Engine Head Gasket Leaking Problems of Hyundai Entourage

Valve cover gasket is leaking oil all over the alternator. Other Hyundai's with this engine have been recalled but the Entourage has not. That makes no sense at all since by Hyundai's one admission in the other recall this is a safety issue. Why is nothing being done about this???.

Van's electrical suddenly cut off in the middle of traffic losing power - thankfully a parking lot entrance was nearby and was able to barely steer it into the parking lot. I had my children with me. Found out it was recurring problem with the valve cover gasket leaking oil onto the alternator. Similar problem with recalled Hyundai veracruz - same engine layout - but no recall on the Hyundai Entourage. This is the 4th time the alternator died and the local Hyundai dealership will do nothing since it is out of warranty.

On my last visit to the dealership service department, I was told the front valve cover gasket was leaking and needed to be replaced. I was unable to have the repair done at then due to time constraints. I now have an appointment in three days (August 8, 2014) to have the front valve cover replaced. The cost estimate is $653. 00. Nhtsa recently sent me a notice of a recall on the Hyundai veracruz that has virtually the same engine compartment layout as my vehicle. The recall on the veracruz is to replace leaking valve cover gasket and the alternator for free because oil is leaking onto the alternator and causing a safety hazard. I think that Hyundai of America should do the same fix for my vehicle free of charge. What do you recommend that I do? I believe that odi should verify this complaint and contact Hyundai to issue the same recall for my vehicle.
