This is a terrible decision. On such a short timescale, they'll only be able to fix the particular bug in their infotainment system. The real problem as everyone has pointed out is that the car control and infotainment should not share channels. There should be a physical gap between them and if really necessary a very tightly controlled message bridge.
The real fix will require much more intervention than just a firmware flash at the garage.
We'll see at Def Con how much Chrysler really screwed up.
