A settlement was reached in federal court in Santa Ana over litigation brought by Hyundai and Kia car owners involving a security weakness that made the rounds on social media, the automakers announced Thursday, May 18.
The agreement could be valued around $200 million, but it depends on how many car owners participate in the settlement, which will offer cash for some customers who have theft-related claims. U.S. District Judge James Selna will consider preliminary approval of the settlement in July.
