This is a low quality article that would lead people to believe incorrect information. The headline is incorrect, as they won't be "fixing" the problem. The latest news that I believe accompanied the statement quoted is that they are giving out (or reimbursing) steering wheel locks (as in "The Club") to some customers,[0]. Steering wheel locks are very frustrating to use and easily defeated. They're also not adding immobilizers but rather connecting the fob buttons to the engine via software:[1] > The software upgrade modifies certain vehicle control modules on Hyundai vehicles equipped with standard “turn-key-to-start” ignition systems. As a result, locking the doors with the key fob will set the factory alarm and activate an “ignition kill” This software update will require a service visit and isn't yet available for most affected vehicles. And to put things in perspective: > 96 percent of vehicles had engine immobilizers as standard equipment in 2015, the feature was standard on only 26 percent of Hyundai and Kia models [up through 2021].
