This is the second time the alternator is being replaced since 09/19/17. Engine oil leaks from the front cylinder bank's valve cover gasket. Oil drips onto the alternator, the alternator is then oil soaked & damaged resulting in the charging system becoming inoperative. The charging system warning lamp in the cluster will then illuminate. The vehicle will run on battery power until the battery voltage drops below the engine control module's minimum operational voltage. The engine shuts off and not restart, increasing the risk of a crash. This engine is manufactured by Hyundai & is the same engine design as the 2007-2012 Hyundai veracruz, which has a recall campaign #121 for this exact issue. Kia needs to implement a recall for this!.
