Hyundai Motor America will host five clinics to help customers
install software to prevent theft.
The automaker said it would host five multi-day clinics, at
which customers can install free software to help prevent a method
of car theft that was popularized on social media.
The company rolled out a software fix in February that was meant
to stop the widespread vehicle thefts, but the problem persisted
after the initial launch.
The five clinics will be in New York City, Chicago, Minneapolis,
St. Paul, Minn., and Rochester, N.Y.
The company said it would also host one-day regional clinics
before the end of the year.
Hyundai said more than a million vehicles have installed the new
software, which prevents vehicles with turn-key ignition systems
from being started if they're broken into.
The company said the installation takes less than 30
minutes.
