FWIW, customer service told me it was a belt. Dealer said it was a
chain. Just checked Hyundai service web site and there is no mention of
timing belt replacement at about 60,000 mi in the Owner's Manual
maintenance tables. Seems to be a good bet that it is a chain.
Considering buying a 2009 Sonata and a belt would be a "deal breaker".
Thanks for your reply.

I recall reading that all engines are now chain. As for customer service,
most companies lack anyone competent. About the only thing they can do is
send you a coupon good for $1 off your next purchase.
