Description of the problem	Below is a recall from hyundai regarding the engine. We took the vehicle to get it inspected and the dealer stated it was fine, however, a year later the motor had to be replaced, and the recall info below is exactly what the problem was. The vehicle stalled while driving is how we noticed the issue. Our concern is; hyundai told us it was fine when we took it in to get inspected and now that the engine has been replaced (by us) hyundai stated that it was after the 120,000 mile limit (126,000) that is on the recall so no help is provided. If it had been inspected properly the first time, we may have not had to pay to have it replaced, also, if there is a problem, why put a limit on it (120,000), just replace what is not working properly or repair what is the problem... Or make sure techs know how to inspect the concerns properly. Is there any help or resource you can provide?
