The Consumer Protection Authority, in cooperation with Reliable International LLC (Saud Bahwan Group), has launched a recall campaign for (17) vehicles of the Kia Carnival (KA4), Kia Sorento (MQ4), and Kia Tasman (TK) models, manufactured during the period from July to September 2025, effective from 26 April 2026, as part of its continued efforts to enhance road safety and protect consumers.
This recall is due to an electrical fault in the instrument cluster, which may cause it to temporarily stop functioning while driving, preventing the display of essential information such as the speedometer, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) indicator, and other critical indicators. Accordingly, the affected vehicles will be checked according to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) list, and the instrument cluster software will be updated in accordance with the recommendations of Kia Corporation. The Authority confirms that all affected vehicles will be inspected and repaired free of charge, without any cost to the owners.
The Consumer Protection Authority emphasizes that such recalls reflect its ongoing commitment to reviewing products offered in the Omani market and ensuring their compliance with safety standards, thereby strengthening consumer confidence and supporting the objectives of Oman Vision 2040 in building a safe market that provides protection for society.
