Description of the problem	About 6 months ago my media control unit (mcu) and touchscreen failed, requiring a replacement. I just read an article that you are investigating these failures and wanted to give you some more examples if desired. As you probably well know, it sounds like a common problem. Before replacement, not all vehicle functionality and settings were available, and the mcu could no longer get software updates, which tesla personnel stated would eventually be a safety concern.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
