Yes, all the time. They're called "airworthiness directives" and you can find them all here: https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/airworthiness_directives/ https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/airworthiness_direc...
They're basically like car recalls: You take the plane to maintenance and they swap out the bad doodad. Boeing had a very public one like this with the 787 batteries when it first launched; they made some changes and now it's an incredibly popular plane. But in general, they're happening all the time for basically every plane, just not catching much public attention.
