Ohioans who own or lease certain Hyundai or Kia vehicles may be eligible for compensation and free anti-theft protection in a multistate settlement, according to Attorney General Dave Yost.

Yost said under the settlement, consumers may receive:

  • Free installation of a zinc-reinforced ignition cylinder protector for affected vehicles.
  • Restitution for certain expenses related to a theft or an attempted theft if a vehicle was stolen or targeted on or after April 29.

For those who qualify, a notice from Hyundai or Kia is sent out and they have one year after notice is sent to schedule the free installation at an authorized dealership, according to Yost.
