The company's cars use the integrated UConnect system, which is clearly susceptible to a full remote hijacking.
Affected vehicles all have an 8.4-inch touchscreen and are from the following families of vehicles:
2013-2015 MY Dodge Viper specialty vehicles
2013-2015 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups
2013-2015 Ram 3500, 4500, 5500 Chassis Cabs
2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Cherokee SUVs
2014-2015 Dodge Durango SUVs
2015 MY Chrysler 200, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans
2015 Dodge Challenger sports coupes
Chrysler says anyone affected will receive a USB device that they can use to upgrade their vehicle's software, on that "provides additional security features independent of the network-level measures."
