How is this a recall? It sounds like if you're an early adopter all they're offering is a $100 discount on a new one.

Recall just means “fix needed”. It doesn’t necessarily mean they all get returned to manufacturers. (I’d have gone through half a dozen cars if that was the case.)

The warning system seems insufficient to say the least? Usually there's a hardware fix.

It seems you’re just going to perhaps have to agree that the One Wheel may kill you, just like the self driving car warnings.

I'd say hardware fixes are becoming increasingly less common. As more of the ways devices function rely on software there is less a need to physically change them to correct problems.
