The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI), in collaboration with Nasser Bin Khaled and Sons Automobiles, Qatar’s Mercedes dealership, has issued a recall for Mercedes SL Class models of 2022-2023. The recall is due to non-compliance with factory specifications in the routing of the 12 V starter/alternator wiring harness. In this situation, the wire harness may come into contact with the drive shaft and undergo corrosion over time, potentially leading to a short circuit.
The ministry, in collaboration with United Cars Almana, Qatar’s Jeep dealership, has issued a recall for the Jeep Grand Wagoneer model of 2023. The recall is due to concerns that third-row seatbelt buckles may have been built with inaccessible or damaged buckles, potentially leaving the occupant unable to fasten the seatbelt.
The ministry 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 ministry said it would coordinate with the dealer to follow up on the maintenance and repair works and communicate with customers to ensure that the necessary repairs are carried out.
The ministry has urged all customers to report any violations to its Consumer Protection and Anti-Commercial Fraud Department, which processes complaints, inquiries and suggestions.
