A class action lawsuit against Hyundai Motor America (“HMA”) alleges that certain 2011 – 2022 model year Hyundai vehicles that were not equipped with an engine immobilizer (called the “Class Vehicles”) contain design flaws, including the failure to manufacture the Class Vehicles with an anti-theft device called an engine immobilizer, that make them susceptible to theft and damage. Class Vehicles manufactured without an engine immobilizer have traditional “turn-key-to-start” ignition systems.

No party has been found liable for any claims alleged in the lawsuit. The parties have instead reached a voluntary settlement (referred to as “the Settlement” or “the proposed Settlement”) to avoid lengthy litigation and provide relief to people who owned or leased Class Vehicles in the United States including Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. Class Members may be entitled to compensation if they submit valid and timely Claims.

Beginning February 12, 2024, eligible class members (current & previous owners of the subject vehicles) will receive notice of the Settlement by mail and email, and may start directing questions to the dealers. In response to those questions, dealers should direct customers as follows:

• To check eligibility of the Settlement by VIN, a summary of the potential benefits, and information on how to file a claim, visit www.HyundaiTheftSettlement.com.
