The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI), in cooperation with Al Abdulghani Motors, Qatar's official Toyota dealership, has announced a recall of the 2019 Toyota Camry HEV due to the possibility of a fuel pump malfunction, which may cause the vehicle to stop functioning.
The MoCI, in cooperation with Skyline Automotive, Qatar's Genesis dealership, has also announced the recall of Genesis GV80, GV70, and G80, 2023-2024 models, as some vehicles may encounter issues with the cluster failing to boot up.
In addition, the Ministry, in cooperation with Nasser Bin Khaled and Sons Automobiles, the official Mercedes-Benz dealership in Qatar, has recalled the 2023–2024 models of the Mercedes S-Class, GLC, SL-Class, and GT. The recall is due to a potential issue in the high-voltage starter alternator's control unit in hybrid-drive vehicles, where the processor may suffer from sporadic overload. This could lead to function deactivation and result in an unexpected loss of propulsive power.(TNN)
