  The manufacturer identifies an issue with a vehicle, and “recalls” it to one of their service centers to fix it. Usually this is some defect in design or a part that needs to be corrected.

    Sometimes it’s the government identifying an “issue” not the manufacture. Or a government control changes that the already manufactured car doesn’t comply with so the manufacturer needs to recall the car to make it compliant. The latter happens a lot with Tesla but they can perform the recall with an update to the software remotely without the car coming to the shop, a large portion of their recalls are just software updates not deserving of the word

  I believe those are only the hardware recalls since everything else in this article is a simple OTA software update.
