I think since Ford is sending the upgrade USB sticks directly to customers it would now be quite easy for someone with malicious intent to send out fake "upgrade" USB sticks to unsuspecting Ford owners.

I'd be very surprised if a system like that doesn't check a signature before applying an update.
