Try years. For example the 2020 Takata airbag recall... wouldn't be surprised if there's still a hundred million cars around the world that haven't been recalled. If you don't live in a first world country, it wasn't even possible to get parts for the fix until recently.
Even if the fix was smaller, there aren't enough mechanics in the world to check/update/test a significant percentage of cars quickly, and manufacturers share components so that can easily happen.
And the biggest time sink for a recall is often not the repair, it's all the time spent with humans scheduling/testing/documenting the recall. Only way to speed that up is with automation/OTA updates.
