I work in software, I have seen many fuck ups. I have seen fuck ups that cost people jobs and the company lots of money. I have NEVER seen a company brick their own fleet in one update
Truly an amount of ‘Tism that only WSB or my brother could beat
My kid’s $400 baby monitor camera did it last year. Sent an OTA update that bricked every camera. They had to send every customer a brand new one to fix the issue.
Company went bankrupt as a result. That made the $400 monitor a paperweight without cloud services needed to see the camera on your phone. Company assets were purchased by another entity who restarted cloud services with a $15/month fee when there was no fee previously.
One person’s fat finger error caused the company to bankrupt and tens of thousands of customers to lose functionality of their expensive baby monitor.

It didn’t impact many vehicles, to be fair. Definitely not their entire fleet
Lexus did it to the GPS once.
