The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI), in co-operation with Alfardan Automobiles, has announced the recall of MINI Countryman S, Countryman JCW, Aceman, 3-Door SE, and 3-Door S, 2024 models, as signal interference in the electronics of the braking system may cause failure of the brake power assistance system.
The MoCI, in co-operation with Almana Motors Company, announced the recall of Ford Expedition, Explorer, Mustang, Kuga, and Taurus, and Lincoln Aviator, Navigator, and Corsair, 2020-2023 models, as in all the affected vehicles, due to an error in the SYNC software, customers may experience SYNC system instability and/or failure to preserve certain settings across ignition cycles. This may result in a black infotainment screen, incorrect language setting, erased or unsaved radio presets, and potential inability to perform software updates.
The MoCI, in co-operation with Skyline Automotive, also announced the recall of Genesis G70, G90, and G80, 2016-2019 models, as some vehicles might experience a starter damage while parked or driving if operated in abnormally wet conditions, such as a flooded road.
The MoCI said the recall campaign comes within the framework of its ongoing efforts to protect consumers and ensure that car dealers follow up on vehicle defects and repairs.
The MoCI said it will co-ordinate with the dealer to follow up on the maintenance and repair works and will communicate with customers to ensure that the necessary repairs are carried out. The MoCI urged all customers to report any violations to its Consumer Protection and Anti-Commercial Fraud Department, which processes complaints, inquires and suggestions through the following channels: Call Center: 16001, e-mail: [email protected], social media channels @mociqatar, and mobile application MOCIQatar available on iPhone and Android devices.
