Is anyone else getting a weird popup when they turn their car on? RE: "privacy notice on www.%vehicleMake%connected.com"

[EVCheese]

I'm used to seeing a privacy notice popup when the car starts up. But recently I've been seeing new words:

Vehicle Location, Driving Data (e.g. usage info) and/or Vehicle Data (e.g. diagnostics) sharing active. Automatic Software Updates may also be "On". See Settings to adjust and for info. Learn more in the privacy notice on www.%vehicleMake%connected.com.​

There is of course no www.%vehicleMake%connected.com.
There is however www.fordconnected.com.

Anyone else getting this?

I see this message every now and then. The message does not stay up long enough to get a photo or to read the entire message. Not clear how it makes sense to have messages that clear before you can read them.

If your device is connected (android auto or Apple CarPlay) within the first 15-30 seconds, you don't get the message. I'm not sure why having the phone connected bypasses the message, but that is the catalyst.

This feels like someone made a typo in a recent OTA update.

Nah, that’s a variable which they likely didn’t describe as a variable rather as it takes it as a string. Syntax error
