SOME 2013-2015 MY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SPECIFIC RADIOS HAVE CERTAIN SOFTWARE SECURITY VULNERABILITIES WHICH COULD ALLOW UNAUTHORIZED THIRD-PARTY ACCESS TO SOME NETWORKED VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEMS. A SUCCESSFUL EXPLOIT OF THIS SECURITY VULNERABILITY COULD RESULT IN UNAUTHORIZED REMOTE MODIFICATION AND CONTROL OF VEHICLE SYSTEMS. FCA US HAS NOT MADE A DETERMINATION THAT THIS SECURITY VULNERABILITY CONSTITUTES A DEFECT. ALTHOUGH FCA US HAS NOT DETERMINED THAT A DEFECT EXISTS, IT HAS DECIDED TO CONDUCT A REMEDIAL CAMPAIGN AS A SAFETY RECALL IN THE INTEREST OF PROTECTING ITS CUSTOMERS. EXPLOITATION OF THE SOFTWARE SECURITY VULNERABILITIES COULD LEAD TO EXPOSING THE DRIVER, THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL OR VEHICLE WITH PROXIMITY TO THE AFFECTED VEHICLE TO A POTENTIAL RISK OF INJURY.

CUSTOMERS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL WILL RECEIVE A USB DRIVE WHICH THEY MAY USE TO UPGRADE VEHICLE SOFTWARE, PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SECURITY FEATURES INDEPENDENT OF THE NETWORK-LEVEL MEASURES. ALTERNATELY, CUSTOMERS MAY VISIT
HTTP://WWW.DRIVEUCONNECT.COM/SOFTWARE-UPDATE/
TO INPUT THEIR VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (VINS) AND DETERMINE IF THEIR VEHICLES ARE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IF SO, THEY MAY DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE THEMSELVES, OR VISIT THEIR DEALERS, WHERE TECHNICIANS WILL PERFORM THE INSTALLATION. THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THE SOFTWARE OR, IN THE CASE OF DEALER VISIT, INSTALLATION. INCOMPLETE BUT REPAIR PARTS ARE AVAILABLE SUBMIT REIMBURSEMENT

just put the file on the USB (& put other files into folders on your USB - it says to empty the USB, I did not)

stick it in the USB slot & wait a bit, it will run automatically, (none of the directions matched what my radio displayed)

THEN there is a sequence at the end (reboot it twice), print out that single page if you want.

it's a no brainer.
