Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring of Operations | Restructuring of Operations Our restructuring activities primarily include rationalizing our operating footprint by consolidating facilities, positioning operations in lower cost locations and reducing overhead costs. Restructuring expense includes costs associated with current and previously announced actions and is comprised of contractual and noncontractual separation costs and exit costs, including costs associated with lease continuation obligations and certain operating costs of facilities that we are in the process of closing. During 2014, we implemented various cost reduction programs, including the closure of our Commercial Vehicle foundry in Argentina and other headcount reduction programs in our Light Vehicle and Commercial Vehicle businesses in South America and Europe. Total restructuring expense in 2014 associated with these actions and with other previously announced initiatives was $21 and included $15 of severance and related benefits costs and $6 of exit costs. During 2013, we implemented certain headcount reduction programs, primarily in our Light Vehicle and Commercial Vehicle businesses in Argentina and Australia and in our Off-Highway business in Europe. New customer programs and other developments in our North American Light Vehicle business and a decision by our European Off-Highway business to in-source the manufacturing of certain parts resulted in the reversal of previously accrued severance obligations. Excluding $1 of exit costs associated with discontinued operations, restructuring expense in 2013 was $24, net of the aforementioned reversals, and was attributable to the cost of newly implemented and previously announced initiatives. Restructuring expense includes $14 of severance and related benefits costs and $10 of exit costs. During 2012, we implemented certain cost reduction programs, including headcount reduction initiatives at several of our manufacturing operations in all regions, the most significant of which impacted the Light Vehicle and Commercial Vehicle businesses in South America and Europe. Included in these actions was the planned closure of our Light Vehicle manufacturing facility in Austria, which was completed during 2013. Additionally, we exited our Commercial Vehicle facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan in June 2012 and recognized the fair value of the associated lease continuation obligation. Excluding $3 of exit costs associated with discontinued operations, restructuring expense in 2012 to recognize the costs of these actions and those of previously announced initiatives was $47 and included $27 of severance and related benefit costs and $20 of exit costs.
