Automotive company temporarily closed for violating consumer protection law
The action was taken due to the company's failure to provide spare parts and delays in offering after-sales services, which are violations of Article No. (16) of Law No. (8) of 2008 concerning consumer protection and its executive regulations.
This decision was issued under Resolution No. 18/2025, reinforcing MOCI's ongoing efforts to uphold consumer rights and ensure that companies operating in Qatar adhere to the required service standards.
The Ministry urges consumers to report any violations and contact the call center at 16001 for assistance.

MoCI recalls models of Land Rover, Range Rover, Discovery, Porsche and GMC vehicles
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI), in cooperation with Qatar's authorised vehicle dealerships, has announced several vehicle recalls as part of its ongoing efforts to protect consumer rights and ensure public safety. In coordination with Alfardan Premier Motors, the official Land Rover dealership in Qatar, the MoCI has recalled Land Rover Range Rover Sport models (LS) manufactured between 2005 and 2013, Discovery 3 / LR3 models (LA) from 2005 to 2009, and Discovery 4 / LR4 models (LA) from 2010 to 2016. The recall has been initiated due to a potential fault in the self-adjusting tow ball mechanism, which may gradually cease to operate properly if the tow ball is not removed when not in use, contrary to manufacturer guidelines. The MoCI has also announced the recall of Porsche Taycan vehicles manufactured between 2020 and 2024. This action, carried out in cooperation with Porsche Centre Doha – Al Boraq Automobiles Co. W.L.L., follows the detection of a malfunction in the current software of the High-Voltage (HV) battery control unit. The software lacks sufficient efficiency in detecting potential voltage deviations within the battery. This recall has been registered under campaign number ARB6. Additionally, in collaboration with Mannai Trading Company W.L.L., the official GMC dealership in Qatar, the MoCI has recalled the 2022 model of the GMC Sierra. In the affected vehicles, one or more of the attachments securing the front upper grille deflector may fracture over time. If all eight attachment points break, the deflector could detach from the vehicle while in motion, potentially compromising road safety.(TNN)
