The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Item as described quick delivery

Hyundai built the 2012 Azera around a single V6 powertrain, and this factory service and repair manual is matched to that exact year, engine and trim — every specification and tightening sequence in it is the figure Hyundai published for this sedan, not a number carried over from the 2011 or 2013 model year.

Engines covered

  • 3.3L V6 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • Base

Known issues on the 2012 Azera. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. Campaign 13V264000 covers the frontal air bag sensor and control module: on model year 2012–2013 Azera vehicles manufactured May 22, 2012 through November 23, 2012, the occupant detection system may fail, and if the occupant is incorrectly classified that comes into play in a crash necessitating airbag deployment. Campaign 23V651000 covers the hydraulic service brakes — the antilock and traction control system — on a group of 2011–2015 Hyundai models that includes the 2012–2015 Azera; an engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury. Owners have filed 82 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 62 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you are diagnosing the occupant detection system, working through the antilock brake system, or keeping the 3.3L V6 on its service schedule, it holds you to Hyundai's own procedure for your specific 2012 Azera.

NHTSA #13V26400025/06/2013Component: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE-INACTIVE

Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Azera vehicles manufactured May 22, 2012, through November 23, 2012. The occupant detection system may fail to properly differentiate whether the front passenger seat occupant is an adult, a child or a child restraint seat.

Consequence

If the occupant is incorrectly classified, in the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment, the airbag may deploy with greater or lesser force than appropriate, resulting in an increased risk of injury.

Remedy

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will recalibrate the airbag system. The recall beagan on August 13, 2013. Hyundai's recall number is "Campaign 111." Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011-2015 Elantra, Genesis Coupe, Sonata Hybrid, 2012-2015 Accent, Azera, Veloster, 2013-2015 Elantra Coupe, Santa Fe, 2014-2015 Equus, 2010-2012 Veracruz, 2010-2013 Tucson, 2015 Tucson Fuel Cell, and 2013 Santa Fe Sport vehicles. The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module may leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrical short, which can result in an engine compartment fire while parked or driving.

Consequence

12/16/2021Component: STEERING

The steering on this vehicle started to have some play in it, including some intense vibrating as I drove down the road. My analysis is that the coupler within the steering motor is made of a flimsy material that breaks down relatively easily. This issue has obviously become clear to Hyundai, as they have created an updated version of the coupler. However, the issue is serious enough that there are many people who have shared about it on forums/YouTube/etc., and is a legitimate danger to drivers
