Illustrative Counterfeit-Risk Distribution by Part Type

Risk Area	Why It Matters	Verification Touchpoint
Counterfeit brake components	Failure under load creates direct road-safety risk	Garage scan before installation
Cloned filters & fluid parts	Substandard materials can cause engine damage over time	Service-center scan at intake
Gray-market electronics & sensors	Common secondary-market category with weak oversight	Dealer bulk-verification on shipment arrival
Warranty fraud on installed parts	Counterfeit parts billed as genuine drive direct cost	Warranty-record scan at claim submission
Cloned serial ranges	Enables resale of counterfeit stock as authentic	Serial-range anomaly detection on scan

Why It Matters

The Stakes for Automotive & Spare Parts

Counterfeit automotive parts can fail under load, creating direct road-safety risk.

Warranty fraud rises sharply when counterfeit parts are installed and billed as genuine.

Dealership and fleet buyers need procurement-grade verification, not just a consumer scan.

Spare-parts counterfeiting is common in categories with long vehicle lifecycles and aftermarket demand.
