2014 Hyundai Sonata Service and Repair Manual
Fitment is what makes this book usable on a 2014 Hyundai Sonata: the factory service and repair manual is keyed to this exact year, engine and trim, so the specifications and service sequences it gives are the ones Hyundai published for this car instead of figures carried across from a neighboring model year.

Known issues on the 2014 Sonata. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year, and three of them come back to a fuel leak. Two, campaigns 20V121000 and 22V312000, both cover the low pressure fuel hose that connects the low pressure fuel pump to the direct injection fuel pump, which may crack; a cracked hose may leak fuel, increasing the risk of a fire. A third, campaign 18V934000, reaches cars previously repaired under recall numbers 15V-568 and 17V-226 and concerns the high pressure fuel pipe, where a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. A fourth, campaign 17V226000, covers the engine itself: machining errors during the engine manufacturing process may cause premature bearing wear, and bearing wear may result in the engine seizing, increasing the risk of a crash. The fifth, campaign 17V152000, covers the front seat belt anchorages, where the seat belt linkages for both front seat belts may detach from the anchor pretensioners in a crash. Owners have filed 1,068 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 126 technical service bulletins.
Whether you are tracing a fuel odor back to the low pressure hose, investigating bearing noise before the engine lets go, or working a scheduled service on the turbocharged 2.0L or the hybrid, it holds you to Hyundai's own procedure and the correct figure for your 2014 Sonata.
