> The electric car maker said about 2% of the 53,000 vehicles built from February to October 2016 were affected, but all of those cars are being recalled

That's 1,060 cars altogether are affected.

That's misleading. All 53,000 vehicles need to be inspected, but Tesla expects ~1000 vehicles to have problem.

Source: I received recall notice.

They know the size of the affected batch (translated: their supplier knows), but have to recall nearly a year of production because they have absolutely no idea which cars the parts ended up in? Sound kind of disorganized, good luck at scaling.
