It essentially says immediate recall .. to take it to nearest stealers$it due to CARB and they need to 'make it more secure' via ecm recall and updates.

That vehicle is paid for, it does not have to adhere to that absolute bulls$it. As far as the owner is concerned, they said that nisaan can pry that ecu out of their cold de&^%ad hands.

I guess someone somewhere finally figured out that the (diesel version) nissan engines were not locked out, and were wide open for anyone to do anything they want with them, unlike the dodge pickups were. I guess they now want to go back and retroactively fix this...lol.

Yes the vehicle is paid for. It should be up to the owner to decide what he or she does. But the big corporations are leaning that since the car has lots of software you need to accept the terms and conditions of their "EULA".

Luckily as of now there is no monthly subscription to use the ECM software on cars yet...

Around here in Europe if you refuse to have those recall software updates done to "your" car then car will not pass regular inspection anymore and it would be illegal to drive the vehicle on public roads until you get that software updated. If you go to dealership to get update done you MUST sign papers that tell, that they bear absolutely ZERO responsibility if ECM gets bricked or something else of that kind happens.

And all the hype of AI nowadays, most likely governments are going to use it for surveillance. 1984 is going to be the reality sooner than later.
