    I have a 2016 Prius. I’ve never needed to download a software update. Somehow Toyota could handle making a hybrid without it being necessary.

        So an optional update rather than one you have to do because of a recall, the thing we’re talking about? Because otherwise this seems like a “technically” sort of gotcha.

      Counterpoint is that this recall can be done OTA instead of requiring you to make an appointment and visit a dealership which is a million times more convenient. Your car has had recalls too.
