The Ministry of Economy and Commerce announced yesterday the recall of Dodge Durango, RAM 2004-2010 models over potential rupture of driver airbag inflator amid high humidity levels
The recall is in collaboration with United Cars Al Mana, dealer of Dodge vehicles in Qatar. The driver airbag inflator housing may rupture due to excessive internal pressure, during normal airbag deployment events, it is found out. This is likely to occur if the vehicle has been exposed to high levels of absolute humidity for extended periods of time.
The Ministry said the recall campaign comes within the framework of its ongoing efforts to protect consumers and ensure that car dealers follow up on vehicles' defects and repair them.
The Ministry said that it will coordinate with the dealer to follow up on the maintenance and repair works and will communicate with customers to ensure that the necessary repairs are carried out.
The Ministry urges all customers to report any violations to its Consumer Protection and Anti-Commercial Fraud Department.
