Note there's nothing wrong with the vehicle, it's the user's manual
that's defective.

They don't really take the vehicles back in a recall. You just
schedule an appointment with the dealer you bought it from for the
fix.

Agreed. Sloppy journalism; just because the NHTSA website is called "Defects
and Recalls", the individual wanted to hilite the issue. The person would do
well this side of The Pond working for one of our "gutter press" that
specialise in sensationalism. "Don't let the facts get in the way of a good
story".
