When to Service Your 2022 Hyundai Elantra Cooling System

It can be tough to know when to have your Hyundai Elantra radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but it’s vital to know what to look for.

You guessed it – your engine overheats, and it may even break down completely.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2022 Hyundai Elantra is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. In fact, Hyundai recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing.
