Who needs a recall when you have over-the-air updates? Certainly **t Tesla

Tesla has just issued probably the smoothest, least disruptive vehicle "recall" ever.*
The company recently found out that a software flaw might affect the passenger seat airbag functionality in right-hand drive Model X cars. While this might technically be counted as a recall, the fix will come in the way of an over-the-air update this weekend and customers needn't do anything but wait a few days and accept the update.*

Tesla an**unced the "recall" in an email sent to customers Wednesday, first reported by CarAdvice (http://www.caradvice.com.au/557281/tesla-model-x-recalled-due-to-potential-passenger-airbag-failure/).*
"Although we’re **t aware of a single customer car that has had an issue with it, there was an a**maly with the passenger airbag in a right-hand-drive Model*X that was part of routine internal tests this week. After reviewing the results of this test, we were able to isolate the a**maly to the software controlling the passenger airbags in right-hand-drive Model*X cars only, and we are already developing an over-the-air software update that fixes it," the email said.* Read more...
