That applies to every manufacturer, and no, there isn't really a fix.
It's also not really happening in any meaningful numbers, at least yet...
"Hyundai and Kia aren't alone in this high-tech fight. The same resellers offer console-like devices that can brute force key combinations for modern Infiniti, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru and Toyota vehicles, among other makes not sold in the U.S."
Didn't even see that part in the article that's concerning. Maybe not all manufacturers but a lot of them need to step their security up then.
There really isn't a way to realistically shield against relay attacks. Most people say "just go back go physical keys", but those are even less secure.
Phone-as-key and keycard systems are vulnerable in the same way.
