On reading the memos, it indicates "pursuant to 49 CFR..." The government requires manufacturers to notify them - they can't just quietly do a recall without notifying them. I'm sure there are other legal requirements too. It's one of the many reasons that doing business in the US is costly, and can often appear to be slow...
