recall

Big Media's new favorite clickbait headliner word for already fixed and/or easily fixable software-only issues that require no action or knowledge on the owner's part to be "fixed." Only applies to Teslas because legacy auto has already bought and paid for the media. Also doesn't apply to every computer or smart phone ever made even though it's the exact same update process.

As long as you're Big Media, you're talking about Tesla, it's an easily fixable issue, and, especially if it's already fixed in a previous software update, then it's a recall. Else it's not news worthy (i.e. not a recall).

Big Media Headline: TESLA RECALLS ALL OF ITS VEHICLES TO ADD AN OPTIONAL CHIME.

Translation: "This over-the-air software update was already sent out to the entire fleet but we just learned about it and need to get money get paid. So this is NEWS and it's a RECALL, ok?"
