Certain vehicle models are eligible for the anti-theft tool, partly due to a rise in break-ins following step-by-step TikTok challenge videos.
in the affected vehicles have been taken up by police departments in both Dublin, Ohio, and Baltimore, Maryland who are hosting steering wheel lock giveaways at their respective local police stations. Hyundai will also reimburse all customers who bought the steering wheel locks and is supporting police efforts by providing the feature to law enforcement agencies to distribute., the company said, “Hyundai Motor America is committed to ensuring the quality and integrity of our products.
Hyundai rolled out its other anti-theft features last month that would extend the car’s alarm by 30 seconds and requires the key to be inserted into the ignition before it will power up. These features previously cost customers $170 but could rise to as much as $500 to cover the installation and labor costs.
