Toyota Australia is recalling more than 30,000 examples of its C-HR model due to a non-compliant label.

The issue affects 30,341 NGX10 and NGX50 generation cars built between 2016 and 2020 including; the GXL 2WD, GXL AWD, Koba 2WD, Koba AWD, STD 2WD and STD AWD variants.

To meet the requirements of European towbar regulation ECE 55-01, it is necessary to apply an ECE label when fitted to a vehicle.

This label was not affixed to the towbar on the aforementioned vehicles and therefore they are not compliant with Australian Design Rule (ADR 62/02).

Toyota will contact affected owners in writing, requesting they make an appointment at their preferred dealer to apply the compliance label, free of charge.

Alternatively, owners may contact Toyota on 1800 987 366.

A list of VINs is available here.

The notice comes at the same time that Lexus, also owned by the Toyota Motor Corporation, is recalling 11,500 of its RX and UX models over an identical error.
