CFAO, a distributor of Toyota vehicles and spare parts in Uganda has urged vehicle owners to be vigilant about the risks of counterfeit products. It also emphasized the importance of choosing genuine parts for optimal performance, safety, and long-term value.

It said early this week that the company said, a vehicle is more than just a means of transport today but is also an asset to the user who wants it to work for them over a long period of time, with less downtime, minimal cost of ownership as well as decent resale value.

CFAO said the dangers of counterfeit parts may appear attractive at first glance due to their lower price tag, but they pose serious risks to the safety and reliability of vehicles.

“These imitation components are typically produced without adherence to strict quality standards, leaving them susceptible to premature failure and compromising your vehicle’s overall performance. Moreover, counterfeit parts may not fit as precisely as genuine ones, leading to potential mechanical issues that could result in accidents or costly repairs,” reads part of the statement.
