I think using the term for a software update is abusing the language a bit. And may confuse people who have a real recall where the thing has to go to the dealer.
- xnx 5mo agoYes, "recall" brings to mind serious issues like the gas tank exploding on the Ford Pinto.

- NetMageSCW 5mo agoGoing to the dealer has nothing to do with being a recall. A recall is when there is a legal requirement to do something that includes informing the owner, tracking which vehicles have and don’t have it done, and informing new owners if it it hasn’t been done.
