I wouldn’t expect them to recall. More likely that it will void all warranties and if you ever bring it to a dealership for anything they lock it and charge you for it. Or they go the DRM route and force cars to be always online to verify the software, and going offline locks out those extra features. Also possibly pushing for laws making hacking obscenely punishable.

Why would they charge a customer for a hack? It’s not like the customer has any control over the software/firmware the company uses?
To be fair I’m imagining the worst outcomes possible, but they certainly wouldn’t let the vehicle leave with the hack in place I’d imagine.
