This does not augur well for India. More like:

Has there ever been such a recall of F-16s?

Not that I am aware of. There may have been for certain F-15 variants when they were still flying but they were flying for so long, too.

We?
Obama believes that war planes are very bad.
They create a large carbon footprint in manufacture and operation and they hurt people.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) operates over 60 MiG-29s as "all-weather air-superiority fighters". No problem.

Can’t we sell India the F-18? Maybe, but I suspect the Indians view the US as market of last resort, due to unreliability.

F-18’s have short range and require in-air refueling...not entirely appropriate for India’s vast size and topography and budget and infrastructure.
F-15’s and F-16’s would be a better fit...neighboring Pakistan shares much of the same terrain (e.g. long hostile distances between airports) and loves the F-16.
The F-35 would be appropriate for India, as well...if a bit pricey.

Maybe, but I suspect the Indians view the US as market of last resort, due to unreliability. I assume you mean unreliability of supply. If I was an Indian pilot I would be more concerned about aircraft reliability that supply unreliability.
