3y agoYup. If it was possible to run it offline, then the recall would sound very traditional. Which is to say it’s unsafe to drive, it has be recalled until it is fixed. How the fix is implemented seems irrelevant.
