As a company, you NEVER admit to problems; this opens you up to lawsuits, class-action ones that can end up costing hundreds of millions.
They leave it up to a court to decide if there was a problem.
I think the closest you get to an admission of fault is the language used in recalls, and even in those the language will be carefully chosen and reviewed by lawyers. They will NEVER say anything like "the battery in this product has ballooned up and exploded, grounding planes and burning children". At best they go "There may be an issue with the battery in this product", and that's not even the language they use, just what I vaguely remember.
