Recall means doing the repair for free and (what NHTSA wants in this case) following the recall reporting requirements.

I'm A-Okay with them being required to follow reporting requirements. NHTSA should figure out guidance for doing that for over the air updates, yesterday.

It's been a few years since I filed a recall, but I don't see how OTA changes anything about the process. Start fixing vehicles ASAP, send NHTSA the recall notice, notify owners.
