Wikipedia has

>A product recall is a request from a manufacturer to return a product after the discovery of safety issues...

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.
