Why is the coolant light on my Hyundai dashboard on?

Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Do your pets a favor and have an antifreeze leak investigated ASAP. Then hose down the driveway or garage floor!

Do Hyundai Tucson radiators need to be cleaned?

It could be a good idea to have your Hyundai Tucson radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.

What can cause my Tucson to overheat?

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 rust in my Tucson radiator bad?

Yes. Having rust in your Hyundai Tucson radiator can cause leaks, a reduction in cooling efficiency, and even radiator failure. If rust is left untreated, it can corrode the radiator's cooling passages, causing small cracks or holes that can significantly impact the radiator's ability to function. To help prevent rust from becoming a major issue, it's important to properly maintain your radiator system.

When to Service Your 2021 Hyundai Tucson Cooling System

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Hyundai Tucson radiator serviced. Nonetheless, you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2021 Hyundai Tucson 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 you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad. 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.
