Aren't usually recalls mostly for cases where it would cause personal injuries and as such the damages to the company are far bigger than not doing the recall.

Yeah it's probably a risk/damages calculation. But imagine if WD had simply recalled all affected devices. Might mitigate some of the PR damage?
