Some Hyundai Veracruz owners report experiencing oil leaks from the front cylinder bank cover gasket, which can lead to oil dripping onto the alternator and causing the charging system to fail. This issue has resulted in alternator failures and subsequent battery problems, particularly in the 2007-2012 models. Additionally, some owners have noted damage to the alternator due to these oil leaks from the valve cover gasket. This concern has been significant enough to prompt recalls by Hyundai to address the situation. If owners encounter a front main seal leak that leads to alternator burnout, it is recommended to contact a Hyundai dealership for information on available solutions or recalls related to this issue.
