Is the 2019 Hyundai Tucson equipped with a timing belt or timing chain?

Question

Accepted Answer

The 2019 Hyundai Tucson uses a timing chain rather than a belt. Timing chains are built to last the vehicle's entire lifespan, so if everything goes smoothly, you shouldn't have to worry about it. However, there is still a possibility of damage or failure. If your timing chain fails, you will quickly notice the car overheating. Replacing it will cost around $100 for the part and another $100 for labor. When purchasing online, be careful as some retailers may incorrectly label both a timing chain and a timing belt as a cam belt. A timing belt cannot be used in place of a timing chain, so ensure you are getting the correct part.
