Recently, it was disclosed that hackers were able to remotely shut down various Fiat Chrysler vehicles.  Hackers exploited the weakness in the Uconnect infotainment system to remotely disable the cars and trucks. 

Now the other shoe has dropped.  Fiat Chrysler recently admitted it has known of this flaw in its vehicles since January 2014, but it did not report this to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.  Fiat Chrysler justified keeping this information from NHTSA by claiming this was not a safety concern.  NHTSA disagreed, and ordered the recall of 1.4 million cars and trucks.

This concealment comes on the heels of NHTSA's $105 million fine of Fiat Chrysler for botching nearly two dozen recalls.
