A recall is a bit more severe than am update. Common, but not simply pushing out a software update they couldve done wirelessly.

It means they have been regulated for a severe safety defect and are being forced to do this.

It will be done wirelessly. They're just legally required to call this a "recall" because automotive legislation was written before OTA updates were a thing.
