If you own a 2015 Jeep Renegade, you might need to patch your software.
Late Friday, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) announced that they are conducting a voluntary recall of 7,810 2015 Jeep Renegades equipped with 6.5-inch touchscreen radios for a hacking vulnerability.
This comes a little over a month after FCA recalled 1.4 Million vehicles equipped with its Uconnect infotainment system for a remote hacking risk.
In a statement, FCA said this risk isn't related to the recent hacking recall, since exploiting the vulnerability would require a physical connection with the car.
"The company hasn't seen any cases of this issue outside of its own testing and it's only issuing a recall "out of an abundance of caution."
FCA said it found the vulnerability itself and it was not brought to the company by outside researchers.
