Description of the problem	I recently learned that hyundai had issued a safety recall (nhtsa campaign number 14v415000) for 2007-2012 veracruz vehicles with the lambda mpi engine to correct an oil leak from the front valve cover gasket that saturates the alternator and causes the alternator to short out. If this happens while driving the car can quit on the driver. Our 2007 hyundai santa fe uses the same engine and we are experiencing the same symptoms (i. E. Oil leaking from front valve cover onto the alternator), so i called hyundai to see about getting this issue fixed under this recall. Hyundai customer service told me that because my vehicle was not covered they would not cover this issue. It seems that hyundai should have to correct this for all vehicles that use the same lambda v6 engine, not just a select few. If it is dangerous for veracruz owners, how is it not dangerous for santa fe owners with the exact same engine and symptoms? I would like to see this safety recall expanded to cover all vehicles that use this same engine.
