Iran Khodro Announces Major National Safety Initiative for Vehicle Owners
In a significant move underscoring its commitment to consumer welfare and national industrial standards, Iran Khodro, a leading pillar of the country’s automotive industry, has launched a comprehensive, free-of-charge safety upgrade initiative. This proactive program aims to enhance passenger safety for millions of vehicles across the nation.
Proactive Measures for Enhanced Safety
The initiative specifically targets vehicles from the Peugeot 206, 207, and Rana families produced over the last 24 years. The core of the campaign involves replacing the protective component of the heating system with a newly designed, more resilient part. This upgrade is designed to preemptively address potential issues and ensure the long-term reliability of the vehicles.
While technical reviews confirmed that the number of incidents related to the heating system protector was limited—often in high-mileage vehicles or those with non-standard repairs—Iran Khodro has chosen to implement this wide-scale, preventative measure. The company has affirmed that all costs for both the part and its installation will be fully covered, reflecting a deep sense of corporate responsibility.
A Logistically Sound, Phased Rollout
To ensure a smooth and efficient process for all citizens, the program will be executed in a carefully planned, phased manner. The initial phase prioritizes vehicles manufactured between 2001 and 2011. Subsequent phases will be announced officially through the Iran Khodro website and via SMS notifications, keeping the public fully informed.
Owners of the affected vehicles can easily check their eligibility and scheduled appointment time by visiting the official Iran Khodro website or contacting the dedicated hotline at 096440.
A Commitment to Quality and Innovation
This safety campaign is a clear component of Iran Khodro’s broader strategy for qualitative transformation and elevating safety standards across its product line. The company has also announced that the heating system design has been revised in its new products, integrating lessons learned to prevent similar scenarios in the future. This forward-looking approach highlights the dynamic and evolving nature of Iran’s industrial capabilities, dedicated to serving the people with ever-improving quality and safety.
