We really need to come up with better terminologyi here. I understand a “recall” is a mandated process, but it has also always meant scheduling an appointment at your dealer for the work. We could really use a different term for “there’s a mandated process but it’s an over the air software update so you won’t be inconvenienced”, and ye, Tesla deserves credit for this being a possibility so much of the time

Software recall? Firmware recall?
The term “recall” is mandated, so we can use that and add something to differentiate.
Patch? Hotfix?
Works for me, but I work in software where those terms are everyday and well understood.
