Does the 2012 Hyundai Tucson have a timing belt or chain?

Answer 1

The 2012 Hyundai Tucson is equipped with a timing chain, not a timing belt. Timing chains are generally more durable and require less maintenance than timing belts, as they are designed to last the lifetime of the engine under normal driving conditions. However, it's still important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for regular maintenance and inspections.
