Description of the Class Action Settlement
A class action lawsuit against Hyundai Motor America (“HMA”) alleges that certain 2011 – 2022 model year
Hyundai vehicles that were not equipped with an engine immobilizer (called the “Class Vehicles”) contain design
flaws, including the failure to manufacture the Class Vehicles with an anti-theft device called an engine
immobilizer, that make them susceptible to theft and damage. Class Vehicles manufactured without an engine
immobilizer have traditional “turn-key-to-start” ignition systems.
No party has been found liable for any claims alleged in the lawsuit. The parties have instead reached a
voluntary settlement (referred to as “the Settlement” or “the proposed Settlement”) to avoid lengthy litigation
and provide relief to people who owned or leased Class Vehicles in the United States including Puerto Rico, U.S.
Virgin Islands, and Guam. Class Members may be entitled to compensation if they submit valid and timely Claims.
Page 1 of 21

Beginning February 12, 2024, eligible class members (current & previous owners of the subject vehicles) will
receive notice of the Settlement by mail and email. Additional details on where to direct customers with
questions relating to the Settlement, including where customers can file a claim, will be provided in the near
future.
In the meantime, the Software Upgrade (993) and related Hyundai Service Campaigns should continue to be
performed by dealers as outlined below within this best practice.

Campaigns Overview
Hyundai has launched an anti-theft software upgrade and window decal campaign (Campaign 993),
combined with an anti-theft steering wheel lock campaign (Campaign P32), and anti-theft ignition cylinder
protector campaign (Campaign 9A5) in response to an increase in thefts of certain 2011-2022MY Hyundai
vehicles not equipped with engine immobilizers targeted through social media. For certain vehicles that
cannot be upgraded with the software (Campaign 993), Hyundai is offering customers an anti-theft ignition
cylinder protector to be installed on their vehicle. This Dealer Best Practices Guide provides information to
assist dealership personnel with customer questions relating to the immobilizer software upgrade, window
decals and steering wheel lock anti-theft solutions available from HMA through Hyundai dealers.
NOTE: In November 2021, engine immobilizers became standard on all Hyundai vehicles produced.
1. Vehicles equipped with an engine immobilizer: Hyundai vehicles that are equipped with a push
button ignition or immobilizer lamp in the instrument cluster are equipped with an immobilizer and
therefore Campaign 993 software does not apply.
• Note: Some of these vehicles may have an open Campaign 993. If so, the campaign can be
closed by submitting the inspection only claim for the appliable model as outlined in the related
Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 24-01-009H (or latest version).

2. Campaign 993: Certain 2011-2022MY Hyundai vehicles without a push button ignition or immobilizer
lamp in the instrument cluster are eligible for the free anti-theft software upgrade and window decal
campaign.
• Check WebDCS Vehicle Information Screen for eligibility by VIN.

Service Campaigns 993, 9A5, and P32 Applicability Workflow
The following process workflow provides a high-level view of the applicability of available actions. Detailed
process and steps for each are provided in the following pages of this Dealer Best Practice.

Service Campaign 993
Page 3 of 21

Hyundai is conducting a service campaign to inspect if the Hyundai vehicle has a start/stop push button or
immobilizer lamp indicator, and if neither exist for the vehicle, upgrade the Integrated Body Control
Unit/Body Control Module (IBU/BCM) software to enhance the OEM Hyundai burglar alarm system operation
and ignition start logic. It also requires installation of an anti-theft decal on the front driver’s-side window and
on the front passenger-side window. Additional decals may also be installed in the rear windows at
customer’s discretion. See TSB 24-01-009H (or latest version) for repair details.

