Summary
The Toyota C-HR has 7 recalls covering the 2018-2021 model years, with the most serious affecting 2019 models where rear axle hub bearing bolts can loosen and detach, potentially damaging the rear brakes or causing a rear wheel to separate from the vehicle while driving.
The 2019 model year also has a rear seatbelt assembly issue where the belts can fail to lock up during certain crash types, reducing their ability to restrain occupants. On 2018 models, the electronic parking brake can malfunction in two directions: it may fail to apply when the driver engages it, raising the risk of rollaway on a slope if the vehicle is not in Park, or it may refuse to release after being applied. The 2021 model year has a recall covering the pre-collision radar sensor, which may not have been activated during production. With the sensor inactive, the system cannot detect a vehicle ahead, so forward collision warnings and automatic braking assist do not function, and in some cases the driver receives no warning light indicating the system is offline.
