What should they do in the case that they shipped a software defect that in some circumstances leads to physical damage of a circuit board?

The "overstress condition" being detected probably indicates that the steering is drawing more than the expected amount of current due to damaged components on the circuit board.

Prior to the overseas regulator issuing a recall, it seems they were happy to not worry about it (they updated the software used in vehicles produced after the fault was identified but apparently had not issued an update to previously produced vehicles).
