Wow a recall over the font being too small? That's kind of weird. If you can't see small letters while driving maybe you shouldn't be driving.

But as others here have said this isn't really a recall... Soooo yeah

Yea, the government never, ever, ever has outdated definitions, and moves sluggishly in relation to changing technology.

It's not outdated. When the government makes you fix your product, it's a recall. No matter how trivial it is.

For critical safety information/warnings, I’m on the side of the authorities here. Same reason that emergency stops on machinery should have clear, contrasting colours.
If it were about the font size for the clock or the AC, I’d be on your side, though.
