CFAO Scoops Top Award for Vehicle Safety Initiative

CFAO Mobility Kenya has won the Automotive Workshop and Garage Award at the 2026 AA Kenya Road Safety Excellence Awards for its efforts to improve vehicle safety through the Toyota Airbag Recall Campaign.

The recognition highlights the company’s work in identifying and addressing airbag safety concerns in selected Toyota models manufactured between 2001 and 2017. The affected models include the Toyota Hilux, Fortuner, RAV4, Corolla and Avensis. Through the campaign, CFAO Mobility Kenya is encouraging vehicle owners to check whether their cars are affected by the recall and arrange the necessary inspections and corrective repairs at no cost, where applicable.

The AA Kenya Road Safety Excellence Awards recognise garages, vehicle dealerships and service providers that demonstrate high standards in vehicle safety, quality repairs, technician skills, customer education and innovation. The annual awards also celebrate organisations and individuals making contributions towards safer roads through road safety awareness, education, sustainable mobility, traffic enforcement and responsible road use.

“Road safety is central to our responsibility as a mobility partner. This award recognises the work our teams do to help customers identify and address vehicle safety concerns. Through the Airbag Recall Safety Campaign, we encourage owners of affected vehicles to take a proactive approach to their own safety and that of their passengers and visit any of our branches or dealers countrywide,” said Joshua Anya, Deputy Managing Director of CFAO Mobility Kenya.

CFAO Mobility Kenya said the award reflects its commitment to improving road safety through reliable after-sales services and encouraging motorists to respond to vehicle safety recalls. The company is urging owners of Toyota vehicles manufactured between 2001 and 2017 to verify their vehicles’ recall status to establish whether they require corrective action.

Eligible motorists can visit their nearest CFAO Toyota dealership, where they can confirm whether their vehicles are affected and arrange a free inspection and airbag replacement if necessary. The recall campaign forms part of the company’s wider efforts to promote responsible vehicle ownership and ensure motorists take safety notices seriously.

The award further strengthens CFAO Mobility Kenya’s position in automotive servicing while highlighting the importance of regular vehicle inspections and timely repairs in preventing safety risks on Kenyan roads. The company maintains that addressing vehicle defects and ensuring that recalled cars receive the required attention are important steps towards protecting drivers, passengers and other road users.
