Toyota C-HR Common Faults in Ireland
Mk1 2016–2023 — compact crossover SUV. Updated 2026-10-14.
The RSA recall pages for 2023–2026 and the CCPC notices read for this guide name the Toyota C-HR in seven Irish recalls between 2017 and 2025, including two fire-risk campaigns: an engine wire harness (cars built September 2016–May 2018) and a high-pressure fuel pump (cars built November 2017–February 2022). Check the car's registration or VIN on Toyota Ireland's Recall Checker and ask for proof that any recall work was done. This guide does not rank model years by reliability; it relies only on regulator, manufacturer and published survey sources.

Which Toyota C-HR years should you avoid?
No model year stands out in the sources checked, so none is named as worst. What the Irish recall notices show is that the affected build windows together span June 2016 to August 2023: electric parking brake warning (built June 2016–October 2017), engine wire harness (September 2016–May 2018), high-pressure fuel pump (November 2017–February 2022), brake pedal bracket bolt (June 2019–March 2020), eCall module (October 2020–August 2023) and instrument display (July 2022–May 2025, generation not stated). Not every car built inside a window is necessarily affected, so the car's own VIN record matters more than its year. This guide read the RSA recall pages for 2023–2026 and the CCPC's published notices for 2017, 2018 and 2020; the RSA's 2011–2022 archive is held by the CCPC and is released on request, so a recall published in 2021 or 2022 could be missing. Ask a Toyota dealer to check the VIN for any open campaign.
Best and worst years to buy
No model year stands out in the sources checked: no regulator or Toyota document ranks C-HR years, and the What Car? Reliability Survey (UK owners, cars up to five years old) reports the 2016–2023 generation as a whole, not by year. What the documents do show about the 2020 model-year update (Toyota Europe press release, 5 November 2019; Irish coverage of the Toyota Ireland announcement, 1 October 2019): a 2.0 Hybrid (184 PS) joined the 1.8 Hybrid (122 PS); the 1.8 Hybrid moved to a lithium-ion hybrid battery, in place of the previous nickel-metal hydride pack; Apple CarPlay and Android Auto arrived with the 2019 multimedia system; and Toyota Ireland dropped the 1.2 turbo petrol, so Irish cars from the update are hybrid-only. These are specification changes, not reliability findings. Toyota Safety Sense (pre-collision system with pedestrian recognition, adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert with steering control, automatic high beam and road sign assist) was standard across the range from the Irish launch announcement in September 2016 and at the 2020 update. Toyota Ireland's new-car warranty is 3 years or 100,000 km, and 5 years or 100,000 km on the hybrid battery and hybrid system components, whichever comes first, so a car first registered more than three years ago is outside the comprehensive cover and one first registered more than five years ago is outside the hybrid cover; see the warranty entry below for Hybrid Battery Extended Care.

Known faults — Toyota C-HR Mk1 2016–2023
Fault patterns are cross-checked against manufacturer technical bulletins, the RSA Ireland recall portal and Autoza dealer feedback. Repair costs are Irish ranges built from verified 2026 Irish labour rates, never converted from another market. Severity is colour-coded.
RSA recall: high-pressure fuel pump can crack (fuel leak, fire risk)
Major — significant repair cost- Symptoms
- RSA wording: insufficient press fitting of certain parts in the high-pressure fuel pump can put stress on the inlet control valve and crack its weld, which could lead to a fuel leak and a fuel odour; if there is an ignition source, a fuel leak can result in an increased risk of a fire.
- Years affected
- C-HR built 27 Nov 2017–4 Feb 2022: the RSA recall of 30 Jan 2024 lists 571 vehicles in Ireland across the Auris, C-HR and Corolla; a second RSA notice of 28 Nov 2024 lists 29 vehicles (C-HR built 7 May 2018–4 Feb 2022, and Corolla). The RSA does not say which engine.
