J. had come out with  its commitment to conduct a  mandatory call in  campaign for the installation of Brake  Override System on Toyota cars in the Kingdom to include more than 400 thousand cars of ten types. 
 
The agreement with the said company had mentioned as well that A.L.J. Co. will conduct a progressive awareness campaign until the completion of Brake Override System installation on all cars for the notification of car users in the kingdom about the safest  ways to deal with cases of launching cars at high speeds without the ability of the driver to stop  or control it. So that Saudi Arabia is the second country to take such measures after the United States of America, while Canada is still considering taking similar measures.
 
MCI has emphasized again that each car manufacturer taking similar  international  action to be  applied  in the Kingdom as well, and it will take all necessary measures  to ensure that the Saudi consumer is getting his rights.
