When intel had the floating point division hardware bug they recalled chips. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_FDIV_bug
I wonder if intel will do something like that again or if the industry as a whole is more tolerant of unreliable / buggy behavior and will just live with it. Examples of Apple just telling people that the poor reception strength was their own fault / changing software to hide problems / etc.
If you read the link you'll see they've fixed it with a microcode update.
