Toyota has issued a recall for 8,521 electric C-HR SUVs. The action follows the discovery of a software glitch that can cause the vehicle to suddenly lose power while driving, according to the company's announcement covered by Electrek.
The recall affects only the electric version of the C-HR, and the number is relatively small compared with Toyota's broader sales volumes. The source does not specify whether any crashes or injuries have occurred, nor does it detail the exact software update or repair procedure.
Because there is only one source, there are no differing accounts to compare. The key fact is the recall itself: a safety-related software defect that interrupts drive power, prompting Toyota to call back these vehicles.
