ABS module is defective after 7 years, there have been many reports and very expensive to fix, why hasn’t Honda made this a recall?

Exterior Lighting Aug 2018
Will be replacing the driver side light bucket to remedy an LED strip that is partially out. It has been out for about 2 months now. This on a 2016 accord with 43k miles. The dealership has agreed to replace it for $200. Honda sees this as a maintenance item, not covered under…
