Toyota C-HR common problems and recalls

• Recall · ToyotaElectrics

  Recall: digital instrument display can stay blank

  The instrument cluster writes unnecessary repeated data to its memory, which can wear out so the display stays blank at start-up — permanently. The meter is reprogrammed or replaced.

• Reported by 3 publishersBody & corrosion

  Windscreen cracking without an impact

  Owners of the first C-HR have reported the windscreen cracking on its own, usually starting at the top of the glass (often the top right corner) and spreading down. A replacement screen has to be fitted and the camera and laser for the safety systems recalibrated, so it is a dealer job.

  Applies to: C-HR Mk1 (2016–2023), all engines
