Neither and considering the integrations of car systems, surprised this isn’t a OTA update

  It sounds like a standard electrical switch that moves the seat could get stuck/wedged and the motor will continue to try and move the seat indefinitely. There's no software involved.

    There's definitely software involved, just probably not OTA compatible https://www.continental-automotive.com/en/components/seat-comfort-systems.html https://www.continental-automotive.com/en/components/seat-co...

    Although, either the motor should be designed so that it can successfully run forever in this case (maybe draining the battery but too bad), or, so that it fails entirely after some period, it shouldn't catch fire as that's definitely not what you wanted. Hence, presumably, the safety recall.

    Times of physical switches being directly wired into 12V motor supply are long gone.

  Kia/Hyundai have been kinda slow when it comes to rolling out the ability to update cars OTA (although I don't know if other legacy automakers are any better). I think the first model to support full OTAs was the Ioniq 6 in 2023. It's still gradually being added to other models when they get refreshed. I do wonder how the cost of adding OTA support compares to doing software updates the old fashioned way. My Ioniq 5 can only do OTA updates for the infotainment, and when there's been recalls to perform non-infotainment software updates it's required a short dealer trip that I assume Hyundai corporate pays for. Across all of the cars they've sold, I imagine that gets expensive

    For legacy automakers it is a small miracle to get any software updates, much less OTA updates.
