The non-computer analog for bug fixes is product recalls. I point out that recalling defective hardware is hideously expensive; so much so that even after widespread public outcry, it often requires lawsuits or government intervention to motivate action.
As for the reporting channel, my guess is warranty claims? Physical things come with guarantees that they will not fail in unexpected ways. Although I notice that there isn’t much of a parallel for bug searches at the physical level.
