NHSTA needs to reevaluate the usage of “recall” in situations where nothing is being physically recalled to the manufacturer’s facilities. It is only confusing people.

There are much clearer ways to phrase what has occurred like “Regulators force Tesla to issue mandatory OTA update to address issues with auto pilot”

Sorry, but do all teslas have starlink or whatever satellite provided connections? Are all cars connected to the internet? Until that happens, I want a recall that _can_ be fixed by an OTA update called a recall.

Because for sure my parents' next car will have OTA capacity, but also be disconnected by my dad. If it needs a software update, that vehicle will be driven to a garage. If you don't issue a recall anymore, it'll be dangerous.
