This is referring to NHTSA recall 20V705000 a/k/a Hyundai TSB: 21-01047H-2 whereas my 2008 Hyundai Veracruz was brought into a Hyundai dealership regarding the above mentioned safety recall. Dealer refused to remedy the recall without first purchasing an otherwise irrelevant part to the remedy. The TSB clearly states all parts and labor necessary to honoring the safety recall would be granted to the consumer. This refusal to honor a recall poses a safety hazard as this vehicle is my sole form of transportation.
The contact's mother owns a 2008 Hyundai Veracruz. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled while at a stoplight. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was previously taken to the local dealer to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 14V415000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) and 20V705000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted online and declined to assist with reimbursement. The failure mileage was approximately 175,044.
Radiator needs fluid and the liquid would go to the engine. The head gasket is blown. Repaired multiple times still giving the same issue. Oil is leaking.
The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Veracruz. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the brakes seized in the middle of the highway. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact's wife and a nearby driver were able to guide the vehicle to the shoulder of the roadway. The contact's wife raised the hood, and the contact became aware that smoke was coming from the ABS module accompanied by electrical sparks. The contact’s wife turned the vehicle off. The contact noticed that the aluminum ABS module casing was burned. The contact disconnected the battery and the ABS fuse, which stopped the smoke and the electrical sparks. The vehicle was then driven to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.
ABS Anti-Lock Brake System Failure (ABS Control Unit) As seen in NHTSA CAMPAIGN [XXX], for newer year models, The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module may leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrical short, which can result in an engine compartment fire while parked or driving. This recall should also include 2008-2010 Hyundai Veracruz's as the ABS Module is the same part number and can leak brake fluid. This can lead to serious injury or death as the car may not function as intended or catch on fire. I noticed a strong burning smell similar to burning toast when the car was dropped off at the shop. My Mechanics noticed my ABS Control Unit had liquid coming out of the poorly sealed module, and told me to report this to the NTSHA. The unit had to be replaced for about $3800. The first symptom is the ESC Light flashing while driving. Others include the AWD Light, Brake Light, ABS Light, and, Traction Control Lights. On many forums like the link shown below other people have experienced this issue on the 2008 Hyundai Veracruz as well. This indicate that the recall should be pushed to ALL Veracruz models. Hyundai should be responsible for the safety of all Veracruz owners just not a few. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Component or System Failed or Malfunctioned: The ABS harness connecting to the ABS module is the primary culprit. Specifically, the top part of the harness is not adequately sealed, which has led to water ingress and subsequent wire shorting. Availability for Inspection: No, the ABS harness is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: The malfunctioning ABS harness poses a significant safety risk. When the ABS system fails, it affects braking performance, stability control, and traction control. This jeopardizes the safety of both the driver and other road users. Confirmation by Service Centers: While the issue was previously identified by the Hyundai Dealer it was attributed to a short in the Tow Hitch Wire. Unfortunately, the problem was not adequately resolved at that time. The recent appearance of the ESC Light, ABS Light, and Traction Control Light confirms that the issue persists. Inspections: The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives specifically for this issue. However, the symptoms (warning lights) have been observed consistently during driving. Warning Lamps and Symptoms: ESC Light: Periodic flashing and occasional getting stuck. ABS Light and Traction Control Light: Illuminating after driving, especially during turns or rapid acceleration. These symptoms have been present for an extended period. Cause Assessment: The top part of the ABS harnesses not being properly sealed has allowed water ingress, leading to wire shorting.
The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Veracruz. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle started shaking violently and lost motive power and stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drive to his residence. The contact became aware that the alternator had shattered and was filled with oil. The contact called and notified the local dealer about the failure however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.
We received a recall notice during the pandemic for an issue that previously was a recall. It was repaired but was not a permanent fix. There was oil leaking on the alternator but we were told that they couldn't make the repair for three months due to being so backed up. We understood and put off the repair until they were more caught up. We took our Veracruz in for the repair, which was supposed to be at no cost to us, only to have the dealership want over $2000 to repair it or they said they couldn't guarantee that oil wouldn't continue to drip onto the alternator. We declined the extra cost because the recall was to replace the alternator and install an oil protector. They told us that our vehicle would be ready at a certain time and it wasn't. When we finally got it back they left out parts and didn't let us know they had them but easily located them when we went back to get them. The next morning after we picked up our vehicle it was dead and there was oil all over the inside under the hood. We are not sure that the alternator was changed and no oil protector was installed. We tried contacting Hyundai Customer Care but after a week of phone tag they told us we would need to contact the dealership that we originally went to and so far they have not responded. At this point we are just frustrated and are ready to get rid of the vehicle because even when we were able to get it to drive it kept shutting off while going down the road making it very unsafe. We are contacting you because we don't know what else to do and if we do find someone to take it, we don't want to put someone else in a dangerous position thinking it is fixed when it is not.

