In this case it would seem that the stewards allowed some leniency due to the circumstances.
However the stewards do not have any jurisdiction over the parts supplier. One would expect that in the normal course of events the competitor would be claiming the costs back from the parts supplier themselves.
When you buy a car from a manufacturer, you believe the car is legal and acording the homologation.

Otherwise, when you buy a new car, you must completely dismantle the car and rebuild it to check every component to see if it is according the homologation. When a driver buy a part to a manufacturer, is implicit that the part is according the homologation.

Here FIA must investigate the Peugeot Sport's behaviour.

The only exception is if tha part was not bought from Peugeot or was changed by the team / driver.

It's stupid and impossible to expect that every team check every component sold by the manufacturer. Is obligatoin of the manufacturer assure that what is selling comply the regulations.
