About this case
A class action lawsuit brought by 36 states alleged that certain Kia and Hyundai vehicles lacked industry-standard engine immobilizers, leaving them vulnerable to theft and related damage. In 2025, Kia and Hyundai agreed to equip future vehicles with immobilizers, provide ignition cylinder protectors, and provide some monetary compensation for vehicles damaged by thieves; the matter therefore reached a settlement.
