Hyundai’s fix for theft-prone cars in viral TikTok trend will cost customers $170.
The viral trend of stealing these South Korean cars began in Milwaukee back in December 2021 but has spread across the nation with the help of TikTok creators. Essentially every Kia or Hyundai model that is started with a physical key has been targeted, with thieves needing nothing more than a basic USB cord to accomplish the lick.
Kia hasn’t entirely forgotten about its customers in this case, and is instead ready to offer free steering wheel locks to owners of affected models. While a bit more rudimentary than Hyundai’s approach, the lack of any expected financial contributions is likely welcomed in this case. Hyundai isgiving a few of these mechanical solutions out as well, should you need some additional assurances from the automaker.
While it is already too late for a number of owners, we'll have to see if this fix actually helps bring the trend of stolen South Korean cars to a close.
