A lot of these Kia/Hyundai articles deceptively/vaguely refer to a “security upgrade” which sounds official and IMO will make most think, “oh, so like a software update or kill switch type thing installed in the structure of the car’s built in security systems”
And in reality, they just sent a cheap version of “the club”, and only to some people. And of course there are videos online that show how the club actually makes it easier for a thief without the proper tools to use it as a tool to HELP steal your car.
If there were any justice against abusive corporations, the class action suite would be major here.
No, there really was a “recall” where they notified drivers to bring cars to the dealership for some software patch to address the issue.
My mom did it, and it broke her remote start function. So it did change something regarding starting, but apparently, it didn’t really fix the original problem.
I’m a Hyundai owner, can say that I didn’t receive anything, when into dealership for all regular service early January, and I’m in the affected class. Nothing happened, no conversation about security - there was one about the engine catching fire and a notice that were supposed to park our cars outside until it can be inspected.
