If a problem is discovered with a product or a car you bought you will receive a recall letter, you will not see your car towed away.
While I understand your point here, I'd like to take a moment and play Devil's Advocate: If you trust Microsoft to make a device you place all of your private information into, why wouldn't you trust them to remove a malicious application that may be messing with or stealing that information? We're often skeptical about the "intentions" of big companies, yet by using their products we take a trusting stance initially.
