East Rutherford NJ, due to the rise in thefts of Hyundai and Kia vehicles, specifically model years 2011-2021, police agencies have partnered with the Hyundai/KIA motor corporations to assist the East Rutherford residents in preventing future thefts. These vehicles are being specifically targeted due to an override of the ignition.
Currently there is a software upgrade and in addition to the software upgrade, the Hyundai/KIA Motor Company is distributing FREE steering wheel locks to Borough residents. The locks, which were donated to this agency, are available to residents who own a Hyundai/KIA vehicle that was manufactured between 2011 and 2021, that DO NOT have a push-button start.
