Hyundai built the 2010 Azera around two V6 powertrains, and this factory service and repair manual is keyed to exactly that combination: your year, engine and trim. Every clearance, sequence and specification in it is the figure Hyundai issued for the 2010 car, not an approximation carried over from a neighboring model year.
Engines covered
- 3.3L V6 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
- 3.8L V6 (231 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 4-door sedan
Trims covered
- GLS
- Limited
Known issues on the 2010 Azera. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first concerns the rear suspension: control arm separation may suddenly change the rear wheel alignment, affecting handling. The second covers the brake light switch, where the stop lamps may fail to illuminate during braking or the cruise control may not disengage. Owners have filed 11 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 29 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are in this manual.
From inspecting the rear control arms to replacing a stop lamp switch or working a scheduled service on either V6, it keeps you on Hyundai's own procedure and the correct specification for your 2010 Azera.

Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of Park without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge. The safety recall began on April 22, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 110.
