Engine Noise problems of the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe

15 miles from home in luverne, al 36049 on 2/1/2021, engine light came on and engine sounded like a mis-fire. Had oil changed at huffines Hyundai, plano, TX on 1/25/2021 and they did a recall of a 2nd ecm update of software. Emptied SUV out on 2/2, went to backup on 2/3 and white smoke pour out of exhaust. Tried to drive to mitchell Hyundai enterprise, al, vehicle died, had to have it towed to shop. Just found out today that my vehicle was part of the recall and that I should have been sent documentation about the engine issue. To date we have not received anything about it. According to what I read in the letter, my vehicle is not covered under the recall. The dealership says it is covered, but they have to wait for the company to make up it's mind. The recall may need to be expanded, my vehicle is the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe sport 2. 0t ultimate.

There has been some engine noise for 2 months or so. . I then had an oil leak and the dealer said that the engine noise was from crankshaft and maybe a bearing inside. I have 74, 000 miles on vehicle and have a 10 year 125000 mile extended warranty. I was at the dealer today and they gave me the news about maybe crankshaft bearing. The Hyundai motor company has a recall on your site about 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe having defect in a pin in the crankshaft that wears the bearing. This seems like exactly what dealer is telling me. My question is , the recall says that Hyundai motor company recalled 420 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe's that were produced between January 26 2017 and February 13 2017. My Santa Fe was actually produced on January 14 2017, which is only 12 days prior to the start of the official recall production date of January 26. How does Hyundai motor company know that my vehicle was not produced with this faulty pin in the crankshaft that causes bearing failure? thank you very much for this website and I hope someone can enlighten me as to what I may be able to do right now.
