Shouldn't Asus recall their handset as this seems to be a common problem and not particularly to an individual phone ?

For shutdown issues, the moderators here say to go to the service centre and have it diagnosed there.

I don't think they care. This is a well known issue. I myself had this and yes a LOT of ROG II users have the same issue all over the world. However you won't find a single article, or any kind of acknowledgement from ASUS. First this issue was reported around June of 2020 . As you can see its been more than a year and hardly anybody that doesn't own a ROG II is aware of this. At ASUS Future sales > Existing customers. You will see a lot of useless articles pinned on the front page of Zentalk but not a single mentions the above issuse.
Here's an example of an actual smartphone comapny addressing a widespread issue:

True. Only way to teach such brands a lesson is to give them negative publicity through your social media platform. Just post a message and tell people to avoid asus brand completely; whether it would be phones, laptops etc. A couple of people recently took my opinion while buying laptops and I told them to completely avoid asus and diverted them to hp, dell etc.
I am pretty sure if this attitude of company continues, soon asus will be like htc.
Regarding the problem, i have been facing this problem from 2-3 months now but was managing it in hope that it will be fixed through update... About a week back bcz of this issue, my whole android system got corrupted and so i had to perform a factory reset. Lost several of my important files. It happened while charging. What i have understood is that this is happening bcz during fast charging, the phone gets heated and this results in phone shutdown. To tackle this problem what i am doing now is using my old oneplus 3t charger which doesn't causes much heating but charges slow...When i have to do fast charging, i keep the phone above a little wet cloth and fan which absorbs the heat thus the phone remains stable. I am using armoury crate to monitor phone temperature.
I think the company can fix this through software update but it is not willing to do it even after thousands of people are facing this issue. The company should go to youtube and check comments under videos where people are offering possible fix for this problem; then you will realise the severity of this problem.
p.s. - ignore typos, i am filled with frustration r8 now.
