"Recalled" feels like the wrong term here given it can be fixed via an over-the-air software update. That is, there should be a distinction between a recall that must be completed by a technician and a software problem that can be fixed in the next the update.

There was some kerfluffle a while back where Tesla fixed some mundane thing in an OTA, something like a radio volume bug, without filing a recall, and the NTSB got all irritated. They said something like “all changes are fixing defects, so you have to file a recall”

I was so hoping Tesla would put some intern on a project to automatically submit every commit to the car code as a recall.

Not sure how all that shook out in the end.
