Tesla has a recall. What does that mean?

The recall is over full self driving and warnings about keeping the drivers attention.
It’s odd because while it’s technically “a recall,” the change will be made via a software update and does not require a special trip to the dealer.
That’s another piece to the “special sauce” is it not?

Thanks for clarifying. I heard that this recall was only for US Teslas ... so what about the rest of us (ROTW)? I'm in Hong Kong and I use AP whenever it Is convenient for me. I also keep my hands on the wheel otherwise there is an alert (which is adequate). No big deal but, as you said, the media made a big meal out of it! 😅

The US has some specific requirements for display of safety information. It’s not that anything was wrong, per se, just that there needed to be different warnings to meet the standards. IMHO the standards need to be updated to meet new technology. 🤷🏼‍♂️ So you probably won’t get an update for this. I mean it may show up in an update to standardize it, but it’s not critical. But yeah. The media went craaaazy. Elon Musk said he was frustrated at how this was handled. I got the software update a day or two after the announcement. I got the formal letter in the mail earlier this week (many weeks after the recall was done).
