Description of the problem	We have a 2007 hyundai santa fe limited v6 3. 3l with ~80k miles that suffered an alternator failure while driving yesterday 8/14: car lost all power in the middle of the road and stalled... Hopefully without much traffic around. We thought it was a battery problem, so we got a new battery but problem happened again. We checked to see if others had similar problems and found there was a santa fe 2007's recall on a valve gasket in 2016. Now, it seems our old hyundai dealer changed it during the 60k maintenance (we didn't receive a notice or were told about it at that time, although today we found they did it in 2016 b/c we were informed about that in the dealer this morning). In any case, we towed the car to a closer hyundai dealer (car would not move even after battery jump) and they basically told us the replaced gasket didn't work and impacted the alternator. Problem is, the car is 11 years old and is 'out of warranty'. They are 'checking with corporate' whether they should charge us full price for the repair ($1700) even if the problem is -more than likely- related to that recall... So, my question: since the problem that the work done in 2016 should fix still happened, am i still covered by that recall? Do free-cost recalls end with the warranty (10-yr) for the car? I really thought recalls do not end. Thanks in advance. P. S. I also wrote a similar note through your facebook page.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
