Also in consumer products in general. Here is a list of recalls from the Consumer Products Safety Commission for example [1].
Sometimes the remedy is to take the product to a dealer to be fixed. Sometimes it is an OTA update. Sometimes it is that the manufacturer will send a repairperson to your home to fix the problem. Sometimes it is a non-OTA update (e.g., there was one for a Samsung washer a while back where if your model didn't have WiFi they would send you a dongle to plug in that would install the update).
