6 recalls across 6 model years
The Hyundai Veracruz has 6 recalls covering all 2007-2012 model years, with the most serious being a brake fluid leak into the anti-lock brake control module on 2010-2012 models that can cause an electrical short and start an engine compartment fire, even when the vehicle is parked and off.
The fire risk from that brake fluid intrusion applies specifically to the 2010-2012 model years and was the subject of a prior repair attempt that did not fully resolve the issue for all affected vehicles.
The other significant concern spans the entire 2007-2012 production run: engine oil can leak from the front cylinder bank valve cover gasket and drip onto the alternator. When this happens, the alternator can fail, the charging system warning light comes on, and if driving continues, the engine loses power and shuts off with no ability to restart. On 2007 models specifically, this defect was addressed through multiple repair campaigns over the years after earlier fixes proved incomplete.
