Is the Hyundai Tucson vulnerable to theft due to the absence of an immobilizer in certain models?

Yes, some Hyundai Tucson models manufactured between 2015 and 2021 lack an immobilizer system, making them susceptible to theft. This vulnerability became widely known through the Kia Challenge on TikTok. Hyundai has since introduced a free anti-theft software patch for affected vehicles, and owners are encouraged to install it at authorized dealerships.
