2007 Hyundai Elantra Service and Repair Manual

Hyundai sold the 2007 Elantra as a four-door sedan on a single engine and three trim levels, and the service data here is tied to that combination: the torque figures, clearances and diagnostic sequences are the ones Hyundai published for the 2007 car, not values carried over from an adjacent model year.

Engines covered

• 2.0L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

• 4-door sedan

Trims covered

• GLS
• Limited
• SE

Known issues on the 2007 Elantra. Six recalls are on federal record for this model year, and three of them trace back to the same part: a malfunctioning stop lamp switch that can keep the brake lights from illuminating during braking and can prevent the cruise control from disengaging, failures that alone or in combination may lead to a crash. Two more concern the frontal air bag sensing hardware — a weight sensor in the front passenger seat that can allow the passenger air bag to deploy in crashes in which it should not, and a fault tied to the driver's seat track position sensor that can produce a higher-pressure air bag deployment than intended, increasing the risk of injury. The sixth covers the antilock brake system, where an electrical short within the ABS module may cause an engine compartment fire. Owners have filed 365 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 49 technical service bulletins.

Whether the job is a stop lamp switch replacement, an air bag sensor diagnosis, or an ordinary maintenance interval, the procedure and the specification are the ones Hyundai wrote for the 2007 Elantra.
