In response to increasing and persistent thefts targeting certain Hyundai vehicles without push-button ignitions and immobilizing anti-theft devices, Hyundai has introduced a free anti-theft software upgrade for affected customers.
All of the nearly 4 million vehicles involved are now eligible to receive the software upgrade.
Hyundai is notifying affected customers of the software upgrade and facilitating the scheduling of installation appointments through a combination of direct mail, phone, targeted digital advertising and social media. Our goal is to get every one of these vehicles into a dealership for the software upgrade.
For those customers who are having difficulty securing and sustaining auto insurance as a result of the criminal activity targeting Hyundai vehicles, we have collaborated with AAA insurers to offer insurance options in most states. Visit AAA.com/insurance to receive a quote. Learn more.
Hyundai is making steering wheel locks available to affected customers through a reimbursement program or through distribution via hundreds of law enforcement agencies across the country. Engine immobilizers are now standard on all Hyundai vehicles produced as of November 2021.
