Consumer Description

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.
