The Ministry of Economy and Commerce (MEC), in collaboration with Almana Motors Company, has announced the recall of Peugeot 2008, 208 and 301 models of 2013-2015 because the fuel pump in the fuel tank may develop a crack over time.

The MEC will co-ordinate with the dealer to follow up on the maintenance and repair works and communicate with customers to ensure that the necessary repairs are carried out.
The MEC has urged all customers to report any violations to its Consumer Protection and Anti-Commercial Fraud Department through the following channels: Hotline: 16001, e-mail: [email protected], Twitter: @MEC_Qatar, Instagram: MEC_Qatar, MEC mobile app for Android and IOS: MEC_Qatar
