Description of the problem	On july 4, 2019 i was driving and my vehicle suddenly broke down while driving about 60mph in manahawkin nj on rt. 72. I have not had any issues leading up to this. I had to have the vehicle towed. Since the nearest hyundai dealership was closed b/c of the holiday i had it towed to mr. Tire. They at first thought it was the alternator then the starter, but then decided it was an engine issue. I then had it towed to the dealership and they confirmed it was an engine failure and it would be covered under warranty. However it took a few weeks to even get that determination. Then i was told that parts were on back order and it would be a minimum of 3 months. After weighing options i decided to sadly trade in the vehicle. On september 9, 2019 i received a recall notice on the car (nhtsa recall #: 19vx-063; hyundai recall #: 181) for oil leak that could lead to engine damage, stalled engine, risk or crash or fire. I am very upset that i am just receiving this recall now and the incident could have been prevented. Luckily i was not on a very busy road at the time of the break down but it could have very well put me in a dangerous situation.
