"My insurance company, they said going forward if you have a car that's a Kia or Hyundai after 2019, they won't insure it," said Dougherty."We're not aware of any other companies that have put a stop in place yet on these policies," said Friedlander."Nobody's policies are being canceled. This only applies to writing new business for these specific models," he said.
Additionally, Hyundai has taken a series of actions to deter thefts of affected vehicles, including an upcoming software upgrade to prevent the mode of theft popularized on social media.
