Re:Tesla recalls 380k vehicles in US over power steering ass... by gamblor956 on Friday February 21, 2025 @02:05PM (#43131552)
A "recall" is a legal term of art referring to a (voluntary or government-mandated) fix for a safety-related issue affecting a motor vehicle.

Recall has multiple meanings; in this context the meaning intended was "to summon back" to a location specified by the manufacturer so that the fix could be implemented.

In modern times, "recall" for vehicles has been conflated with the term-of-art "recall" that is used with respect to consumer products, for which the intended meaning was "to return or revoke."

(For those who don't see the difference: the first meaning is temporary, the second is permanent.)
