In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure.

June 8, 2023 Page 2 Exhibit 3 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position Results of Operations, page 5 2.In future filings, please discuss in greater detail the business reasons for the changes between periods in your sales and expense line items. In addition, enhance your disclosure to also discuss the business reasons for the changes between periods in the significant line items of each of your segments. In doing so, disclose the amount of each significant change in line items between periods and the business reasons for it. In circumstances where there is more than one business reason for the change, quantify the incremental impact of each individual business reason discussed on the overall change in the line item. For example, your disclosure on page 5 indicates that sales increased primarily due to (i) the launch of new programs during or subsequent to 2021, (ii) higher global light vehicle production and (iii) customer price increases to recover certain higher production input costs, but it is unclear how significantly each of these factors impacted your sales. Please refer to Item 303(a)(3) of Regulation S-K for further information. 3.You state that you continue to experience elevated inflation in all markets in which you operate, with higher commodity, energy, labour, freight and other production input pricing expected to persist throughout 2023 and 2024. In future filings, please expand to identify the principal factors contributing to the inflationary pressures the company has experienced and clarify the resulting impact to the company. 4.Please further discuss in future filings whether supply chain disruptions materially affect your outlook or business goals. Specify whether these challenges have materially impacted your results of operations or capital resources and quantify, to the extent possible, how your sales, profits, and/or liquidity have been impacted. 5.We note that you have experienced labour and other operational inefficiencies at your facilities as a result of your production lines being stopped/started largely due to supply constraints. Please revise your disclosure in future filings to discuss known trends or uncertainties resulting from mitigation efforts undertaken, if any. Explain whether any mitigation efforts introduce new material risks, including those related to product quality, reliability, or regulatory approval of products.
