How to do when I was stolen my hyundai car in USA?
If your Hyundai car is stolen in the USA, the first step is to report the theft to the police immediately. Then, if your Hyundai is equipped with Bluelink, contact their customer care to utilize the Stolen Vehicle Recovery feature. The Bluelink Customer Care agent will need a report number to help police find the location of your vehicle. Finally, notify your insurance company about the theft.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Report to the Police:
File a police report immediately after discovering your car is missing.
Obtain a copy of the report and the report number.
The police will enter the vehicle information into national and state auto theft databases.
2. Utilize Hyundai Bluelink (if applicable):
If your Hyundai has Bluelink, contact their customer care line at 855-225-8354. Provide them with your police report number and other relevant information. Bluelink can use GPS technology to help locate the vehicle and assist law enforcement.
3. Contact Your Insurance Company:
Notify your insurance provider about the theft.
They will guide you through the claims process.
Be prepared to provide details about your vehicle, the police report, and any other relevant information.
4. Consider Additional Theft Deterrents:
If your vehicle is eligible, consider getting the free anti-theft software update offered by Hyundai to mitigate the risk of future theft.
If your vehicle isn't eligible for the software update, consider using a steering wheel lock or other aftermarket anti-theft devices, according to Hagens Berman.
Keep receipts for any anti-theft devices, as they may be eligible for reimbursement under the Hyundai/Kia class action settlement.
5. Class Action Settlement:
If your vehicle is part of the class action settlement, you may be eligible for compensation related to the theft.
Visit the Hyundai settlement website for more information and to check your eligibility.
