Honda Motor Company with the support of Colombo Crime Division (CCD) has taken steps to combat the sale of counterfeit Honda spare parts.
Recently, several raids were conducted in Kurunegala, Ratnapura, Homagama and Panchikawatte, which resulted in the arrest of several dealers involved in the distribution of counterfeit Honda spare parts. These dealers were also found to be fraudulently packaging and selling counterfeit parts.
Police investigations are continuing with the aim of disrupting supply chains to stop these illegal activities.
Honda Motor Company Officials said that raids of this nature will continue in the future with the help of the CCD. The raids are primarily driven by customer complaints regarding the sale of counterfeit spare parts.
The use of counterfeit parts not only compromises the integrity of the vehicle but pose safety threats and risks to riders and passengers alike, a company spokesman said.
Honda officials urged all customers to be proactive in the purchase of genuine spare parts. It is essential that customers rely on genuine parts which are purchased from authorised dealers only, as they guarantee the highest levels of safety and performance. It is imperative to note that genuine parts are designed and tested to meet Honda’s high-quality standards to ensure optimal functionality and reliability.
