Just because the issue can be solved by an update ( and lately some recalls actually have been - see Huyndai GPS debacle ) does not mean it is not a recall. It just happens to have a different means of correcting it. In other words, update equals recall.

And that is before we get into whether it is appropriate to update something that can move with enough kinetic force to have various security agencies freaking out over possible scenarios in the future ( and likely cause for some of the recent safety additions like remote stop ).

In other words, just because he may be a hater does not make the argument not valid.
