Dodge is recalling its electric Charger Daytona for an amusing reason rooted in software rather than hardware. Discussing the car like a computer or smartphone feels oddly appropriate, since the new EV has more in common with those devices than its gas-powered predecessor.

The software-based fix highlights how thoroughly modern vehicles have become rolling computers. While the issue may sound trivial compared to mechanical defects, it reflects the new realities of owning a car defined as much by code as by horsepower.
