Over 14,000 Land Rovers Recalled in Saudi Arabia Due to Airbag Defect

By TrendingWire Newsroom

The Ministry of Commerce in Saudi Arabia has announced a recall of 14,470 Land Rover vehicles due to a defect in the driver's airbag connector. The problem could prevent the airbag from deploying during a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the driver. The recall covers certain models of Range Rover, Defender, and Discovery vehicles from the 2020 to 2026 model years. The ministry urged owners to check if their vehicle is affected by entering their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the website Recalls.sa. Those with recalled vehicles should contact Mohamed Yousuf Naghi Motors Co. to schedule free repairs. The repair will fix the airbag connector issue at no cost to the owner. Vehicle recalls are common when safety defects are discovered. In this case, the problem was identified by the manufacturer, and the ministry is working to ensure all affected vehicles are fixed. Land Rover is a British automaker known for its luxury SUVs, and many of its vehicles are sold worldwide. Owners who have questions can reach out to the dealer or the ministry for more information. The recall aims to prevent accidents and keep drivers safe on the road.
