Affected Vehicles
Certain 2007-2012MY Veracruz (EN) vehicles
Description
Hyundai is conducting a safety recall in the United States to address a condition of engine oil leaking onto the alternator in vehicles involved in Recall 121, a safety recall addressing a similar condition, issued in November 2014. Hyundai is initiating this action to ensure the safety and compliance of its vehicles and the continued satisfaction of Hyundai customers.
The subject vehicles were involved in Recall 121, a safety recall addressing a condition with engines potentially leaking oil from the front cylinder bank’s valve cover onto the alternator. In a small number of cases, the remedy implementation in the previous campaign may not have been sufficient in preventing oil leaking from the valve cover’s gasket. A sufficient amount of oil could damage the alternator, resulting in illumination of the charging system warning lamp and disablement of the charging system. If the vehicle is continually driven without recharging the battery, the engine will eventually shut off, increasing the risk of a crash.
This recall provides information on the service procedures to inspect for T-Joint leakage and install an oil protector to address the concern:
- If T-Joint shows no leakage, install oil protector.
- If T-Joint shows leakage, replace the LH cylinder head cover gasket, alternator, and install the oil protector.
Q&A
Q1: What is the issue?
A1: The subject vehicles were involved in Recall 121, a safety recall addressing a condition with engines potentially leaking oil from the front cylinder bank’s valve cover onto the alternator. In a small number of cases, the remedy implementation in the previous campaign may not have been sufficient in preventing oil leaking from the valve cover’s gasket. A sufficient amount of oil could damage the alternator, resulting in illumination of the charging system warning lamp and disablement of the charging system.
Q2: What are the affected vehicles?
A2: The subject vehicles include 60,097 model year 2007-2012 Hyundai Veracruz vehicles built between December 26, 2006 and July 24, 2012 by Hyundai Motor Company (“HMC”) for sale in the U.S. market.
Q3: What is the safety concern?
A3: If the vehicle is continually driven without recharging the battery, the engine will eventually shut off increasing the risk of a crash.
Q4: Have there been any accidents or injuries?
A4: To date, Hyundai is not aware of any crashes or injuries/fatalities in the U.S. attributable to this condition.
Q5: What will be done during the recall service at the dealer?
A5: The remedy will include new dealer instructions on performing the repair. Based on an inspection, vehicles identified with no oil leakage specified in the ‘T’ joint area will have an oil protector installed with RTV sealant application. For those vehicles identified with oil leakage, the valve cover gasket and alternator will also be replaced for those vehicles identified with an oil leakage in addition to the installation of oil protector with RTV sealant application. An oil protector cover will be installed on all vehicles. Details will also be provided on site cleanliness and additional RTV sealant application in the area where oil leaks occur. The remedy procedure will be performed at no charge to the customer. Hyundai will provide reimbursement to owners for repairs according to the plan submitted to NHTSA on May 16, 2018.
Q6: When will owners be notified?
A6: Owners were mailed interim notification letters in January 2021, March 2021, and May 2021. Owners were mailed notification letters regarding remedy available in early September 2021.
Q7: If Recall 121 that addresses the same concern for the engine oil leak onto the alternator was completed for the vehicle, do I still need to get Recall 197 done?
A7: Yes, Recall 197 still needs to be completed on the vehicle. This Recall 197 also includes the installation of an oil protector cover on all vehicles to prevent oil leakage from the valve cover gasket onto the alternator. It also includes very specific details on site cleanliness and application of RTV sealant on all vehicles in the area where oil leaks occur.
Q8: What if the owner asks why he/she should get recall 197 completed on his/her vehicle when recall 121 was already completed addressing the same issue?
A8: Please let the owner/customer know that Hyundai is first and foremost concerned about the safety of its owners and the compliance of its vehicles. While recall 121 previously addressed the same concern, recall 197 provides an updated remedy with installation of an oil protector with sealant application on all vehicles and sealant application in the area where oil leaks occur.

This notice applies to your Hyundai, VIN:
Dear
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Hyundai has decided that a defect which
relates to motor vehicle safety exists in your vehicle, with the VIN shown above. Hyundai is conducting a safety recall in the United States
to address a condition of engine oil leaking onto the alternator in vehicles involved in Recall 121 (NHTSA number 14V-415), a safety recall
addressing a similar condition, issued in November 2014 in certain model 2007 – 2012 Veracruz vehicles built by Hyundai Motor Company
(“HMC”) for sale in the U.S. market.
