"It's just an OTA software update"

The way the fix is applied is irrelevant. The important thing is that their vehicles have a safety issue and it needs to be fixed and documented for each vehicle.

It's completely relevant.

The term shouldn't be overloaded.

When you see a recall you shouldn't have to wonder if it's a download or if you need to take the car in.

A recall means “PAY ATTENTION! Something may still be broken!”

The recall will mention how to get it fixed, regardless of a OTA update or service visit.

The lack of a mere download could mean the difference between life and death.
