Description of the problem	Vehicle was in the dealership for safety recall campaign 162 on 11/6/19. Dealership instructed me to get an oil change, drive my vehicle, and return every 700-1000 miles to have oil levels checked. I complied and drove my vehicle on a short trip on 11/8/19. At approximately 8:30 pm, as i was driving down the highway, my vehicle's engine seized and i lost all power to my vehicle. My wife and 2 children (4 and 6) were in the vehicle. We were able to coast off of the road and into a gas station parking lot. I contacted the manufacturer and was told that it would be my responsibility to tow the vehicle, find immediate transportation, and pay for a rental vehicle until it had been determined that the engine failure was due to hyundai safety recall 162. I feel that my family's safety was unnecessarily put at risk as i had my vehicle at the dealership two days prior for this exact recall. The original dealership examining the vehicle is checkered flag hyundai. Because i was out of town, my vehicle was towed to tysinger hyundai where it is currently located awaiting an engine replacement.
