Exterior Lighting problem #1

My car went dead while driving. Took to the shop and said there was a "software update/recall" that caused the car to use more oil than normal and I was driving with no oil!!!!! this "recall" update had been released "6 days ago" per my Dodge/Chrysler dealership. Why is this recall not here? sounds very strange to me.

Exterior Lighting problem #2

When the running lights and headlights are set to auto, moving the lever to high beam causes the lights to go out. I have been asking the dealer and trying to find a solution since buying the car new, but no recall had been issued for my VIN and the dealer will not correct the problem with a recall specific to my VIN and year/model. There is a known issue with the Smart lighting module that prevents the high beam from activating and shuts off the headlight in the auto position, and a software update has been issued for the newer models, but not for the 2018 Cherokee with the same software.
