The Theta II connecting rod bearing failure (Sonata, Santa Fe, Tucson 2011-2019, 2.4L and 2.0T) is a manufacturing defect — metal debris from the bearing contaminates the oil and causes progressive engine damage. Early symptoms: engine knock at idle, elevated oil consumption. We perform a supervised oil consumption test and oil particle analysis to document the condition.
Hyundai extended the warranty on Theta II engines in many cases — but coverage requires documentation of proper oil change history. We help Hyundai owners compile service records and documentation for warranty claims. If your vehicle is out of warranty, we perform short block replacement with updated components.
