I can't see it happening....it's a massive area for one thing and apart from the Army patrolling down the East side inbetween Erg Chebbi and the Algerian border, there isn't anyone in authority around to enforce such a ban.
It'd also upset the local economy as well...most if not all of the hotels from Rissani southwards offer some form of quad or 4x4 excursion and they'd be up in arms if it was stopped.
TBH I've never seen a problem with vehicles on the dunes there...unless you've got some extreme machinery and/or are very very good, they're too much to ride/drive over anyway.
It's the traditional pistes and classic routes I'd be more worried about.
