Description of the problem	Warning light came on while driving vehicle indicating an electrical problem. Was able to drive home, but next day car would not start due to drained battery. Battery was then recharged and car driven to local firestone store for diagnosis. Was determined that the alternator was not working properly due to oil that had leaked from the front valve cover gasket. The alternator was heavily caked with this oil/grime. After installing new valve cover gasket and alternator today, car now runs fine. This problem seems to me to be identical to that described in hyundai's recall number 121 which covered certain veracruz models (nhtsa campaign number 14v415000) and therefore i believe that the recall should be extended to cover at least my car and probably others.
