Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
CONTINGENCIES | CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints, including matters involving warranty claims, intellectual property claims, governmental investigations and related proceedings, general liability and other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company will ultimately be successful in any of these commercial and legal matters or what the impact might be. The Company does not believe that adverse outcomes in any of these commercial and legal claims, actions and complaints are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. An adverse outcome could, nonetheless, be material to the results of operations or cash flows as the ultimate resolutions of these matters are inherently unpredictable. On September 19, 2024, the Company commenced a lawsuit against PHINIA, seeking to recover from PHINIA approximately $120 million of value added tax (“VAT”) refunds that PHINIA has received or expects to receive from governmental agencies as well as damages and interest, which PHINIA has refused to pay to the Company. These refunds consist of VAT paid by the Company in periods prior to or directly related to the Spin-Off through which the Company established PHINIA as an independent company. Prior to the initiation of the lawsuit, PHINIA had paid certain VAT refund amounts to the Company. The Company asserts PHINIA’s obligation to pay the Company these VAT refunds and related amounts is plainly set forth in a binding tax matters agreement between the Company and PHINIA, which the parties agreed to prior to the Spin-Off. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an asset related to these VAT refunds of approximately $120 million, which is included in Receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Environmental The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at various hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“Superfund”) and equivalent state or local laws and, as such, may be currently or may have been liable for the cost of clean-up and other remedial activities at 17 such sites as of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Responsibility for clean-up and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula. The Company believes that none of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Generally, this is because either the estimates of the maximum potential liability at a site are not material or the liability will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such matter. The Company has an accrual for environmental liabilities of $5 million and $6 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, included in Other current and Other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2024, this accrual, which relates to four of the sites, is based on information available to the Company (which, in most cases, includes an estimate of allocation of liability among PRPs; the probability that other PRPs, many of which are large, solvent public companies, will fully pay the cost apportioned to them; currently available information from PRPs and/or federal or state environmental agencies concerning the scope of contamination and estimated remediation and consulting costs; and remediation alternatives). Clean-up and other remedial activities are complete or nearing completion at the other 13 sites, for which there was no accrual as of December 31, 2024.
