In the summer of 2015, two hackers used the Uconnect feature on a 2015 Jeep Cherokee to remotely access the vehicles CAN network. They were able to control vital vehicle functions in a way similar to what we do when executing bidirectional controls. And I don't mean just turning on the lights or changing a radio station -these hackers were able to kill the engine while the driver was motoring down the freeway at 70 mph from 10 miles away. This highlighted a major weakness, not just in what is now Stellantis products, but one common to most major manufacturers. What enabled the access was the vehicle's connection to the internet via its connection to the cellular network. Almost immediately, Stellantis, or FCA at the time, issued a recall to address the issue but a more permanent fix was added in many 2018 models and all models in their line in 2019. |
