Eligible Kia models and years
Owners of certain models and years of Kia and Hyundai vehicles who suffered theft or attempted theft of their vehicles can get up to $3,375 in expenses, or 33% of the damages to their vehicle and other costs they incurred due to a “qualifying theft” or “qualifying theft attempt.”
After videos spread on TikTok showing how easy it was to steal specific models and years of Kia and Hyundai vehicles as a result of their being built without important anti-theft devices called “engine immobilizers,” thefts of Kias and Hyundais exploded, causing damage to thousands of people’s Kias and Hyundais and heaping financial woes upon the owners, like increased insurance premiums and deductibles, costs to repair broken glass and other damage done to the vehicles, costs of adding after-market anti-theft devices, towing and transportation costs, lost work time and income, additional child care and other expenses.
