    They call it recall for the click bait. It’s an OTA update.

      Still a recall. Sure, they fix it OTA, but they still have to mail out notices, track fixed vehicles, provide quarterly progress reports, etc.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    That makes the lights hard to read, increase the risk of a crash, according to a recall notice filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

    A January 30 report posted by NHTSA noted that Tesla is not aware of any crashes, injuries or deaths linked to the incorrect warning light fonts.

    Separately, the NHTSA on Thursday said it has opened a preliminary evaluation about reports of power steering problems with some Teslas.

    The report noted that it has identified 2,388 complaints about drivers losing steering control in some 2023 Tesla Model 3 and Y vehicles.

    The company January recalled nearly 200,000 vehicles in the U.S. because the backup camera can malfunction while the car is in reverse.

    In December, Tesla also recalled more than 2 million vehicles across four different models to fix a flaw in its Autopilot system.

      Until you find out that a “recall” is simply a software update that they send out remotely.
