How do you recover when you launch the wrong thing?

I am not sure what you mean by the 'wrong thing', but I assume the launch did not meet customer or market expectations. If so, then you need to revisit your flawed product strategy. Are you targeting the correct market; do you understand what it takes to win in the market; are you maniacally focused on achieving the desired results. Your roadmap is a reflection of the your product strategy.

Thank you, well said!

Who made the call to launch? I've launched the wrong thing many a time, usually because some senior leader is convinced it's the right call with no evidence to back it up.
