What type of fucking "safety" update could be performed?
If the car has a recall or safety issue with the suspension part failing prematurely, what possibly could some software nonsense do?

I think Chrysler does it too, but I only find mention of the time they bricked a bunch of Wranglers with a bad OTA update.
Broadly I don't think it's hard to imagine a software update being safety critical if the software is used in a safety critical system.
