Police are warning Hyundai and Kia owners about a social media challenge that encourages people to steal these car brands and post videos of their joyrides.
Hyundai is organizing additional software clinics to help car owners still at risk of theft after a TikTok trend that proliferated over the internet three years ago revealed how easy it was to hot wire certain cars.
The company’s 29th event, in which the company updates the software in an owner’s car, kicked off in Grand Prairie, Texas, on Friday and will last through the weekend.
Hyundai Vice President Dave VandeLinde told FOX Business that they have already equipped 1.6 million customers with the software upgrades needed to prevent them from easily being stolen. While they are 60% through, VaneLinde says there’s still a lot more work that needs to be done.
