Commerce Ministry Recalls Over 16,000 GMC, Chevrolet and Cadillac Vehicles
The Ministry of Commerce announced the recall of over 16,000 GMC, Chevrolet and Cadillac model vehicles due to their defective brake warning light. The brake service warning light turns on when driver hits the pedal, and it could be due to hydraulic loss on one side of the vehicle or low brake fluid in the master cylinder.
The recalled vehicles included 6,896 GMC vehicles of the following models: Yukon, Yukon XL, and Sierra LD, 2023-2024 models. There are also 8,527 Chevrolet vehicles of the following models among the recalled ones: Tahoe, Suburban, and Silverado LD 2023-2024 models. A total of 579 Cadillac vehicles in the following models were also recalled: Escalade and Escalade ESV 2023-2024 models.
The ministry stated that there is a possibility that the brake warning light may not work properly when the oil is low or leaking below the required level without the driver's knowledge. It pointed out that this may reduce brake performance and increase the risk of an accident.
The Ministry called on users of the vehicles included in the recall list to contact the local agents of the respective vehicles, including General Motors Company on the toll-free number (8008200048), Aljomaih Automotive Company on the toll-free number (8007525252), and the Global Agencies Company on the toll-free number (8002442244) to perform the necessary updates of brake warning light, free of charge.
The ministry also noted that the vehicle chassis number to be included in the recall campaign can be verified through the Defective Products Recall Center website (Recalls.sa).

Ben Sulayem Returns, FIA Presidency Bid
TDT | Manama Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the FIA's outspoken president, has confirmed he'll run for a second four-year term in December's election. Speaking at the Monaco Grand Prix, the 63-year-old Emirati said he's determined to keep growing the sport and bolstering the FIA's influence, even as his first term has stirred plenty of debate. A Mission to Grow Motorsport Ben Sulayem, a former rally driver, insists his work at the FIA is far from done. 'Three years in a complex federation like the FIA is not enough,' he said, reflecting on his tenure since succeeding Jean Todt in 2021. He's proud of turning around the FIA's finances—a €4.7 million profit last year compared to a €24 million loss in 2021—and securing Cadillac as Formula One's 11th team for 2026. But he's not resting on his laurels, vowing to make the FIA 'stronger and stronger.' Controversies and Critics It hasn't been a smooth ride. Ben Sulayem's term has seen clashes with Formula One's commercial rights holder, Liberty Media, over deals he calls 'raw' for the FIA, which owns the championship. His crackdown on driver swearing, with hefty fines, has riled stars in F1 and rallying. Staff departures, including senior figures like Shaila-Ann Rao, sparked talk of an exodus, though Rao's return as an advisor has steadied the ship. Critics also point to statute changes that could curb the FIA's audit and ethics committees, raising questions about transparency. Open to a Challenge With no confirmed rival yet, Ben Sulayem welcomed the prospect of competition, including from twice world rally champion Carlos Sainz, father of the Ferrari F1 driver. 'Let him stand. That is democracy,' he said, brushing off concerns about potential conflicts of interest. The Emirati remains unfazed by detractors, claiming he's 'cleaned up the FIA house' and shrugging off negativity. 'I am the last one who cares what they say,' he added, focused on the FIA's 147 member organizations. Concorde Talks and Future Plans As a new Concorde Agreement between F1 stakeholders nears, Ben Sulayem says negotiations with Liberty Media are on track. His goal is clear: elevate the FIA's clout while expanding motorsport's reach. With the Bahrain Grand Prix a key fixture on the F1 calendar, his regional ties add a layer of influence, but it's his broader vision that will define his campaign. Key Takeaways Ben Sulayem seeks re-election to bolster FIA and motorsport Financial Recovery: FIA's €4.7m profit in 2024 reverses 2021's €24m loss He invites challengers like Sainz, supporting open competition You Know What? Ben Sulayem, the first non-European FIA president, has overseen the addition of Cadillac as F1's 11th team, a move initially resisted by the sport but backed by the FIA's 147 member organizations.