- Repair cost in Ireland
- Free recall repair: the RSA says Toyota Ireland will write to affected owners to arrange an appointment with an authorised repairer, and Toyota Ireland's Recall Checker page says recall work is carried out free of charge
- What to check before buying
- Enter the car's registration or VIN in the Recall Checker on toyota.ie and get written confirmation from a Toyota dealer that any recall work has been done. The RSA recall pages have no VIN lookup; its FAQ says to check with an authorised dealer quoting the VIN, and the RSA can be emailed at vehiclerecalls@rsa.ie. Source: RSA recalls by manufacturer, 2024.
CCPC recall: engine wire harness at the hybrid power control unit (fire risk)
Major — significant repair cost- Symptoms
- Notice wording: due to assembly variation a portion of the engine wire harness connected to the hybrid Power Control Unit could contact its cover; if dust has built up, vibration may wear the wire insulation and expose the core wire, causing a short circuit and heat, with an increased risk of a vehicle fire.
- Years affected
- C-HR built Sept 2016–May 2018: the CCPC notice of 6 Sep 2018 lists 3,030 vehicles in Ireland (it also covered the Prius and Prius PHV)
- Repair cost in Ireland
- Free recall repair: the CCPC notice says Toyota Ireland would write to owners to arrange for the harness to be inspected and replaced, and that the repair is free of charge
- What to check before buying
- Ask for written proof that the engine wire harness was inspected and replaced under this campaign, and check the registration or VIN in Toyota Ireland's Recall Checker. Source: CCPC product recall notice, 6 September 2018 (the RSA's 2011–2022 archive is held by the CCPC).
CCPC recall: brake pedal bracket bolt (C-HR and Corolla)
Major — significant repair cost- Symptoms
- Notice wording: the bolt on the bracket that reinforces the brake pedal mounting may not have been torqued to the design range because of a defective bolt-tightening tool; if it loosens, the pedal could move toward the driver in a crash, and repeated high pedal force could deform and crack the mounting, altering the pedal position and increasing the risk of a crash.
- Years affected
- C-HR and Corolla built June 2019–March 2020: the CCPC notice of 26 Nov 2020 lists approximately 3,062 affected vehicles in the Republic of Ireland (one figure for both models)
- Repair cost in Ireland
- Free recall repair: Toyota Ireland said it would contact affected owners by post to arrange the work at an authorised repairer, and its Recall Checker page says recall work is carried out free of charge
- What to check before buying
- Check the registration or VIN in Toyota Ireland's Recall Checker and ask for written confirmation that the bracket bolt work was done. Source: CCPC product recall notice, 26 November 2020.
CCPC recall: electric parking brake warning (cars built June 2016–October 2017)
Moderate — service-level fix- Symptoms
- Notice wording: the skid control ECU may read a small rise in circuit resistance at the parking brake motor, typically when the brake has not been operated for a while, as an open circuit, so a warning light and an "EPB Malfunction" message appear; this can result in an inability to release the parking brake and in some cases prevent it being applied.
- Years affected
- C-HR built June 2016–October 2017: the CCPC notice of 16 Nov 2017 lists 1,246 vehicles in Ireland
- Repair cost in Ireland
- Free recall repair: Toyota Ireland's Recall Checker page says recall work is carried out free of charge
- What to check before buying
- Apply and release the parking brake several times, check for warning lights, and ask for written proof that the recall work was done (Recall Checker on toyota.ie). Source: CCPC product recall notice, 16 November 2017.
RSA recall: eCall emergency-call module can stop working without warning
Moderate — service-level fix- Symptoms
- RSA wording: because of the software in the Data Communication Module, it may not complete its shutdown after the ignition is turned off, so it does not restart at the next ignition cycle and the eCall emergency-call function becomes unavailable, with no warning to the occupants; the vehicles do not comply with EU regulation 2015/758.
- Years affected
- Vehicles built 9 Oct 2020–4 Aug 2023: the RSA recall of 3 Oct 2023 lists 2,684 vehicles in Ireland across all the models it names, of which the C-HR is one; the RSA gives no figure per model
- Repair cost in Ireland
- Free recall repair: the RSA says Toyota Ireland will write to affected owners to arrange an appointment with an authorised repairer, and Toyota Ireland's Recall Checker page says recall work is carried out free of charge
- What to check before buying
- Check the registration or VIN in Toyota Ireland's Recall Checker and ask for written confirmation that the recall work was done. Source: RSA recalls by manufacturer, 2023.
