## What is wrong

Hyundai Motor Company \(Hyundai\) is recalling certain model year 2007\-2012 Veracruz vehicles manufactured from December 26, 2006, through July 24, 2012.  The affected vehicles may experience an oil leak from the front cylinder bank valve cover gasket.  If there is a sufficient amount of oil dropped onto the alternator, the alternator will be damaged causing the charging system to become inoperative.


## What can happen

If the alternator is damaged, the charging system warning lamp in the instrument cluster will illuminate, and the engine will lose power and the vehicle will eventually stop operating while being driven. An unexpected failure of motive power while driving increases the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect/repair or replace the alternator and the front valve cover gasket, free of charge.  Hyundai sent out an interim letter to owners on September 3, 2014.  Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1\-800\-633\-5151.  Hyundai's number for this recall is 121.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
