Work on a 2021 Toyota C-HR starts with what Toyota actually built that year: the 2.0L four-cylinder (3ZR-FAE), and the trim your car left the line in. The clearances, torque figures and service sequences you work to are the ones Toyota published for the 2021 model year, not values carried over from an adjacent one.

Known issues on the 2021 C-HR. One recall stands on federal record for this model year, and it is against the forward collision avoidance sensing system radar. Toyota is recalling certain 2021 C-HR vehicles on which the radar sensor may not have been activated during production, making the pre-collision system (PCS) inoperative; an inoperative PCS does not provide a malfunction indicator to the driver, or braking assist. Owners have filed 42 complaints against the 2021 C-HR, and 106 technical service bulletins have been issued for it.
Whether you are verifying that the radar sensor is actually live after front-end work, tracing a fault covered by one of those bulletins, or meeting a scheduled service interval, this manual holds you to Toyota's own procedure and the right specification for your 2021 C-HR.
