Why it was recalled

The problem: a crash risk.

NHTSA's defect summary: “Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2026 C-HR battery electric vehicles. A software programming error may cause the electric drive system battery to become overcharged under certain driving conditions, which can shut down the electric drive system and result in a loss of drive power.”

The consequence, according to NHTSA: “An unexpected loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.”

What to do
