We have safety standards for a reason. Details are important, especially in dangerous equipment like cars and airplanes.
Sure, the NHTSA did the right thing. The NY Post, on the other hand...
The solution to many recalls these days is a software update. Cars are becoming computers with wheels...

Yeah, I can’t believe so many words are spilled in an article over such a nothing burger… well I can believe it but it’s sad. I’m just as much of a Tesla critic as anyone I’d say but this is really a reach.
If it's become as formal as a recall, it's worth at least noting. Sure, the fix is simple (and most folks won't even notice), but Tesla was still forced into making the fix.

Because the articles don't make it super obvious in the headline that it's a software update.
The solution for many recalls these days is quite often a software update. No, what's notable is Tesla was forced to issue the update. This probably has consequences for Tesla beyond some bandwidth.
We need a term other than "recall" for minor software changes. The headline makes it sound like 2.2mm vehicles are going to be scheduling service appointments to fix this.
Additionally, other "recalls" for other car companies may similarly be minor software changes. The only distinguishing factor with Tesla is OTA deployment.

Are there standards for touch screen UI elements?
"The agency [NHTSA] says that the brake, park and anti-lock brake warning lights have a smaller font size than required by federal safety standards."

Ya there is a bunch of missing information from the headline... thats why there is an article, to talk about it.
We both know most people don't hence the journalistic integrity required to write a headline properly conveying the severity which is "It ain't shit."

That’s an editor or sub-editor’s domain.
Another massive recall... to increase the font size on some icons on their UI. That's it. That's all there is to the recall.
Can I use this at my dayjob? “Boss, it’s Friday… do we really want to recall our mobile version affecting all 10 million MAU?” But I just asked if we can make the fonts bigger on mobile?

Do you believe NHTSA forcing Tesla to fix a safety issue is not worth calling out, in particular to TSLA shareholders? The solution to many recalls these days is a software update. Cars are becoming computers with wheels...
