Kia and Hyundai vehicles have been a target of thieves due to a security flaw that makes them easier to steal than other vehicles.
In August 2022, DPD said that the flaws have been present in Kia vehicles made since 2011 and Hyundai vehicles since 2015.
Police recommended buying immobilizing systems, GPS devices or steering wheel or brake system locks for owners of Kia or Hyundai models, and to never leave the vehicle unlocked while running with keys in the car.
