Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV’s U.S. arm will recall 7, 810 SUVs to update software to prevent hacking.

This follows the recall of 1.4 million vehicles just other month.

Cybersecurity researchers used the Internet to turn off a car’s engine as it drove, escalating concerns about the safety of Internet-connected vehicles.

FCA said on Friday that it was unaware of any injuries related to software exploitation.

The recalled vehicles include 2015 Jeep Renegade SUVs equipped with 6.5-inch touchscreens.

FCA said that more than half of the recalled vehicles remain with dealers and will be serviced before they are sold.
