In this 2016 Honda HR-V, it utilizes a timing chain rather than a belt. The timing chain is engineered to endure the entire lifespan of the vehicle, so as long as everything goes well, you shouldn't have to worry about it. However, it is still susceptible to damage and potential failure. If this occurs, you'll immediately notice the car overheating. If you have to replace it, the new part will cost around $100, along with an additional $100 for labor. When purchasing a replacement chain online, be careful as some retailers may incorrectly label both a timing chain and a timing belt as a cam belt. Using a timing belt will not work and could leave you with a useless part.
