Recalls: Toyota C-HR
Overview
Manufacturers, or importers, issue recalls for defects or faults which have the potential to cause injury. Generally, manufacturers will inform the original buyers if their vehicle is subject to a recall and of the steps required to remedy the defect or fault. Please note that the recalls below (if any) are for Australian-delivered vehicles only. Furthermore, the number of recalls should not be taken as an indication of a model’s reliability or its safety more generally.
Recalls: Toyota C-HR
2016-17 Toyota C-HR: Electronic Park Brake (EPB) may not work
In November 2017, a recall was issued for Toyota C-HR vehicles that were manufactured from 26 July 2016 to 10 October 2017. In these vehicles, the Skid Control Electronic Control Unit may incorrectly identify a small increase in circuit resistance of the Electronic Park Brake (EPB) motor as an open circuit. If this occurred, the EPB warning light would illuminate and the EPB may not work. If the vehicle was parked on an incline and the parking brake was not working, a shift position other than ‘Park’ (for models with automatic transmissions) or in ‘N’ (for models with manual transmissions) could cause the vehicle to move, increasing the risk of a collision (PRA 2017/16438). The recalled Toyota C-HR vehicles had VINs in the following ranges:
- JTN KY3BX# 01000101 to JTN KY3BX# 01005278; and,
- JTN LY3FX# 01000102 to JTN LY3FX# 01002497.
2019-21 Toyota C-HR: fuel pump leak and fire hazard
In June 2021, recall campaign WGG27 was issued for 2019-21 Toyota C-HR vehicles. For these vehicles, internal components of the fuel pump may wear and fracture the welded area of the fuel pump; this could lead to a fuel leak in the engine compartment. A fuel leak in the engine compartment could result in an engine bay fire, while also increasing the risk of a collision for vehicle occupants and other road users. To fix, a Toyota dealer was to replace the fuel pump. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-001645.
2016-20 Toyota C-HR: label not affixed to towbar
In February 2022, recall campaign WGG72 was issued for 2016-20 Toyota C-HR vehicles that had towbars. These vehicles were not compliant with Australian Design Rule ADR 62/02 because a label was not affixed to the towbar. To fix, an ECE 55-01 compliance label was to be applied to the towbar. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005051.
2020-21 Toyota C-HR: Pre-Collision System (PCS) may not operate
In March 2022, recall campaign XGG08 was issued for 2020-21 Toyota C-HR vehicles. In these vehicles, the front radar sensor – which supported various driver assistance features, including the Pre-Collision System (PCS) – may not have been calibrated during vehicle manufactured. The PCS may therefore not operate as intended; for example, it may fail to detect a vehicle in front and warn the driver, or fail to apply the brake as intended. Both these circumstances increased the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005068.
2019-23 Toyota C-HR 1.2L Petrol: potential fuel leak and engine bay fire
In October 2023, recall campaign YGG72 was issued for 2019-23 Toyota C-HR vehicles that had 1.2-litre petrol engines. This recall was a re-notification and expansion to recall campaign WGG27. In the recalled vehicles, the internal components of the fuel pump may wear and fracture the welded area of the fuel pump, which could lead to a fuel leak in the engine compartment. If this occurred, the driver may notice a fuel odour when driving. Furthermore, the fuel could ignite and cause an engine bay fire, posing a risk to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders. To fix, the fuel pump was to be replaced. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005804.
