Mushroom - strut tower issue

I'm very frustrated about this car right now that I've found that it has this "mushrooming" issue and no warranty will cover it... The strut tower damaged the metal that holds it... The metal sheet that holds the strut tower is too weak for this car!! That is a Factory's defect, they have to fix it!
I'd like to know how an issue like this doesn't ahve a Factory's recall yet? How nobody do anything about it? Why we have to pay extra money buying aftermarket pieces to fix this issue. Is a Factory's defect of the car, they have to fix it. Their excuse is that they wouldn't cover this kind of things because they are consider as abuse of the car... A hard hit or something like that, but the point here is that the sheet metal is too weak and they need to fix it!
Is any way we can get this issue as a recall?

Thanks
