Hyundai and Kia announced in February that they would provide software updates for vehicles that require the key to be in the ignition switch to turn the car on.
The car had been reported stolen.The bottom line is, Kias and Hyundais failure to install standard safety features on many of their vehicles have put vehicle owners and the public at risk, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a news release.Instead of taking responsibility with appropriate corrective action, these carmakers have chosen instead to pass this risk onto consumers and our communities. Bonta and the other attorneys general sent a letter on Thursday to NHTSA requesting a nationwide recall.
