An actual recall that requires a hardware fix / replacement this time, and not a software update.

Am I reading the PDF right in that 1% or 2,431 trucks are affected, meaning they sold ~240k trucks?

Edit: official numbers are more around 30-40k worldwide as far as I can find. Idk how to read it, perhaps they mean 2,431 is the maximum but the expectation is 1%?

Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge each sold over 700k half-ton pickup trucks last year, while Toyota sold only 130k Tundras. I suppose it's possible that there are a quarter million suckers out there.

I have edited my comment with information I found and it seems Tesla is selling nowhere near that amount (30-40k)
