This is just going to be fixed with an OTA update, for anyone that doesn't want to read the article.
Do they need to be driven anywhere for the fix or is it like an automatic update?
Someone mentioned in another thread that this is still technically a recall, but I didn't understand why.
I felt like calling it a recall might make people distrust future news about issues (or a bigger more traditional "send the car back for physical part swap" recall). Maybe a different term is needed?
None of these “recalls” have required you take the cars in.
My car downloads it and I install whenever is convenient for me.
