Amid a nationwide wave of social media-linked thefts targeting Hyundais and Kias, which state officials say have caused at least eight deaths, federal regulators have declined to issue a recall of the vehicles.
A representative for Hyundai, which is the parent company of Kia, said that engine immobilizers are now standard on vehicles produced as of November 2021, but that some trim levels on older models do not have it.
“At this time, NHTSA has not determined that this issue constitutes either a safety defect or noncompliance requiring a recall,” wrote Cem Hatipoglu, NHTSA's acting associate director for enforcement, in reference to the Hyundai and Kia vehicles susceptible to theft because they lack engine immobilizers.
