Hyundai and Kia to Provide Free Repairs for Millions of Vehicles

December 17, 2025 - 11:11

In a significant move, Hyundai and Kia have agreed to a nationwide settlement that will see the companies offer complimentary repairs for millions of vehicles. This initiative aims to address concerns surrounding the effectiveness of anti-theft technology in their cars. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced that the total cost of the repairs could exceed $500 million.

The decision comes in response to rising incidents of vehicle thefts, particularly involving certain models that have been targeted due to vulnerabilities in their security systems. Under the settlement, eligible vehicle owners will be able to have their cars repaired at no cost, ensuring that they have enhanced protection against theft.

This proactive step not only reflects the commitment of Hyundai and Kia to their customers but also aims to restore confidence in their vehicles. As the companies move forward with the repairs, they hope to mitigate the risk of theft and improve the overall safety and security of their cars on the road.
