What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Hyundai?

Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.

Can an antifreeze leak wait?

It's better to get it fixed sooner than later. Antifreeze is toxic if consumed, but its smell can attract cats and dogs. Keep your whole family safe by repairing antifreeze leaks ASAP and thoroughly hosing down your parking spot to get rid of any lingering residue on the ground.

Do Hyundai Tucson radiators need to be cleaned?

To keep your Hyundai Tucson radiator running well, it’s wise to get it cleaned out a few times a year.

Why is my Tucson overheating?

If your Hyundai Tucson engine overheats, it could be because of a clogged radiator, a damaged thermostat, a faulty cooling fan, a malfunctioning water pump, or low coolant levels.

What can cause a Tucson radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds?

If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your Tucson. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.

Is it bad to have rust on my Tucson radiator?

Yes. Rust in your Hyundai Tucson radiator could reduce cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even lead to radiator failure. Left unchecked, rust can damage the radiator's cooling passages causing small holes or cracks in the radiator. Maintain your radiator system to help prevent rust.

When to Service Your 2018 Hyundai Tucson Cooling System

It can be tough to know when to have your Hyundai Tucson radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but it’s vital to know what to look for. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, the engine can overheat – or worse, break down.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2018 Hyundai Tucson is essential for long-term engine health. Hyundai recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you notice a low coolant light or higher-than-normal engine temperatures on your dashboard, or if you spot coolant leaks coming from your car. When you experience one or more of these issues, head to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.
