As stated in Directive E-108:

"Automotive parts produced for the Company from tooling which is refurbished, modified, transferred or newly created for parts released on or after August 1, 2002, must comply with this Directive in accordance with established engineering change procedures. This requirement applies whether tooling for a part is owned by suppliers or by the Company. It also applies to parts made from new tooling added to increase capacity and to parts being sourced to a new supplier."
