I appreciate the clarification here. I read this headline this morning and it made me think they had to "(physically) recall 2M vehicles" as-in take them off the road completely.
With a cup of coffee it feels a bit more like "take them into a service center to fix them" but even that is far larger than the truth.
That’s not how recalls usually work anyways. The cars aren’t pulled off the road. You usually get a letter or email then schedule a service. Happened with my Outback a few years ago… some battery drain thing. I took it in a few months after getting the email.
Yeah, like I said. After coffee I realized it wasn't them being pulled off the road like when a drug or food is recalled. I've received those letters, but the wording of the headline made it seem like the whole vehicle was recalled on the surface, and it was what I assumed until I took a second to think about it and realize it was likely a letter in the mail and a service center visit, but in reality it is even less. Just a software patch that is basically invisible to the user.
