A bad third-party data update for Toyota/Lexus Enform infotainment software caused head units in some 2014–2016 Lexus and 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser vehicles to restart repeatedly, disabling navigation, air conditioning, radio, Bluetooth and other features; owners reported widespread outages and dealers are performing forced resets to clear the errant data while Lexus investigates. The company attributes the issue to improperly handled data from a traffic/weather provider rather than confirmed malicious activity, though observers noted the incident highlights risks in over-the-air updates and input-handling weaknesses in vehicle software.
