That might just create yet more problems. You can't just plug a new CPU into your motherboard--it has to match the socket, chipset, memory, installed OS, etc.

And how would they replace the bad part when a good one doesn't exist?

Doesn't this affect all of their CPUs going a long way back? And how do you recall embedded or laptop CPUs, which are often soldered in-place?
A recall would be great, but there's no way they'd be able to do it. Vehicle recalls are a bit different because they impact physical safety. Digital safety doesn't get the same priority.

Well if they didn't change the socket every year...
Realistically though, they might be able to do it for cpu's that aren't soldered on (think just about every laptop) made in the last year or two, but would they really fab new versions of 10 year old cores? Its not like many of those lines are even running anymore, so they would basically have to redesign/layout and reverify everything.
Probably easier/cheaper just to send everyone a new machine.

#7What was the problem?
All the notes say is that 109 fixes it.

With money, and a handwritten apology soaked in the tears of their C-levels?
Or just the money actually. If you can’t replace my broken item, a refund is always appreciated.

How about they go into bankruptcy with most of the world’s computer users as their creditors? Maybe not, but it’s terrifying that you can avoid responsibility by fucking up on a larger scale than most.
