Yesterday investigated an MP70 that basically factory reset itself randomly in our fleet.
The Logs start alternating between correct Date/Time and a Jan 1 00:00:00 time starting October 16th.
When I investigated it the device had lost all WiFi settings, all APN settings and had reset its local account login password back to the factory issued password.
The week before I had another MP70 reset its WiFi broadcast SSID to its default device name - again randomly.
Do I need to run a firmware update on all my devices? Any other advice?

Logs for when the Jan 1 logs start. I see no crash, just syslog-ng starts up randomly:
