Hyundai and Kia thefts keep rising despite software fix, crime data show
auto theft
The disturbing theft rate, which authorities nationally have linked to other crimes including at least, has persisted despite the automakers' unveiling of their anti-theft software campaign in mid-February. Safety authorities say the companies' software rollout has been far too slow. Of the 4.5 million Kia vehicles that are eligible for the fix, the automaker says it's installed the software on about 210,000 — nearly 5%. Kia says it has sent notifications to about 2.8 million of the affected owners and expects to have notified all of them by the end of this month.