RSA recall: instrument display can go blank (C-HR named; generation not stated)
Moderate — service-level fix- Symptoms
- RSA wording: improper programming writes excessive data to a memory device in the system that drives the 12.3-inch instrument-panel display, which deteriorates it; the monitor then does not display after ignition on and stays that way permanently, leaving the driver with no speedometer or warning lights, which the RSA says may increase the risk of an accident.
- Years affected
- Vehicles built 29 Jul 2022–6 May 2025: the RSA recall of 24 Jul 2025 lists 19,592 vehicles in Ireland across ten Toyota models including the CHR, with no figure per model. Toyota's press pack for the Mk1 C-HR lists a dual 4.2-inch multi-information display, so this notice may concern the second-generation car rather than the Mk1.
- Repair cost in Ireland
- Free recall repair: the RSA says Toyota Ireland will write to affected owners to arrange an appointment with an authorised repairer, and Toyota Ireland's Recall Checker page says recall work is carried out free of charge
- What to check before buying
- If the car was built in that period, check the registration or VIN in Toyota Ireland's Recall Checker, and make sure the instrument display works on every start during the test drive. Source: RSA recalls by manufacturer, 2025.
12-volt auxiliary battery
Minor — wear-and-tear- Symptoms
- Slow or failed start-up, a car that will not go to READY, or warning lights at start-up. These are general signs of a weak 12-volt battery; Toyota does not publish a fault pattern for this model.
- Years affected
- All Mk1 years: in the What Car? 2024 Reliability Survey (UK owners of 2016–2023 C-HRs; the survey covers cars up to five years old) 12-volt battery problems were the most common complaint among the 15% of owners who reported a fault; the survey does not split results by year
- Repair cost in Ireland
- Costs vary widely by garage — get one quote from a local independent and one from a main dealer before committing. Irish labour runs about €70–€110 an hour independent and €110–€160 at a franchised dealer, VAT included.
- What to check before buying
- Ask when the 12-volt battery was last tested or replaced, and start the car from cold more than once. Toyota Ireland's Hybrid Health Check includes an auxiliary battery charging test, so a dated Health Check record is useful evidence. Get two quotes for any replacement: an independent mechanic is often substantially cheaper than a franchised dealer and frequently just as skilled.
Hybrid battery warranty and Toyota Hybrid Battery Extended Care
Moderate — service-level fix- Symptoms
- Not a fault: this is the cover that decides who pays if the hybrid battery fails. Toyota Ireland's hybrid warranty is 5 years or 100,000 km (whichever comes first) on the hybrid battery, its control unit, the hybrid system central control unit and the inverter and converter. After that, a Hybrid Health Check in the Toyota network earns Hybrid Battery Extended Care for 1 year or 15,000 km, renewable up to the 15th anniversary of first registration.
- Years affected
- All Mk1 years: a car first registered more than five years ago is outside the 5-year hybrid warranty, and one first registered more than three years ago is outside the 3-year or 100,000 km comprehensive warranty (Toyota Ireland)
- Repair cost in Ireland
- Costs vary widely by garage — get one quote from a local independent and one from a main dealer before committing. Irish labour runs about €70–€110 an hour independent and €110–€160 at a franchised dealer, VAT included.
- What to check before buying
- Ask for the most recent Hybrid Health Check confirmation (date and mileage). In Toyota Ireland's Extended Care terms (PDF linked from its hybrid service page, file dated August 2022) a claim can only be considered on presentation of that confirmation; the cover applies only where the factory hybrid warranty has expired or has less than 1 year or 15,000 km left and the car is under 15 years old; it covers the hybrid vehicle battery and excludes, among other things, accident damage and water entry or corrosion; and it can be transferred to a new owner while its limits have not been exceeded. Toyota says the Hybrid Health Check includes a diagnostic test of the hybrid system, a battery health check, a battery insulation test, an auxiliary battery charging test and a cooling system check. On the test drive, listen for unusual noise under firm acceleration and watch for warning lights or a hybrid system message. Sources: Toyota Ireland warranty page, hybrid service page and Extended Care terms, read 14 October 2026.
