Toyota is recalling its small C-HR SUV due to the potential of a fuel leak.

“The internal components of the fuel pump may wear and fracture the welded area of the fuel pump, which could lead to a fuel leak in the engine compartment,” the company says in its recall notice.

“If this was to occur, vehicle occupants may identify a fuel odour when driving.

“A fuel leak in the engine compartment may result in an engine bay fire. A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users or bystanders.”

• A total of 7671 vehicles are affected
• Vehicles were available for sale from December 2, 2019 to May 26, 2021

Toyota is contacting owners of all affected vehicles.

If you own an affected vehicle, you’ll need to make an appointment at a Toyota dealer for a free inspection and repair.
