That's mostly what they are doing - a software update to throw a code and force the car into limp-home mode when it detects a fuel leak. They are also adding drain pipe to direct leaking fuel away from likely ignition sources.

They are not replacing the dodgy fuel injectors that are the cause of the problem.