Windscreen cracks and driver-assist camera
Minor — wear-and-tear- Symptoms
- What Car? says some C-HR owners have complained of cracked windscreens, usually starting at the top edge and spreading down, and that a replacement screen means the safety-system camera has to be reprogrammed at a Toyota dealer. Toyota says its Lane Departure Alert and Automatic High Beam use a camera on the windscreen.
- Years affected
- All Mk1 years (What Car? used-car review, updated 27 May 2025: a UK source that gives no model years)
- Repair cost in Ireland
- Costs vary widely by garage — get one quote from a local independent and one from a main dealer before committing. Irish labour runs about €70–€110 an hour independent and €110–€160 at a franchised dealer, VAT included.
- What to check before buying
- Look along the top edge of the windscreen for cracks and chips, and if the screen has been replaced ask for the invoice and how the camera was set up afterwards. What Car? also advises checking the bumpers for parking damage; confirm the parking sensors and reversing camera work.
Infotainment, smartphone connection and navigation maps
Minor — wear-and-tear- Symptoms
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto came with the 2019 multimedia system introduced for the 2020 model year, and Irish coverage of that update (1 October 2019) described it as finally allowing both, so check that an earlier car's system does what you need. Toyota Europe also said the 2020 car came with a free 3-year subscription to over-the-air navigation map updates.
- Years affected
- Differs before and after the 2020 model-year update (Toyota Europe, 5 Nov 2019; CompleteCar.ie, 1 Oct 2019)
- Repair cost in Ireland
- Costs vary widely by garage — get one quote from a local independent and one from a main dealer before committing. Irish labour runs about €70–€110 an hour independent and €110–€160 at a franchised dealer, VAT included.
- What to check before buying
- Use the touchscreen, Bluetooth, phone connection and navigation for 15 minutes on the test drive. On a 2020-or-later car, ask whether the free 3-year map update subscription Toyota offered at purchase is still active.
Who this car suits — and who should look elsewhere
Buyers wanting a compact crossover SUV with a full-hybrid automatic drive who will check the car's recall record, Hybrid Battery Extended Care paperwork and service history before buying.
Buyers who cannot confirm a car's recall record, hybrid health-check history and service history before paying, and buyers who have not tried the rear seat and boot with their own passengers and luggage: Toyota lists the boot at 377 litres (VDA, rear seats up, to the tonneau cover). Toyota's specification sheet lists a towing capacity of 725 kg, braked and unbraked, so check the car's own data plate before towing.
Frequently asked questions about the Toyota C-HR
What are the most common faults on a used Toyota C-HR in Ireland?+
The RSA recall pages for 2023–2026 and the CCPC notices read for this guide name the Toyota C-HR in seven Irish recalls between 2017 and 2025, including two fire-risk campaigns: an engine wire harness (cars built September 2016–May 2018) and a high-pressure fuel pump (cars built November 2017–February 2022). Check the car's registration or VIN on Toyota Ireland's Recall Checker and ask for proof that any recall work was done. This guide does not rank model years by reliability; it relies only on regulator, manufacturer and published survey sources.
What is the best year to buy a used Toyota C-HR in Ireland?+
No model year stands out in the sources checked: no regulator or Toyota document ranks C-HR years, and the What Car? Reliability Survey (UK owners, cars up to five years old) reports the 2016–2023 generation as a whole, not by year. What the documents do show about the 2020 model-year update (Toyota Europe press release, 5 November 2019; Irish coverage of the Toyota Ireland announcement, 1 October 2019): a 2.0 Hybrid (184 PS) joined the 1.8 Hybrid (122 PS); the 1.8 Hybrid moved to a lithium-ion hybrid battery, in place of the previous nickel-metal hydride pack; Apple CarPlay and Android Auto arrived with the 2019 multimedia system; and Toyota Ireland dropped the 1.2 turbo petrol, so Irish cars from the update are hybrid-only. These are specification changes, not reliability findings. Toyota Safety Sense (pre-collision system with pedestrian recognition, adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert with steering control, automatic high beam and road sign assist) was standard across the range from the Irish launch announcement in September 2016 and at the 2020 update. Toyota Ireland's new-car warranty is 3 years or 100,000 km, and 5 years or 100,000 km on the hybrid battery and hybrid system components, whichever comes first, so a car first registered more than three years ago is outside the comprehensive cover and one first registered more than five years ago is outside the hybrid cover; see the warranty entry below for Hybrid Battery Extended Care.
