I think using the term for a software update is abusing the language a bit. And may confuse people who have a real recall where the thing has to go to the dealer.
Yes, "recall" brings to mind serious issues like the gas tank exploding on the Ford Pinto.
I had one for my car because the airbag inflators were starting to go off more like a hand grenade than as intended.
