Showing coverage that applies to the Hyundai Elantra across 2007–2010.

The 2007–2010 Elantra is the fourth-generation car in CarFaultIQ's coverage. Only one configuration is recorded across these model years: a 2.0-litre four-cylinder running on regular gasoline. Records below are confined to these four model years.

What was offered in these years

  • Engine sizes: 2L
  • Cylinder counts: 4
  • Powertrain types: gasoline
  • Fuel types: regular gasoline

Displacements and powertrain types come from the imported vehicle records for these model years. A specific engine code cannot be established from displacement alone, so no engine-specific claim is made here.

Documented problems for these years

One documented page reaches these years — a brake light switch record covering 2007–2011, which extends past the end of this window into the following generation. It is worth reading alongside the recall list below, where a brake light switch campaign covering exactly 2007–2010 also appears.

Recall campaigns covering these years

Eight campaigns reach this window across five systems: hydraulic service brakes, steering, exterior lighting, air bags and gasoline fuel delivery. Two cover the full 2007–2010 range — an ABS campaign and a brake light switch campaign. The rest are narrower: an electric power steering campaign for 2008–2010, two airbag control module campaigns covering 2007–2009 and 2007–2008, two fuel pump campaigns limited to 2008, and a lighting campaign limited to 2007.

Reported complaint patterns

Six categories recur in aggregated owner reports across the whole 2007–2010 range: engine, air bags, steering, suspension, hydraulic service brakes and an unclassified group. These are reports owners filed; they mark where reporting has concentrated rather than how often anything fails.

  • Engine reported across 2007–2010
  • Air Bags reported across 2007–2010
  • Steering reported across 2007–2010
  • Unknown Or Other reported across 2007–2010
  • Suspension reported across 2007–2010
  • Service Brakes, Hydraulic reported across 2007–2010

These are categories that recur in aggregated owner reports for these years. They are evidence signals, not failure rates or proof of a defect.

Buying and inspection guidance

Braking is the best-substantiated area on this page: a documented issue page, two campaigns covering every year in the range, and a matching complaint category. The brake light switch specifically appears as both an issue page and a campaign. Broader Elantra coverage is linked below.
