In that case you issue a recall, which is the correct way of dealing with potentially fatal manufacturing defects.

Which will be costly. Also, it does not guarantee the user will return your car, right?
It should be costly. You want to encourage companies to make better/safer products that have been well tested. The whole “Move quick and break things” is from the perspective of a completely nonessential social media service. They have no consequences when they break things, although even that has changed as every minute of downtime is lost revenue. Self inflicted financial pain is completely acceptable, if they choose to take that path. Car companies should not.
Yeah, but the user will be liable for not returning the vehicle under a recall.
As for cost, surely you can ask Ford's lawyers who worked there in the 70s to give you a good calculation on life vs recall costs.
Just issuing a recall is not enough. There are countless reasons why someone does not return the product: They maybe simple not know, and there is no way to reach them.
That is why Samsung push update to disable note 7 even after recalling them.
