THE SUDDEN RUSH OF RECALLS continues with Toyota announcing a recall of the C-HR model produced between October 2019 to April 2021.
The involved vehicles are equipped with a high-pressure fuel pump for the direct injection system, which may develop cracks over time leading to fuel leakage.
For all involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will inspect the fuel pump and if necessary replace the fuel pump with an improved one free of charge to owners.
The recall affects 7600 vehicles in Australia (affected vehicle details are below). There are no symptoms before the issue arises, and afterwards, a fuel odour may be noticed. Owners are advised that they can continue driving the vehicle, but are urged to contact their local Toyota dealer to arrange an inspection.
Depending on the vehicle, it is expected that it will take approximately two hours to replace the fuel pump. However, based on the Dealer’s work schedule, it may be necessary for the owner to make the vehicle available for a longer period of time.
Toyota Australia will provide all owners of involved vehicles details of this safety recall campaign by SMS, email and mail to their last known mobile number, email or postal address. Owners are asked to keep their contact details up to date with Toyota so future communications can be received.
Owners with additional questions are asked to contact their local/preferred Toyota Dealer in the first instance or the Toyota Recall Campaign Helpline on 1800 987 366 (Mon-Fri 8:00am to 6:00pm AEST). Please quote your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