Which Toyota C-HR years should you avoid?+
We have not found a published source that singles out a model year of the Mk1 2016–2023 Toyota C-HR to avoid, so none is named. Check the VIN for open recalls and the service history of any car before you buy.
How much does a used Toyota C-HR cost in Ireland in 2026?+
Typical asking prices on Autoza.ie: about €17,500–€22,500 for 2017–2021 cars; indicative asking prices on Autoza.ie in October 2026 from a small sample, varying with age, mileage and spec. Prices vary by mileage, county, and trim. Compare at least five listings of the same year and mileage band before negotiating.
What is the motor tax on a Toyota C-HR in Ireland?+
Annual motor tax: Set by the car's CO2 band, not the model name (Department of Transport rates of duty, edition effective 1 January 2021). Cars first registered before 1 January 2021 are taxed on NEDC bands: Toyota Ireland's 2016 launch figures, as reported by CompleteCar.ie, were 88 g/km for the 1.8 Hybrid, Band A2 (81–100 g/km) at €180 a year, and 139 g/km for the 1.2 turbo petrol, Band B2 (131–140 g/km) at €280 a year. Cars first registered from 1 January 2021 are taxed on WLTP bands: Toyota Europe quoted WLTP CO2 of 109 g/km for the 1.8 Hybrid (Band A5, 101–110 g/km, €180) and 118 g/km for the 2.0 Hybrid (Band A6, 111–120 g/km, €190), both as lowest figures, and Toyota's UK press pack lists 110–113 g/km for the 1.8 and 119–120 g/km for the 2.0 by trim, so some 1.8 cars fall in WLTP Band A6 at €190. The 2.0 Hybrid's NEDC figure for cars registered before 2021 was not found in a primary source. Check any car's exact rate at motortax.ie.. Irish motor tax is set by CO2 and by the date the car was FIRST REGISTERED, not by model generation: cars first registered between July 2008 and December 2020 are taxed on the NEDC CO2 table, and cars first registered from 1 January 2021 on the WLTP table. The two tables use the same band letters for different amounts, so the same car can pay a different rate depending on its registration date. An import is keyed to its first registration in its country of origin. Check the CO2 figure on your VRC against the tables on https://autoza.ie/motor-tax-calculator-ireland for the exact rate.
What real-world fuel economy does a Toyota C-HR achieve on Irish roads?+
Fuel economy: Official test figures only (real-world consumption varies with driving style, load and weather). Toyota Ireland's 2016 launch figure for the 1.8 Hybrid, as reported by CompleteCar.ie, was better than 75 mpg (imperial), under about 3.8 l/100 km, on the NEDC test then in use. For the 2020 update Toyota Europe quoted WLTP combined consumption of 5.3 l/100 km for the 2.0 Hybrid; Toyota's UK press pack (January 2023) lists WLTP combined 53.3–57.6 mpg (imperial) for the 1.8 Hybrid, about 4.9–5.3 l/100 km, and 49.6–54.3 mpg for the 2.0 Hybrid, about 5.2–5.7 l/100 km. Both hybrids are automatics (hybrid CVT).. Official WLTP figures are lab figures; real-world consumption varies with driving style, load, weather and how the car is used.
How does a Toyota C-HR compare to its rivals?+
Strong alternatives in Ireland: Toyota RAV4, Nissan Qashqai, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-5, Kia Sportage. Choose based on dealer network in your county, parts availability, and your priorities (running cost vs. cabin quality vs. badge).
