Shock Land Rover Discovery: Sellers could meddle with connected cars if not unbound

Re: Ho hum

One, dealers CAN be forced into repair stuff by the manufacturer, on pain of lawsuits, etc. That's how recall campaigns are conducted. If the manufacturer is under legal onus, they can pass the onus onto the dealer, money or no.

Two, without knowledge of who bought the car, how can the manufacturer change the owner of the car. Also, things get lost in the mail all the time. A forced reset is bound to draw lawyers.
