Kia and Hyundai Class Action Settlements

All class action lawsuits and settlements involving Kia and Hyundai.

Kia and Hyundai vehicle owners have faced significant security vulnerabilities that have led to widespread theft issues and subsequent legal action. Currently, there is one major active class action settlement available to affected owners. The $9 million Kia Hyundai settlement addresses security flaws in certain vehicle models and offers eligible owners cash payments up to $4,500 along with security upgrades to help prevent theft. This settlement stems from allegations that these automakers failed to install proper anti-theft technology in many of their vehicles, making them easy targets for criminals using simple methods to steal cars. The security vulnerabilities particularly affected models lacking engine immobilizers, which are standard anti-theft devices in most modern vehicles. Owners who experienced theft, attempted theft, or other related damages may be eligible for compensation. The settlement requires proof of eligibility, and claimants have until March 31, 2027 to submit their claims. Beyond direct theft-related damages, the settlement also covers costs for aftermarket security systems and other protective measures owners may have installed.
