NOT RECOMMENDED. Mine failed in less than 2.5 years and 15,000 miles.

I'll review my original review and downgrade my rating to one star. I fitted this alternator to my 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe in April 2018 after the original wore out after 17 years and 175,000 miles. That's a good, long life for an alternator. They usually serve 100,000 and 150,000 miles. This alternator died before hitting the 2 1/2 year mark with less than 15,000 miles. So my first rating is "Suitable. Is working. Still working six months later. What more could you want from a spare part? was wrong. Any alternator that only lasts two years with moderate use and forces you to do the same job twice is a waste of time and money. I advise you to buy it from someone else.
