When my special ordered '22 Bronco finally arrived for sale Ford was required to complete a safety recall to correct for an improperly installed windshield. The Ford dealership could not sell me the Bronco until the windshield was repaired. All new Broncos under the span of the recall (build date range) were subject to a "stop sale".

Agree. Stop sale seems like a reasonable analogy. Honda has a seat belt-related recall on the CR-V (maybe other models) and a person I know has not had the recall done (yet).
