You missed some points

1. This is only in the UK, they are not doing the same in the US

2. Recalls are the responsibility of the manufacturer. Security lapses, even if "up to standards" at the time are not a legitimate exemption (imo)

In the automotive industry, pretty much the whole point of standards like cybersecurity (ISO21434) and functional safety (ISO26262) is to let the manufacturer claim in court that they followed “modern best practices” and therefore are not liable when something goes wrong.
