Description of the problem	There was a recall on the valve cover gasket as its poor design caused it to fail and leak into the alternator causing the alternator to eventually fail. I've had it replaced twice and the third gasket has failed and is leaking into the alternator once again. Hyundai has failed to create a permanent solution to this issue and should continue to replace the gasket and alternator if necessary until they do.

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.
