The manufacturer needs to issue a recall in that case. They can't have their cake and then eat it too. Either the update is not critical and should not be generally available or it is critical and they should inform their users with the proper framing.
The original software will always have bugs in it, and those bugs will need correction. Software updates to fix/enhance it will also introduce new bugs.
The idea that one can create complex bug-free software is a fantasy. The correct mindset is to learn how to deal with failure. (This is how airliners are designed.)