Recall received 9/2021;brought car in for service to Lake Norman Hyundai 9/2021; service department confirmed recall and stated parts needed to be ordered for recall:contacted dealer 12/2021 was informed parts were not due to supply chain and to call back in January 2022. Called early January 2022 part was not in; 1/19/2022 engine light came on and car tugged as I entered my neighborhood: contacted service department to inform engine light was now on; was informed parts were in and to bring car in; brought car in never received call from service; call managing partner Cam Stewart was informed parts were not in for recall and engine failed-was asked if I wanted to trade the car in; replied no I would like the car repaired. Car remained in service who informed the engine failure was not a result of recall. Filed complaint with Hyundai Motor Services, Hyundai Motor Services stood by claim. The recall letter indicates the engine could shut off as a result of recall not being repaired. The time frame of prolonging the repair, in my opinion, is a direct result of car failure. Hyundai has failed and is unwilling to remedy the defect within a reasonable time.

Unknown. While driving on the expressway at 75 miles an hour my ESC off light appeared check engine light appeared TPMS light appeared brake light appeared and the speedometer dropped from 75 mile an hour down to zero. Reported the problem on or tried to report the problem on January 2 to Superior Hyundai South Cincinnati received no answer back from service department finally went down three days later was told to leave the car and they would look at it. Ghecked on google about symptoms and noticed there were many complaints about same problem. Repairs anywhere from$2500.00 to the estimate I received for $4700.00was told it was anti lock brake pump system. Feel like there should be a recall with so many complaints about this problem.
Hunter Hyundai scheduled intake of my car for recall purposes on December 23, 2021. A little over a month later, they returned the car to me saying the alternator was coming from Korea and they did not know when it would arrive. My car cannot be driven and has sat in my driveway all this time. They still don't know when the part should arrive. I feel the dealer has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable time.

My vehicle has a oil leakage in the LH and RH valve cover gasket that the dealer is stating to replace. Currently there is a recall for the Veracruz: OIL MAY LEAK FROM THE FRONT CYLINDER BANK COVER GASKET, POTENTIALLY DRIPPING ONTO THE ALTERNATOR AND CAUSING THE CHARGING SYSTEM TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. 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 WILL BE INSTALLED ON ALL. However the dealer is stating that the recall only covers the LH cover gasket. The recall remedy does not state. Therefore the issue is not fully resolved.

HYUNDAI VERACRUZ ALTERNATOR-ALTERNATOR-RECALL- WHEN IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION WHEN LEAKING. CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. HYUNDAI REPLACED THE ORIGINAL VALVE COVER GASKET UNDER RECALL ON NOVEMBER 25, 2014. THE RECALL WAS BASED ON OIL LEAKS AND ALTERNATOR FAILURES. HYUNDAI WOULD NOT REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR EVEN THOUGH IT WAS COVERED IN OIL AT THAT TIME. A FEW YEARS LATER, OUR ALTERNATOR FAILED (APRIL 2019). WE PAID A MECHANIC $750 TO REPLACE THAT ALTERNATOR. THE MECHANIC STATED FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY OIL SATURATION. HYUNDAI HAS ISSUED ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN DETERMINED. I RECENTLY HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND THEY MENTIONED THE VALVE COVER GASKET IS LEAKING OIL ON THE NEWER ALTERNATOR AND THE ALTERNATOR IS COVERED IN OIL AGAIN. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AFTER RECEIVING MULTIPLE RECALL NOTICES STARTING IN NOVEMBER 2020 AND A REIMBURSEMENT CLAIM WAS FILED. HYUNDAI DENIED MY CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE I DID NOT PROVIDE A VALID REASON. HYUNDAI IS STILL SENDING ME RECALL NOTICES, BUT THEY CLAIM TO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THE ISSUE. I AM FORCED TO CLEAN THE ALTERNATOR OFF MONTHLY TO AVOID FAILURE. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH POSSIBLE RESOLUTIONS.
