The Component ID numbers are for theft prevention purposes. If your car is stolen, the numbers from the car (obtained by law enforcement) go into a data base. If any of the parts from your car show up in salvage yard inventories or used parts sellers inventories, they can possibly be traced to the thief. They are also used to denote at what time and what version of a certain model is manufactured.
