I'm confused. Is the issue that the parts are out of spec or that the auto makers want to up the spec?

Not-working parts are out of spec (kind of by definition).

Not true. Every supplier worth it's salt will provide you with quality details as part of the product spec (and cost and schedules/volume). 100% is rarely the expectation.

It appears you're conflating the parametric/functional spec of a product with the statistical spec of a process in manufacturing said product at volume.
