2019-2021 Toyota C-HR recalled with fuel pump fault
A fuel leak caused by the fault could result in an engine bay fire, according to the manufacturer.
Toyota Australia has recalled 7671 examples of its C-HR SUV, citing a potential fault with the fuel pump.
The affected vehicles were sold between 2 December 2019 and 26 May 2021 (Model Years 2019 to 2021).
The recall notice, lodged with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), says: “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 was to occur, vehicle occupants may identify a fuel odour when driving.
“A fuel leak in the engine compartment may result in an engine bay fire. A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users or bystanders.”
Toyota Australia is yet to advise if local examples of the C-HR have been affected by the fault. This story will be updated if more information becomes available.
