    Just because the recall is an over the air fix, doesn’t make it less serious. Which is probably why it’s called a recall.

        No, it’s a recall by definition.

        A recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle, equipment, car seat, or tire creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards.

        Manufacturers are required to fix the problem by repairing it, replacing it, offering a refund, or in rare cases repurchasing the vehicle.

      Not a tesla fan either but it kinda is less serious. I assume the compliance % of an over the air update is much higher than physical recalls. Like I bet people are still driving with faulty Takata airbags or other serious recalls.
