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.

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.

Reoccuring of existing fixed recall from Hyundai reference number 121. The exact issue that Hyundai fixed under recall is reoccurring in regards to oil leaking and seeping from the front cylinder valve cover/gasket region causing alternator and electrical failure. Vehicle was in motion down the highway when it lost all electrical due to the failed alternator.

We purchased this car new. It has been to the dealer 5 times or more for the repair of an engine oil leak that saturates the alternator resulting in its failure. They have resealed the engine oil pan the first time. Second, third, forth, and fifth time they replaced the front engine valve cover gasket. The last time they followed the recommended procedure as outlined by Hyundai that was mandated by ntsb as a recall. However the oil leak still remains. Upon our last visit in November 2018 the Hyundai service shop determined that the oil leak is from the front engine cover (timing cover). They submitted a request to Hyundai corporate to make the repair under warranty. Corporate advised that the repair should have been made under the vehicles warranty period. Now that the vehicle is out of warranty they have no obligation to pay for the repairs. Plus because it is not related to the valve cover and that repair has already been performed, they have meat their obligations. My complaint is that part of the mandated ntsb repair does involve a portion of the engine cover, but apparently applying a layer of sealant across the seam of the cover does not resolve the issue. Therefore this is still a safety hazard and we are looking at replacing a 3rd alternator.

The oil leak that has previously been reported caused the engine to run low on oil. Since there is a drip pan under the engine a consumer would have no way of knowing that their engine was severely leaking. If there is no oil in your parking spot and no sign of the car smoking a normal person would not check the oil with every tank of gas. This oil leak caused my alternator to fail in traffic, and since the engine ran low on oil I had a catastrophic engine failure ( threw a rod) at 126k. The oil leak causes long-term damage to the engine that Hyundai refuses to acknowledge.

I recently was driving my 2010 Hyundai vera cruz on the interstate when the engine suddenly died on me. I noticed that there was a mixture of oil and water coming from beneath the car. Upon further inspection I was informed the motor was locked. I had just replaced the alternator in may of this year due to oil leaking on it. I can't recall if the original owner had the car serviced for the recall or not. But I did call in about it and was informed that it was not on the list and if I need to have it checked at the local Hyundai dealer then I would have to pay the service charge. Well to me that wasn't fair, but now the fairness is gone because now I'll have to pay out 6200 to have the engine replaced. This issue could have been avoided.

Recall from Hyundai: an oil leak from the front cylinder bank valve cover gasket could cause enough oil to drop onto the alternator to damage it, resulting in a failure of the charging system. If the alternator is damaged, the charging system warning lamp in the instrument cluster will illuminate, causing the engine to lose power and the vehicle to stop running; an unexpected engine failure while driving increases the risk of a crash. The manufacturer is not telling owners that this recall eventually causes the failure of the engine as it happened to me and I have now been without a car for more than 3 weeks, waiting to hear from Hyundai corporate if they are going to fix the problem. So far, they have not indicated anything. As the oil is leaking, the car never operate at the optimal amount of oil, causing friction in the engine which eventually blocked the pump sending the oil to the top of the engine in my car. Hyundai has been unresponsive to help rectify the situation. Calling on the safety bureau for actions and will be seeking legal advice since my rental bills are adding up. I had to change my alternator twice, prior to the dealer having to change it twice as well within 4 years due to excessive leakage of oil.

Sufficient amount of oil leaking onto alternator from front cylinder bank valve cover gasket- coating alternator, not allowing the car to start or charge when jumped. Car battery has been replaced twice and serviced at a local repair shop. Local repair shop has documented and noted that there is significant damage occurning from front cylinder bank valvue cover, which is dripping and coating the alternator. Inquired help from Hyundai customer care center and was instructed to bring car into a dealer for further inspection. Unfortunaltly the car has not been able to start and this would require a towing service to tow my vehicle to the closet Hyundai service and dealership, which is over fourty five minutes from my current location. All expenses have to be payed out of pocket from the vehical operative (this includes: towing and all repairs). Hyundai has issued an important safety recall (interim notice)- they were unable to help address towing my broken down vehicle and getting any resolution into fixing the problem addressed in recall letter. I am a concerned customer that reached out to the Hyundai customer care center for assistance. I identify my needs and concerns, as I require my vehicle to comute to and from work and transport children to school. It is very disheartining to learn that after I addressing the safety and well-being of those transported in my car, that I was not even considered a canidate for any type of loaner vehicle until this problem is resolved. As stated in my important safety recall (interim letter):" the vehicle will run on battery power until the battery voltage drops below the engine. . . If this occurs, the engine will shut off and will not restart, increasing the risk of crash. " - Hyundai is not providing me with a safe alternative.

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.

First incident: 3/18/2011 & 16638 mileage : alternator shorted out at 65 mph on interstate 95 resulting in extreme power loss, very hard steering and difficult, unsafe vehicle control which finally ended in complete loss of power. Car towed to dealer which diagnosed an undetected oil leak from the valve cover dripped into alternator causing it to short out. Valve gasket was changed and alternator replaced. Second incident 1/23/2012 & 26000 mileage: same scenario, alternator shorted out upon accelerating on to FL state road in heavy traffic resulting in extreme power loss, very hard steering and difficult, unsafe vehicle control which finally ended in complete loss of power. Car towed to dealer which diagnosed an undetected oil leak from the valve cover dripped into the alternator causing it to short out. Valve gasket was changed and alternator replaced a second time. Note there was only 9362 mileage between incidents. The dealer says there is no fix for this other than replacing valve cover gasket and alternator when it happens again. This cannot be detected by dealer visual inspection prior to failure. This is very unsafe. I have all maintenance done at the dealership I purchased the car at according to the maintenance schedule and the dealer recommendations. Also note that vehicle at dealer 3 months before the second incident. This requires a recall before some dies in an accident.
