2011 Hyundai Elantra Service and Repair Manual

The 2011 Elantra was built in two engine configurations across eight trims, and this factory service and repair manual carries Hyundai's own figures for that model year — matched to the exact year, engine and trim of your car — so every clearance, setting and tightening sequence you follow is the number written for this vehicle rather than a close approximation carried over from another year of the model.

Known issues on the 2011 Elantra. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the electronic stability control system: if one or more of the brakes are inappropriately applied, control of the vehicle may be lost. The second involves the antilock system within the hydraulic service brakes, where an engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury. The third concerns the front coil springs: a fractured spring may contact the tire, possibly puncturing it. The fourth covers the electrical equipment, specifically the 12V accessory socket, where an overheated accessory outlet increases the risk of fire. The fifth involves the side and window air bags: the headliner support bracket can make contact with an occupant during a crash. Owners have filed 588 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 111 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From tracing a stability-control fault to inspecting the front coil springs or servicing the brake hydraulics, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2011 Elantra.
