Is there a list published somewhere documenting which Hyundai and Kia car models are affected?

  Found a list of models that are blacklisted from being added to insurance policies [1]: 2015-2021 Hyundai Accent (all body styles) 2015-2021 Hyundai Elantra (two-door and four-door) 2015-2021 Hyundai Kona 2015-2021 Hyundai Santa Fe 2015-2021 Hyundai Tucson 2015-2018 Hyundai Veloster 2015-2021 Kia Forte 2015-2021 Kia Optima 2015-2016 Kia Optima Hybrid 2015-2021 Kia Rio (all body styles) 2015-2021 Kia Sedona 2015-2016 Kia Sorento 2015-2021 Kia Soul 2015-2021 Kia Sportage edit: forbes [2] offers a slightly different list of models: > Hyundai is offering a free software update to prevent thefts on certain targeted vehicles, starting Tuesday on nearly 4 million Hyundais on the road. The first million eligible cars are 2017 to 2020 Elantra, 2015 to 2019 Sonata and 2020 to 2021 Venue vehicles. Affected owners can bring in the car to Hyundai dealerships for the free anti-theft upgrade. It takes about an hour to install. Once updated a window decal will (hopefully) alert and deter thieves from targeting the vehicle. > The next batch of eligible vehicles will go in for the software update in June and includes a long list of Kia models, including: 2018-2022 Accent 2011-2016 Elantra 2021-2022 Elantra 2018-2020 Elantra GT 2011-2014 Genesis Coupe 2018-2022 Kona 2020-2021 Palisade 2013-2018 Santa Fe Sport 2013-2022 Santa Fe 2019 Santa Fe XL 2011-2014 Sonata 2011-2022 Tucson 2012-2017, 2019-2021 Veloster [1] https://www.thedrive.com/news/these-hyundai-and-kia-models-are-blacklisted-by-state-farm-insurance-over-thefts https://www.thedrive.com/news/these-hyundai-and-kia-models-a...

  If you own a Kia, enter your VIM on their site below and it'll tell you if it's vulnerable. I just checked my 2012 Sportage - it has an electronic keyfob start so it's OK. https://ksupport.kiausa.com/ConsumerAffairs/SWLD https://ksupport.kiausa.com/ConsumerAffairs/SWLD
