Fiat Chrysler Releases Software Update For Vehicle Electronic Security

AUBURN HILLS – On Thursday, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ Embedded System Quality Engineering team released a Technical Service Bulletin for a software update that offers customers improved vehicle electronic security and communications system enhancements.

Similar to a smartphone or tablet, vehicle software can require updates for improved security protection to reduce the potential risk of unauthorized and unlawful access to vehicle systems. Thursday’s software security update, provided at no cost to customers, also includes Uconnect improvements introduced in the 2015 model year designed to enhance customer convenience and enjoyment of their vehicle.

Customers can either download and install this particular update themselves or, if preferred, their dealer can complete this one-time update at no cost to customers.

Customers with questions may call Vehicle Care at 1-877-855-8400.
