Was brought up in the Tesla Luda mode thread. The problem is they tied in the internet 4g crap into the vehicles CANBUS network. Basically allowing access to everything from the outside if you were smart enough to know how to do it. Make the systems totally sepearate from each other in the future and the problem is solved.
i don't think recalls scare the general public from buying cars whatsoever.
They can overboost your engine till it blows!!! At least that's the story I would stick to.
I mean people still buy fords.
Scratching my head with this comment. I don't believe Ford has recalled even half of the vehicles GM has. And I believe Honda and Toyota have recalled more vehicles than Ford. I have no factual numbers to back up this claim, it's just what I've heard. Someone that actually cares can fact check
Also, anyone that buys a Chrysler product deserves whatever pain they get! :smile:

Ford has two of the largest automotive recalls ever. The park to reverse recall plus the massive ignition switch one.
July 24, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is conducting a voluntary safety recall to update software in approximately 1,400,000 U.S. vehicles equipped with certain radios.
The recall aligns with an ongoing software distribution that insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation, which, if unauthorized, constitutes criminal action.
Further, FCA US has applied network-level security measures to prevent the type of remote manipulation demonstrated in a recent media report. These measures – which required no customer or dealer actions – block remote access to certain vehicle systems and were fully tested and implemented within the cellular network on July 23, 2015.
The Company is unaware of any injuries related to software exploitation, nor is it aware of any related complaints, warranty claims or accidents – independent of the media demonstration.
Affected are certain vehicles equipped with 8.4-inch touchscreens among the following populations:
2013-2015 MY Dodge Viper specialty vehicles
2013-2015 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups
2013-2015 Ram 3500, 4500, 5500 Chassis Cabs
2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Cherokee SUVs
2014-2015 Dodge Durango SUVs
2015 MY Chrysler 200, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans
2015 Dodge Challenger sports coupes
Customers affected by the recall will receive a USB device that they may use to upgrade vehicle software, which provides additional security features independent of the network-level measures. Alternately, customers may visit Uconnect® Software Update - Update your Uconnect® System to input their Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) and determine if their vehicles are included in the recall.
The security of FCA US customers is a top priority, as is retaining their confidence in the Company’s products. Accordingly, FCA US has established a dedicated System Quality Engineering team focused on identifying and implementing best practices for software development and integration.
The software manipulation addressed by this recall required unique and extensive technical knowledge, prolonged physical access to a subject vehicle and extended periods of time to write code.
No defect has been found. FCA US is conducting this campaign out of an abundance of caution.
Customers are urged to acquire the software update. Those with questions or concerns may call the FCA US Customer Care Center at 1-800-853-1403.
