Tesla recalls 2.2 million cars — nearly all of its vehicles sold in the U.S. — over warning light issue::Warning lights on the Tesla vehicles are hard to read, raising the risk of a crash, according to traffic safety regulators.

We need a new term to separate physical and virtual recalls. It’s not like 2.2M vehicles have to go to the dealer to have a faulty brake line replace.
Musk is a utter cunt though, don’t get me wrong. But this is not about him.
The word “recall” in the context of a product clearly means the product had to go back to where it came from. Do Microsoft, Apple, and Google recall devices running their software every time there’s an update? No, it’s called an update.
There 100% needs to be better phrasing for this, and for all manufacturers. I don’t give a shit about Elon Musk.
We also need a new term to clarify we’re still calling musk a cunt without having to do it in so many words.
Muskycunt?
Elon Musk clearly intended for the warning lights on Teslas worldwide to not operate according to the RULES. He is clearly a scoundrel, and NTSHA should GET HIM. Why do billionaires even control our car’s turn signals?! Surely there is some kind of review process for … like … selling cars!
I realize most of you, dear Lemmings, are distraught in fear over this news. Fear not! “Tesla is fixing the vehicles by releasing a free, over-the-air software update.”
It’s almost like this “news article” was deliberately trying to mislead you to gain ad revenue! Fortunately for you, I have dispelled the misinformation!

Calling an OTA software update a “recall” is rather stupid, but I don’t want to own a car that needs an OTA software update. At least not for anything important.
Recall for a font. A fucking font.
Really this is just further proof that software developers should be no where near automotive design.

The 2000 Corolla 4 cylinder manual is indestructible if you change the oil and don’t crash it.

Wow a recall over the font being too small? That’s kind of weird. If you can’t see small letters while driving maybe you shouldn’t be driving.
But as others here have said this isn’t really a recall… Soooo yeah
Not really a recall? The government disagrees.

Yea, the government never, ever, ever has outdated definitions, and moves sluggishly in relation to changing technology.
It’s not outdated. When the government makes you fix your product, it’s a recall. No matter how trivial it is.
