In North America there are strick rules about using refurbished parts on new aircraft. To a certain point it relates to a law suit a few years back where a computer manufacturer was prosecuted for using previously installed power supplies in new computers.

If a manufacturer elects to install used parts (obviously not time or cycle limited parts) he has to advise the customer and get his approval.
