I was thinking earlier, on the basis of absolutely zero knowledge, despite this being the right thing to do could there maybe also be an insurance reason? In that, there'd be a clause more favourable financially for a complete recall/write-off than the logistic nightmare of repairs or retrofitting new subassemblies. Just a guess.
I'm glad they're taking responsibility, these are small family carriers. Safety should be #1. But the cynic in me says they can't be totally selfless. Happy to be put right, however.
