Why Are These Cars Targeted?

  • Security Vulnerabilities: Many Hyundai and Kia models produced between 2011 and 2021 lack engine immobilizers, making them easier to steal.  

  • Social Media Influence: The "Kia Challenge," a trend that went viral on platforms like TikTok, demonstrated how to exploit these vulnerabilities, leading to a surge in thefts.  

  • High Demand for Parts: Vehicles like the Honda Accord and Civic have long been popular targets due to the high resale value of their parts.

Tips to Prevent Vehicle Theft

  • Install Anti-Theft Devices: Use steering wheel locks, kill switches, or GPS tracking systems. 

  • Software Updates: If you own a Hyundai or Kia, check with the manufacturer for available security software updates.

  • Secure Parking: Always park in well-lit areas and ensure your vehicle is locked.

  • Remove Valuables: Keep personal items out of sight to avoid attracting thieves.

  • Stay Informed: Regularly check for recalls or security updates related to your vehicle model.
