Think about how much it would cost them to a) get the devices back from retail, b) open the packaging, attached each individual device and reflash it and c) repackage the device, likely in at least partially new packaging. I'd find it hard to believe that that economics of doing that is going to be worthwhile. Worst case scenario if this came back it's going to affect people that unable or unwilling to use wifi to get an update over wifi to fix it. That will be a pretty small subsset of the devices they'd have to recall and even if they have to swap devices for those people it's would be a lot cheaper in the long run.
