Does the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe have a timing belt or chain?

The 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe is equipped with a timing chain, which is found inside the engine. It needs to be properly lubricated with oil at all times to ensure it accurately synC-HRonizes the crankshaft and camshaft. These components control the opening and closing of valves every time the engine fires. Unlike a belt, which requires routine replacement, a timing chain is designed to last the life of the vehicle. However, this doesn't always happen. If You hear rattling in the engine compartment or notice metal shavings in the oil, You need to have the vehicle inspected. These are signs of a loose, damaged, or failing chain. If it breaks, expensive engine damage can be resulted. The average cost to replace a chain in a 2016 Santa Fe is $670 to $830. Labor makes up about $580 to $730 of that total.
