I don't see how calling it a Software Recall will soften the blow for the car's user when the user has to drive it to a place where a device can be plugged in to do the update.

With a Recall in the normal sense, isn't there a record that the car has been updated? How is this done if the car is kept fully available to the user?




I had a similar recall with my washing machine. It was literally updated automatically before I even knew a recall existed.


Why the hell does your washing machine need internet access?


Don't really need it but it sends notifications when the wash is done, lol.
