ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2007-2012 Veracruz vehicles manufactured from December 26, 2006, through July 24, 2012. The affected vehicles may experience an oil leak from the front cylinder bank valve cover gasket. If there is a sufficient amount of oil dropped onto the alternator, the alternator will be damaged causing the charging system to become inoperative.
Risk: If the alternator is damaged, the charging system warning lamp in the instrument cluster will illuminate, and the engine will lose power and the vehicle will eventually stop operating while being driven. An unexpected failure of motive power while driving increases the risk of a crash.

The vehicle was supposed to be fixed(recall 197) regarding the oil in the alternator issue. After it was fixed my wife was driving on [XXX] at rush hour in Atlanta GA. It slowly was losing power and she called me about it. I told her to get over to the right and take the next exit. It did stop on the exit ramp in the dark but no electric what so ever. The lights and flashers were inoperative. She called the police and they pulled behind the car with their lights flashing. A tow truck brought it to the Hyundia dealer at night and put the keys in the drop box. The dealer replaced the faulty alternator but did NOT cover the bill because they could not find oil on the alternator! About $1500 later I took the car home. This was November 2024 Last week [XXX], the replaced alternator failed again. This was supposed to be fixed by the dealer in November, but somehow this FIX is not working. We now have 2 failures within a year of the alternator supposedly fixed(recall 197) with a "drip pan"? I am reluctant to take it back to this dealer as they have failed twice to fix the problem. Another dealer is far away and the charged up car may not make it that far. You need to tell me why this alternator is still failing and sticking me with the bill when you have supposedly had a fix for the problem. Please advise me on the solution.
