Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You currently own or previously owned an eligible Kia or Hyundai vehicle that lacked a standard engine immobilizer
- Your vehicle was stolen or you suffered losses related to the theft vulnerability in an affected model
- You paid out of pocket for security upgrades, repairs, or related expenses due to the theft risk
- You reside in one of the participating states covered by the multistate attorney general settlement
- You can provide documentation supporting your claim, such as proof of vehicle ownership, theft reports, or receipts for security-related expenses
How Much Can You Get?
Eligible claimants may receive up to $4,500 in cash, depending on the losses they experienced and the documentation they can provide. Cash compensation is generally available for owners who suffered actual theft-related losses, such as a stolen vehicle, damaged property, or out-of-pocket security upgrade costs. If you haven't experienced a theft but own an affected vehicle, you may still qualify for a free software upgrade or hardware security upgrade at no cost to you. The specific amount or benefit you receive will depend on your situation and the documentation you submit — so it's worth filing even if your losses were modest.How to File Your Claim
