Fiat Chrysler Recalls 1.4m Vehicles to Patch Wireless Vulnerability

Fiat Chrysler issued a mandatory recall and software update for approximately 1.4 million late-model vehicles after researchers demonstrated remote wireless exploits against the Uconnect connected-car platform that could manipulate braking, steering, and acceleration; owners will receive USB update devices or can visit dealers for installation, and FCA applied network-level mitigations while emphasizing that the patch raises the bar but does not make vehicles unhackable.
