Engine Oil Leaking problems of the 2008 Hyundai Veracruz

My vehicle has a oil leakage in the lh and rh valve cover gasket that the dealer is stating to replace. Currently there is a recall for the Veracruz: oil may leak from the front cylinder bank cover gasket, potentially dripping onto the alternator and causing the charging system to become inoperative. The remedy will include new dealer instructions on performing the repair. Based on an inspection, vehicles identified with no oil leakage specified in the 't' joint area will have an oil protector installed with rtv sealant application. For those vehicles identified with oil leakage, the valve cover gasket and alternator will also be replaced for those vehicles identified with an oil leakage in addition to the installation of oil protector with rtv sealant application. An oil protector will be installed on all. However the dealer is stating that the recall only covers the lh cover gasket. The recall remedy does not state. Therefore the issue is not fully resolved.

Front cover gasket severe oil leak, alternator soaking in oil. Now not charging battery as engine runs on battery power the alternator is not producing power. Now I cannot use my Veracruz. Fot stalled good thing I had the time to park before the engine stalled.

We have been waiting since November when recall number 197 came out. Our vehicle has been parked since the dealer would not repair the valve cover oil leaking onto the alternator without a notice from the manufacturer. They confirm the alternator is covered with oil from the leak. The battery drains and we had to put a disconnect switch on it to keep it charged. Still pay insurance for the vehicle to sit which we bought to transport our grandkids. Been using our daughters car since then which is too small for all of the grandkids. January 8th was the date the company gave us and it came and went with no remedy yet. This is leaning heavily on criminal. Someone let us know what we can do.

Alternator failure due to leak on valve cover. A known design flaw on the seal for the valve cover allows oil to leak on to alternator causing failure and rendering the engine inoperable. This could easily cause a crash and death due to engine stall.
