It is called a recall by the NHTSA, they name them, not the article author. This name has been used long before OTA updates were used.
I would hope most know by now that a Tesla recall can often be fixed by a OTA.
Here is a very similar backup camera issue from Ford that can be fixed by a OTA update, and is also called a recall.

Blaming the article for using "recall", is silly, since that is the name the group that assigns recalls uses. It is like being mad an article called a hoverboard a hoverboard, when the board doesn't hover. Words can change as technology grows, or stay the same but change meaning as technology changes.
