The charging system and alternator failed due to a known safety recall involving an oil leak from the front cylinder bank cover gasket. The oil leaked onto the alternator, causing the charging system to become inoperative and resulting in the engine stalling. The vehicle is currently at the Hyundai dealership and is available for inspection upon request. The engine stalled unexpectedly without any warning, creating a serious safety hazard and increasing the risk of a crash. The failure occurred because the recalled defect caused the charging system to fail. The vehicle is currently at the Hyundai dealership, where the failure has been confirmed. The vehicle has been inspected by the Hyundai dealership. Hyundai has replaced the alternator under the applicable safety recall but has declined to cover the engine failure under the recall warranty. Based on the circumstances of this incident, I believe the engine failure was directly caused by the recalled defect. According to the recall, oil leaking from the front cylinder bank cover gasket can drip onto the alternator, causing the charging system to become inoperative and resulting in an engine stall. My vehicle experienced this exact sequence of events. There were no warning lights or prior indications of a problem before the engine stalled unexpectedly. Although Hyundai acknowledged the recall condition by replacing the alternator, it has denied responsibility for the resulting engine damage, despite the engine failure occurring immediately after the recalled oil leak caused the charging system to fail. I am requesting that Hyundai honor the intent of the recall warranty by covering all damage directly resulting from the recalled defect, including the engine failure.