Who is the Toyota C-HR most suitable for?+
Buyers wanting a compact crossover SUV with a full-hybrid automatic drive who will check the car's recall record, Hybrid Battery Extended Care paperwork and service history before buying.
Who should NOT buy a Toyota C-HR?+
Buyers who cannot confirm a car's recall record, hybrid health-check history and service history before paying, and buyers who have not tried the rear seat and boot with their own passengers and luggage: Toyota lists the boot at 377 litres (VDA, rear seats up, to the tonneau cover). Toyota's specification sheet lists a towing capacity of 725 kg, braked and unbraked, so check the car's own data plate before towing.
What should I know about the RSA recall: high-pressure fuel pump can crack (fuel leak, fire risk) on the Toyota C-HR?+
RSA recall: high-pressure fuel pump can crack (fuel leak, fire risk): an Irish recall notice, not a general fault pattern. Symptoms: RSA wording: insufficient press fitting of certain parts in the high-pressure fuel pump can put stress on the inlet control valve and crack its weld, which could lead to a fuel leak and a fuel odour; if there is an ignition source, a fuel leak can result in an increased risk of a fire.. Years affected: C-HR built 27 Nov 2017–4 Feb 2022: the RSA recall of 30 Jan 2024 lists 571 vehicles in Ireland across the Auris, C-HR and Corolla; a second RSA notice of 28 Nov 2024 lists 29 vehicles (C-HR built 7 May 2018–4 Feb 2022, and Corolla). The RSA does not say which engine.. Repair cost in Ireland: Free recall repair: the RSA says Toyota Ireland will write to affected owners to arrange an appointment with an authorised repairer, and Toyota Ireland's Recall Checker page says recall work is carried out free of charge What to check before buying: Enter the car's registration or VIN in the Recall Checker on toyota.ie and get written confirmation from a Toyota dealer that any recall work has been done.

What should I know about the CCPC recall: engine wire harness at the hybrid power control unit (fire risk) on the Toyota C-HR?+
CCPC recall: engine wire harness at the hybrid power control unit (fire risk): an Irish recall notice, not a general fault pattern. Symptoms: Notice wording: due to assembly variation a portion of the engine wire harness connected to the hybrid Power Control Unit could contact its cover; if dust has built up, vibration may wear the wire insulation and expose the core wire, causing a short circuit and heat, with an increased risk of a vehicle fire.. Years affected: C-HR built Sept 2016–May 2018: the CCPC notice of 6 Sep 2018 lists 3,030 vehicles in Ireland (it also covered the Prius and Prius PHV).

What should I know about the CCPC recall: brake pedal bracket bolt (C-HR and Corolla) on the Toyota C-HR?+
CCPC recall: brake pedal bracket bolt (C-HR and Corolla): an Irish recall notice, not a general fault pattern. Symptoms: Notice wording: the bolt on the bracket that reinforces the brake pedal mounting may not have been torqued to the design range because of a defective bolt-tightening tool; if it loosens, the pedal could move toward the driver in a crash, and repeated high pedal force could deform and crack the mounting, altering the pedal position and increasing the risk of a crash.. Years affected: C-HR and Corolla built June 2019–March 2020: the CCPC notice of 26 Nov 2020 lists approximately 3,062 affected vehicles in the Republic of Ireland (one figure for both models). Repair cost in Ireland: Free recall repair: Toyota Ireland said it would contact affected owners by post to arrange the work at an authorised repairer, and its Recall Checker page says recall work is carried out free of charge What to check before buying: Check the registration or VIN in Toyota Ireland's Recall Checker and ask for written confirmation that the bracket bolt work was done.

Before you buy or sell a Toyota C-HR
Two quick checks pay for themselves on any used C-HR. First, check the car's NCT history before you buy — a missed or repeat-fail NCT often signals a chronic fault the seller is hoping you'll miss. Second, if you're weighing the C-HR against rival models, you can compare the C-HR against its rivals side-by-side on price, running costs and spec.
