The Ministry of Commerce has once again emphasized the necessity for owners of Hyundai Elantra cars, built between 2009 and 2011, to take part in recall efforts concerning a potential defect in the driver's airbag inflator. This issue could potentially lead to serious or fatal injuries. The ministry has specifically called for the 44,305 affected vehicles currently present in Saudi Arabia to cease driving until repairs are conducted at authorized dealerships.
The recall initially announced covered 57,195 vehicles, but only about 12,890 have been fixed, accounting for roughly 22 percent of the total. The remaining 44,305 vehicles have not yet been repaired, highlighting the urgency for owners to contact authorized dealers promptly to resolve the issue. The ministry strongly advises owners to contact authorized dealers, specifically Wallan Company at 8001240401, Almajdouie Company at 8003040777, or Mohamed Yousuf Naghi & Brothers Group at 8001240191, to schedule and receive the free repairs needed for their safety.
