2022 Hyundai Sonata Service and Repair Manual
Because a 2022 Sonata could leave the factory as a 1.6L turbo, a 2.5L naturally aspirated or turbocharged four, or a full hybrid, service data varies sharply across the line. This factory service and repair manual is tied to the exact 2022 Hyundai Sonata year, engine and trim in front of you, so the specifications and procedures it lists are the ones Hyundai published for that build rather than a figure averaged across the range.

Known issues on the 2022 Sonata. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the gasoline fuel system: a damaged check valve can allow air to enter the fuel tank, causing it to expand and contact hot exhaust components, and a melted fuel tank can leak, increasing the risk of a fire. A second covers fuel delivery hoses, lines and fittings on cars equipped with the 2.5L turbocharged engine, where fuel may leak at the pipe connection; a fuel leak increases the risk of a fire. The third covers the automatic transmission, involving the vehicle's "fail-safe" limited-mobility drive mode, where loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 129 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 77 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a fuel leak at the pipe connection on a 2.5L turbocharged car to one that has dropped into fail-safe limited-mobility mode, it keeps you on Hyundai's own procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2022 Sonata.
