The 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe features a timing chain located inside the engine that must be consistently oiled to ensure it synchronizes the crankshaft and camshaft properly. This timing chain controls the valve movements during the engine's operations. Unlike a timing belt that needs regular replacement, the timing chain is designed to last for the vehicle's lifetime, though this isn't always the case. If you hear engine rattling or detect metal shavings in the oil, it's crucial to have your vehicle inspected for signs of a loose, damaged, or failing chain. A broken timing chain can lead to costly engine damage, with replacement costs for a 2016 Santa Fe ranging from $670 to $830 on average, with labor accounting for $580 to $730 of this amount.
