Over-the-Air Updates Cut Recall Costs

21 May 2026

An OEM resolved a software-related campaign over the air instead of through workshop visits, sharply reducing campaign cost and customer disruption.

The campaign closed in a fraction of the time and cost of a physical recall, with telemetry confirming successful deployment per vehicle.
