An extended warranty would not have eliminated the safety aspect of the potential stall. If it was just a matter of cost they would probably not have done a recall at all and if it broke out of warranty it would be the owner's problem. It was made a recall because of the safety issue if it stalled at speed.
The TOB is a good example of a known problem where they cover under warranty but it is your problem after the warranty is up. The same would have applied to the springs. They are not going to extend the warranty because they know something may break.
