The Hyundai Kona comes with a timing chain covered by a 100,000-mile / 10-year powertrain warranty. While this part usually doesn't require replacement, hearing a rattling noise in the engine compartment may indicate a loose or failing chain. Similar to a bicycle chain, continuous motion can cause wear, necessitating proper lubrication with oil. The timing chain plays a crucial role in synchronizing the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets, ensuring the precise timing of intake and exhaust valve operation during engine combustion. If the chain fails, it can lead to costly damage. On average, the cost of replacing the timing chain in the Kona is between $560 and $680, which includes labor.
