3G Recall?

classj · 04-19-2023, 09:10 AM

The dealer called today mentioning a "recall" on my CS for a telematics recall. She said it could be just software or involve hardware as well.

My car is an early 2021 build. January I think.

I assume they are talking about the below. My issue is that the connected drive is still 100% functional, so I don't understand how it could be on 3G.

I searched and did not see a conclusion. How many folks have gone through with this change. Its hard to swallow having changes made to a car that is running perfectly.

I have the car in for service and I was notified the same. It’s a software update to phase out 3G. It shouldn’t affect drivability in any way.

This isn't about 3G, your car already has an LTE-capable combox. It's about a bug that causes voice over LTE to not function for an emergency call. Software-only fix, no additional hardware required. Discussed here..

OK thanks. Sounds like I am going to pass but will see. The less I see the dealer the better.
