The radio in your vehicle is a critical part that connects to your car's computer. In some 2013-2015 models, the software controlling this system has vulnerabilities that could let hackers access your car's systems remotely.
Risk if Unfixed
If hackers exploit these weaknesses, they could take control of critical systems like your brakes, steering, or engine, which could cause a crash.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will provide a free software update on a USB drive to fix these security flaws. You can also download the update from a designated website or have it installed at your dealer. The repair is completely free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.

Exploitation of the software vulnerability may result in unauthorized remote modification and control of certain vehicle systems, increasing the risk of a crash.

Chrysler will notify and mail affected owners a USB drive that includes a software update that eliminates the vulnerability, free of charge. Optionally, owners may download the update to their own USB drive from http://www.driveuconnect.com/software-update/ or take their vehicle to a Chrysler dealer for immediate installation. In an effort to mitigate the effects of this security vulnerability, Chrysler has had the wireless service provider close the open cellular connection to the vehicle that provided unauthorized access to the vehicle network. This measure may not have been implemented on all vehicles and does not address access by other means that will be remedied by the software update. The recall began on August 25, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is R40.
