Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Some Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler vehicles have a weak spot in the car radio’s software. A hacker could use this to get into other parts of the car.

What's happening? The car maker has found this problem and is sending out a fix. Until the fix is done, the car is at risk of being taken over by someone else.

Does this affect me? If you own or drive one of these vehicles in Germany, the Netherlands or the UK, your car could be affected.

What should I do? Take your car to a dealer right away to get the free software update. Ask your dealer or a mechanic if you are not sure.
