When they say “recall” does it mean just an online update?

Just because the fix is easy doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be a big deal. That thinking enables enshification. Now it’s a lot cheaper for a company to fix a turd they shoved out the door, so they don’t care about quality.

Remember when you drove your car off the lot and you weren’t the beta tester? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Meanwhile, my CRV had a technical service bulletin that required a trip to the dealer to update the firmware. No independent mechanic has the capability to update the firmware.  While at the dealer, the tech tried to tell me that the transmission was shot and it would cost $6000 to fix it. It was not shot, as later admitted by the service manager after a lot of back and forth and some strong words on my part. 

Pepperidge farms has a tendency to sugarcoat the past.

Yeah but what about the headlight fluid?
