"It prompted Chrysler to recall 1.4 million vehicles and mail customers a USB drive with a software fix."

As noted in article, because dropping a USB key in the mail saying "hello, stick this into your...um, car and install this" is not a vulnerability at all. I sure hope the updates are at least signed (and that whatever system applies the updates actually checks the signature). "Who cares, just paper over the current wart, don't worry about anything beyond that."
