The authority urged drivers to show their cars for inspection, where corrective action will be taken in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, free of cost.
Car owners have been urged to contact Ali Mohammad Thunayan Alghanim & Sons Automotive Co. on the hotline number 1846464 and to book in advance.

Earlier today, Saudi Arabia recalled 96 vehicles of the 2025 Audi Q5 after a safety issue was identified in the vehicle's front seatbelt pretensioner.
The defect could cause the pretensioner to loosen after it has been activated, potentially reducing the effectiveness of the seatbelt system and increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
Meanwhile, earlier this year, UAE residents were affected by German automotive giant BMW’s global recall over a potential fire risk linked to the engine starter.
