Consumer Description

THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL FOR THE HYUNDAI VERACRUZ (WHICH ALSO USES THE HYUNDAI LAMBADA ENGINE). THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VALVE COVER LEAKING OIL ONTO THE ALTERNATOR, CAUSING THE ALTERNATOR TO FAIL. THIS HAPPENED TO MY CAR A YEAR AGO (APPROX), AND I PAID TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE. THE LEAKING ISSUE IS STARTING TO SURFACE AGAIN, WHICH CAUSED ME TO LOOK ONLINE FOR HOW WIDESPREAD THIS ISSUE WAS. THAT WAS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE VERACRUZ RECALL. *TR
