2 faults documented by at least two sources, listed by version then by mileage at onset when known.
2 known faults
The small 12 V auxiliary battery can discharge, especially if the car is driven little; insufficient voltage prevents the hybrid system from starting ("Ready" mode) and can make it look like a transmission fault (Fiches-auto, CarVerif). Owners of 2019 to 2022 C-HRs report batteries found heavily discharged (Toyota Owners Club).
Owners report cracked windscreens, the crack generally starting at the top and running downwards (What Car?, RAC, Honest John). Replacement usually goes through a dealer, because the camera and laser of the driver assistance systems mounted behind the windscreen must be recalibrated.

An OBD scanner plugged in under the steering wheel shows stored fault codes, even with warning lights off: useful during the test drive.
