Kia Hyundai settlement offers cash and security upgrades to owners
Court case: COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA BY ATTORNEY GENERAL DAVID W. SUNDAY JR. V. HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA INC.
Hyundai and Kia reached a multistate settlement over vehicles sold without engine immobilizers — the security gap that fueled a wave of viral car thefts. If your car was stolen or tampered with after you got the software update, you can file for cash reimbursement.
Official eligibility wordingOwners and lessees of 2011-2022 Hyundai or Kia vehicles lacking factory engine immobilizers who experienced a qualifying theft or attempted theft on or after April 29, 2025, after having received the software update. Checked against the official settlement source by SettleSignal on June 17, 2026.

Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- The theft must have occurred on or after April 29, 2025 AND after you already received the software update — an earlier theft, or a theft before the update, does not qualify.
- Only use the official domain www.hkmultistateimmobilizersettlement.com — scam copycat sites appear after every high-profile settlement; double-check the URL before entering any personal info.
- The restitution fund is capped at $4.5 million total; if claims exceed the fund, individual payouts could be reduced below the stated maximums.
- Do not wait until close to the March 31, 2027 deadline — the administrator may have processing backlogs and document reviews take time.
- Keep copies of everything you submit — the confirmation number and uploaded files — in case there are follow-up questions from the administrator.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
