Does the 2014 Hyundai Sonata have a timing belt or chain?

A 2014 Hyundai Sonata is equipped with a timing chain. This part is comprised of many links, just like a bicycle chain. In most cases, it will last the life of the vehicle, unlike a belt that needs routine replacement. However, there are exceptions. Recognizing the symptoms of a failing chain will help catch a potential problem before it has time to break and cause expensive engine damage. A rattling sound in the engine compartment is the most common symptom. Friction can cause small pieces to break off and fall below in the oil drain pan. These bounce around and create a rattling sound while the vehicle is in motion. If You hear this sound, make a service appointment right away. Metal shavings in the oil is another sign of a failing part. The average cost to replace the timing chain on a 2014 Sonata is $660 to $800, including labor.
