The 2017 Hyundai Tucson comes with either a 1.4L or 2.0L engine, both equipped with a timing chain. Older models from 2000 to 2007 used a timing belt before switching to a timing chain. The advantage of the timing chain is its longevity, designed to last the life of the car compared to the timing belt, which requires replacement every 60,000 miles. Although the timing chain is less likely to need replacement, it can still face issues such as becoming twisted or stretched from engine heat over time. If you notice anything unusual, it's recommended to have a mechanic or dealership check it out promptly.
