Status: open
Hyundai (vehicle defect)
Defendant: Hyundai
The maker of Hyundai automobiles will pay $145 million to settle allegations that it manufactured certain of its vehicles between 2011 and 2022 without equipping them with an engine immobilizer—a type of electronic security technology—thereby leaving them more vulnerable to theft. If you purchased or leased an eligible Hyundai (listed on the settlement website and searchable by VIN), you may be eligible for a payment and/or a vehicle software upgrade.
