Most don't as dealerships are very reluctant to perform software updates on the vehicle unless they have a specific TSB telling them to do it.

Mainly because the dealership can't update just a single thing (like the CIC). Their programming system will force them to update every single module in the vehicle that it detects isn't running the most current firmware version.

So it makes them nervous because you could request an update for the navigation system but something goes wrong when the programming system updates the DME (engine module) because it was old and fails for some reason.
