The free anti-theft software installation is available for people who own a 2010-2021 Hyundai.
said the thefts of Hyundais have been on the rise for the past few years in Houston, which is why it's partnering with the motor company to install free anti-theft software for some Hyundai owners this weekend., from Friday, April 19 through Sunday, April 21 to install this software for 2010-2021 Hyundais owners.

That's when social media posts started to circulate about how an alleged design flaw made Hyundias and Kias easier to steal.
Hyundai said as the trend grew, it began developing engine software solutions to safeguard customers. "Our focus is on supporting our customers, but we realize this theft ring brings a lot of impact to the community and also to the police departments," said Dave VandeLinde with Hyundai."We know that vehicles are a lifeline for everyone to get to work, to attend school, to care for our families, and this crime prevention project is an opportunity for citizens to take action," said Dana Hitzman with HPD's Auto Theft Division.
