> Was the recall a voluntary recall by the company or something the company was told to do by a regulator?

"Voluntary recall" in this case means that Tesla did not choose to take the hard route where there's a court order for a mandatory recall. Few manufacturers fight that, because customers then get letters from the Government telling them their product is defective and that it should be returned for repair or replacement.

Somebody in the swallowable magnet toy business fought this all the way years ago.[1] They lost. It's still a problem.
