Oddly, the bolt is listed as a Torx while a hex is shown in the parts image:

The TIS shows them as requiring replacement, but not a stretch bolt due to no angular specification in the tightening torque, so the replacement may be a precaution due to thread locker or other reasons, but shouldn’t be due to the elongation of the bolt making it unsuitable for reuse:

M12x1.5 at 110Nm for a 10.9 or 12.9 bolt is below it’s plastic range, so strain in the bolt shouldn’t be an issue for reuse. The picture in realoem showing a hex bolt may just be a generic image, the descriptions are usually more accurate.
