@majorlinux Not by any normal definition of the word "recalled", they didn't.
And normally, if your backup camera has some rare bug (certainly nobody I know has ever encountered that)... it continues having said rare bug for the rest of your car's life. It doesn't get a free update over-the-air installed at your convenience.
This is why I get so damn angry when I see a modern day #pickup#truck or #SUV anywhere other than a farm or a construction site. And even then, there are safer options.
"Tesla .. recalling .. over 2m vehicles in .. United States fitted with its Autopilot advanced driver-assistance system to install new safeguards, .. system was open to “foreseeable misuse”.

The US NHTSA has issued a recall on every Tesla vehicle sold in the US with the Autopilot feature installed. Calling the feature a safety hazard as it can be too easily misused due to inadequate driver monitoring.
The safety recall requires Tesla to perform a software update on all affected vehicles that will force drivers to monitor the vehicle more closely.
No word if a similar recall will be made in Canada.
@DrTCombs Waiting for the retro fit arms that school buses have 🤷♂️
I used to drive large trucks for work in rural areas years ago, and I hated the visibility for this reason. Why on earth would someone want the liability and immense guilt of killing someone with such a personal vehicle nowadays, is beyond me.
@kkarhan@DrTCombs@notjustbikes anything over one and a half tons was made an exception. No crash testing, no safety measures. No fuel economy rules.
And yet they sell them as “safer”.
Tonight's loss of braincells brought to you by #NHTSA, who would like to remind you to not turn your car #airbag system into a claymore mine. #Transportation#Safety
