It's not even a secret. Almost all modern cars do as part of remote service packages. It's what let's you ask them to unlock your car, do remote start via a phone app, or let's the police request a remote shutdown of a stolen car.

Fix that by disconnecting the cellular antenna in the car and the telematics unit. You may need a bypass harness on some modern cars that "responds" to connectivity pings in the car's canbus, but otherwise you can't kill what's not connected. :3
