Toyota has initiated a recall of 8,521 C‑HR electric SUVs in North America, according to Electrek and theevreport.com. The trigger for the action is described as a sudden loss of drive power, which some outlets attribute to overcharged battery packs.

Driving.ca frames the issue as “sudden power loss,” while Car and Driver links it to batteries that become overcharged and consequently cut power to the drivetrain. It is also unclear whether earlier C‑HR EV model years are affected or if the issue is limited to the latest batch.
