California Attorney General Rob Bonta joined more than 20 attorneys general criticizing Hyundai and Kia for not installing anti-theft technology in their vehicles, following a spike in thefts.

In a letter Monday, Bonta was among 23 attorneys general urging the two automakers to take immediate action to address the thefts. The attorneys said Hyundai and Kia did not install engine immobilizers in many of its vehicles sold in the U.S. between 2011 and 2022.

"Hyundai and Kia made a decision to forgo a standard safety feature that would help protect owners' investments, and now their customers are paying the price," Bonta."It's time for Hyundai and Kia to take responsibility for their poor decision which is hurting American families and putting public safety at risk. They must remedy this decision, now."
