Business risks

What's at stake for automotive leaders.

Safety incidents

Fake brake, steering and airbag parts cause fatal failures and OEM liability.

Warranty fraud

Counterfeit parts trigger claims OEMs are forced to honour.

Aftermarket cannibalisation

Fakes take 20–40% share in high-turn aftermarket SKUs.

Recall complexity

Without unit-level identity, recalls become blanket and costly.

How One Trust solves it

Component identity that survives the workshop floor.

Every part gets a durable NBR mark bound to its serial and warranty. Workshops scan to verify authenticity and log installation; consumers scan for genuine-part proof and extended warranty registration.

Durable NBR marks

Laser-etch, direct-part-mark and label variants.

Workshop scan flows

Install, deinstall and warranty scans by authorised technicians.

Warranty binding

Warranty attaches to the part, not the invoice — kills claim fraud.

Grey-market detection

Detect parts sold outside authorised territories.

EV battery passports

Lifecycle traceability from cell to recycling for battery regulations.

OEM & tier-1 BI

Real-time scan analytics per plant, distributor and workshop.

Workflow
