Tesla recalls 2.2 million cars — nearly all of its vehicles sold in the U.S. — over warning light issue::Warning lights on the Tesla vehicles are hard to read, raising the risk of a crash, according to traffic safety regulators.
The word “recall” in the context of a product clearly means the product had to go back to where it came from. Do Microsoft, Apple, and Google recall devices running their software every time there’s an update? No, it’s called an update.
There 100% needs to be better phrasing for this, and for all manufacturers. I don’t give a shit about Elon Musk.
Honestly, I think in any context recall means that. The definition is To ask or order to return. They are literally saying that by recalling everyone has to return their cars. It just doesn’t make sense.
