Beginning in 2013 Honda has transitioned away from timing belts and all engines, including the one in the 2018 Hyundai Tucson, will have a timing chain. This is typically considered good news for owners who don't want to have to worry about performing any extra maintenance like You would with the belt. Regular oil changes will ensure that Your chain stays properly lubricated and runs well for as long as You own Your vehicle. Mechanical failures are still possible though and if You do notice any problems that You think can be caused by a failing chain You should take it to a dealer as soon as possible. A broken chain can lead to damage in other parts of Your engine as well. -

The 2018 Hyundai Tucson has a timing chain and not a timing belt. This is to ensure that you don't have to replace the belt as a timing chain is meant to last for the life of your vehicles engine.
