Toyota is recalling around 10,000 2026 C-HR EVs globally over a software bug that can suddenly cut power to the wheels.
About 1,310 Canadian vehicles are affected with dealers offering a free software update to fix the issue.
The power loss can occur at high battery charge levels when regenerative braking causes the battery to overcharge.
Toyota is recalling about 10,000 2026 C-HR EVs globally after finding that some can suddenly cut power to the wheels mid-drive. The company points to a software bug in the regenerative braking system, not a fault in the battery cells or motors.
Roughly 1,310 of those C-HR EVs are in Canada, according to Toyota Canada. Owners will get notification letters by early November, and dealers can already run the fix for anyone who books a visit sooner.