The purpose of this letter is to explain what the recall is about and to keep you informed of Hyundai’s recall implementation plan. We are
currently making preparations to implement the safety recall remedy which when available, will be performed at no cost to you. We will
send you another notification when the remedy is available.
What is the problem?
The subject vehicles were involved in Recall 121, a safety recall addressing a condition with engines potentially leaking oil from the front
cylinder bank’s valve cover onto the alternator. In certain cases, the remedy implementation in the previous campaign may not have
been sufficient in preventing oil leaking from the valve cover’s gasket. A sufficient amount of oil could damage the alternator resulting
in illumination of the charging system warning lamp and disablement of the charging system. If the vehicle is continually driven with a
disabled charging system, the engine can shut off, increasing the risk of a crash.
What should you do in the interim?
We appreciate your patience. Hyundai is currently making preparations to implement the recall remedy. You will receive a second
notification letter when the remedy is available. If the Malfunction Indicator Light is illuminated in your vehicle, you should seek service at
your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. For updated information regarding this recall, please visit:
www.HyundaiUSA.com/Campaign197
If you have other questions
If you require further assistance, you may contact the Hyundai Customer Care Center at 1-855-371-9460. If you believe that the dealer or
Hyundai has failed or is unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable time, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue S.E., Washington, D.C. 20590, or call the toll free Vehicle Safety Hot Line
at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to https://www.safercar.gov.

This notice applies to your Hyundai, VIN:
Dear >
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Hyundai has decided that a defect
which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in your vehicle, with the VIN shown above. Hyundai is conducting a safety recall in the United
States to address a condition of engine oil leaking onto the alternator in vehicles involved in Recall 121 (NHTSA number 14V-415), a safety
recall addressing a similar condition, issued in November 2014 in certain model 2007 – 2012 Veracruz vehicles built by Hyundai Motor
Company (“HMC”) for sale in the U.S. market.
What is the problem?
The subject vehicles were involved in Recall 121, a safety recall addressing a condition with engines potentially leaking oil from the front
cylinder bank’s valve cover onto the alternator. In certain cases, the remedy implementation in the previous campaign may not have
been sufficient in preventing oil leaking from the valve cover’s gasket. A sufficient amount of oil could damage the alternator resulting
in illumination of the charging system warning lamp and disablement of the charging system. If the vehicle is continually driven with a
disabled charging system, the engine can shut off, increasing the risk of a crash.
What will Hyundai do?
Your Hyundai dealer will inspect for T-joint leakage and install an oil protector to address this issue. If after inspection the T-Joint shows
leakage, the dealer will replace the LH cylinder head cover gasket and alternator before installing the oil protector. This procedure will be
performed at NO CHARGE to you.
What should you do?
Please contact your nearest Hyundai dealer to schedule the recall repair as soon as possible.
If the Malfunction Indicator Light is illuminated in your vehicle, you should seek service at your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The
actual time required to perform the inspection will take approximately one hour, and repairs may take up to 2 hours, however your vehicle
may be needed longer. Therefore, we recommend scheduling a service appointment to minimize inconvenience.
If you have other questions
If you require further assistance, you may contact the Hyundai Customer Care Center at 1-855-371-9460. If you believe that the dealer or
Hyundai has failed or is unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable time, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue S.E., Washington, D.C. 20590, or call the toll free Vehicle Safety Hot Line
at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to https://www.safercar.gov.
Thank you for your attention to this important safety matter. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Affected Vehicles
Certain 2007-2012MY Veracruz (EN) vehicles
Description
Hyundai is conducting a safety recall in the United States to address a condition of engine oil leaking onto the alternator in vehicles involved in Recall 121, a safety recall addressing a similar condition, issued in November 2014. Hyundai is initiating this action to ensure the safety and compliance of its vehicles and the continued satisfaction of Hyundai customers.
The subject vehicles were involved in Recall 121, a safety recall addressing a condition with engines potentially leaking oil from the front cylinder bank’s valve cover onto the alternator. In a small number of cases, the remedy implementation in the previous campaign may not have been sufficient in preventing oil leaking from the valve cover’s gasket. A sufficient amount of oil could damage the alternator, resulting in illumination of the charging system warning lamp and disablement of the charging system. If the vehicle is continually driven without recharging the battery, the engine will eventually shut off, increasing the risk of a crash.
This recall provides information on the service procedures to inspect for T-Joint leakage and install an oil protector to address the concern:
• If T-Joint shows no leakage, install oil protector.
• If T-Joint shows leakage, replace the LH cylinder head cover gasket, alternator, and install the oil protector.
Service Action