IMPORTANT
 This software upgrade may be incompatible with aftermarket/add-on alarms and remote
start systems. Installation of the software upgrade in vehicles equipped with these devices
may cause the software upgrade, the aftermarket/add-on alarm, and/or the remote start
system not to function properly. In the case that the customer declines the software
upgrade due to the vehicle being equipped with an aftermarket alarm/anti-theft system, an
opt-out form will need to be signed by the customer. This form must be attached to the
submitted claim by the dealer.
 UPDATE: Vehicles equipped with the OEM Genuine Hyundai remote start system may
exhibit the horn honking when remote starting the vehicle after receiving the software
upgrade. Refer to TSB 23-BE-010H (or latest version) to upgrade the remote start module
to eliminate the horn honking during remote start operation.

Service Campaign 993 Parts Information:
Dealer should review decal inventory on a regular basis and reorder as needed
to ensure there is an adequate supply available to serve incoming customers.
Please refer to Parts Bulletin SC993 Anti-Theft Decal Order Processing in
WebDCS (HD.com/Parts/Documents Library/Reference Materials/Parts
Bulletin) for additional decal ordering information.
Service Campaign 993 Warranty Information:
Service Campaign 993 pays 0.3M/H (Elantra (CN7/CN7a pays 0.4 M/H) to perform the quick software
upgrade. Op times include completing the decal installation for both front windows while the software
upgrade is being performed, taking STUI photos, and uploading.
The STUI photos must include:
• If vehicle has push button ignition or immobilizer lamp in the instrument cluster: The push
button ignition and/or instrument cluster/gauges clearly showing the lighted lamps and telltale
indicators (ignition to be turned to Accessory mode).
• If software and decals installed: The anti-theft decals on the driver and passenger front windows

Service Campaign 993 Recommended Alternative Transportation:
A Service Rental Car (SRC) will not be needed during the installation of the BCM software upgrade. This is a
quick software upgrade, and the anti-theft window decals can be applied while the software is running.
Service Campaign 993 Customer Sample Talk Tracks:
Topic: How to arm & disarm the anti-theft software after software installation
• Vehicles with an exposed key cylinder on the driver’s door lock: “Hyundai recommends using your
key fob button to lock and unlock the vehicle to activate/deactivate the anti-theft system. However,
your vehicle has an exposed key cylinder on the driver’s door lock so you can also use your key to
disarm the alarm/deactivate the “ignition kill” feature in addition to using your key fob. NOTE: this
recommendation does not apply to Kona 2018-2022MY (OS), in which the key FOB button will need
to be used to lock/unlock the vehicle and arm/dis-arm the security system.”
Page 5 of 21

•

Vehicles with a covered key cylinder on the driver’s door lock: “The key fob buttons to lock and
unlock the vehicle are required to activate/deactivate the anti-theft system. After using the key fob to
activate the anti-theft system, the key fob must be used to first disarm the system prior to attempting
to start the vehicle.”

Topic: Available software and decals
“Your vehicle is eligible for the free software upgrade to improve the existing factory alarm system and
ignition start logic. We will also apply anti-theft decals to the front driver's-side and front passenger-side
windows of your vehicle. This procedure will be performed at no charge to you. Once the upgrade
procedure has been completed, be sure to lock and unlock your vehicle using the key fob buttons to
activate and deactivate the anti-theft system. Using the mechanical door lock may not activate the antitheft system and your vehicle may not start. If you have aftermarket window tint, the decals may cause
damage to the tint if you attempt to remove them later. Also, if your vehicle has an aftermarket security or
remote start system installed, it’s operation could be potentially affected by this software upgrade.”
Topic: Customer requests the software not be applied and/or the decals not be Installed
“We understand your concerns. We will document on the Repair Order that you have declined this
enhanced anti-theft software upgrade and/or decals. Please sign on this line to acknowledge you are
declining the procedure at this time.”
Topic: Customer is concerned that their OEM remote start may not function after the software
update.
“We understand your concerns. Once the software anti-theft software update has been performed, we will
test your vehicle’s OEM anti-theft alarm and engine immobilizer, as well as your vehicle’s OEM remote
start to ensure all is functioning properly.”
