Recall Compensation

I have a dehumidifier that I paid $200 for that I use regularly.  How can Sears recall this and offer $100?  It is not my fault they are recalling the appliance. I thought they would have to either refund what I paid or repair for free.  Auto companies don't make you surrender your car when a recall is issued - they fix the problem.  What are my options?
