Description of the problem	My car (2012 hyundai tucson) was effected by recall 181, announced in april of 2019. My engine seized while driving down the highway at 80 mph, luckily we were able to pull on to the shoulder safely. Had it been a mile or two down the road this would have happened in a tunnel and the outcome could have been dramatically different as there is no shoulder. I had the car towed to my local garage where they tested various things including starter, alternator, battery etc and determined the engine had seized. I had to have the car towed to the dealership and again after running diagnostic it was determined that the engine is seized. Now i am in a waiting game to see if hyundai will do the right thing and replace the engine.
