Eventually, this same issue will be resolved no doubt, perhaps this way too.

I'm not sure "responsibly" is first ignoring the problem all the way back to 2011, and it becoming so bad of an issue that insurers started dropping Kia/Hyundai owners in multiple states, stone cold. Multiple states and individuals had to file suit prior to a national class action lawsuit originating in California (thanks, CA!) filed in Sept 2022, which has been settled. Note that Hyundai/Kia does not accept responsibility (admit to wrongdoing). The settlement is the result of a disputed claim against them.
The free software update is part of the $145M cash settlement for owners covered by the lawsuit, as well as the potential to receive an ignition immobilizer on affected vehicles.
