Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain C-HR vehicles

TORONTO, Ontario, October 11, 2018 – Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain 2019 Model Year C-HR vehicles in Canada.  Approximately 609 vehicles are involved in this recall.

There is a possibility that one or more rear axle bearing bolts on some vehicles may not have been tightened sufficiently during the manufacturing process. If one or more bolts become loose or detach during vehicle operation, they could damage the rear brake components or rear wheels, resulting in reduced brake performance or a potential loss of vehicle stability. This could increase the risk of a crash.

For all involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will check the rear axle hub bearing bolts. If a bolt is found to be loose or detached, the dealer will replace the rear axle hub bearing assembly and rear axle carrier sub-assembly with new ones at no cost to customers.  Owners of all involved vehicles will receive notification starting in early November.

Information about automotive recalls, including but not limited to the list of involved vehicles, is subject to change over time.  For the most up-to-date Safety Recall information on Toyota vehicles, customers should check their vehicle’s status by visiting Toyota.ca/recall and entering their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). For any additional questions, customer support is also available by calling Toyota Customer Interaction Centre at 1-888-TOYOTA-8 (1-888-869-6828).
