Earnings per Share

Earnings per Share	3 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2015
Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per share	Earnings per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. The diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation includes the impact of dilutive common stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance share unit awards, and convertible securities, if applicable. A reconciliation of basic average common shares outstanding to diluted average common shares outstanding is as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended 2015 2014 Basic average common shares outstanding 92.5 97.9 Impact of restricted shares, restricted share units and performance share units 1.8 2.3 Impact of stock options — 0.1 Impact of convertible notes — 0.9 Diluted average common shares outstanding 94.3 101.2 In November 2015, the Board of Directors approved a grant of performance share units to all executives eligible to participate in the long-term incentive plan. Each performance share unit represents the right to receive one share of common stock or its cash equivalent upon achievement of certain performance and time vesting criteria. The fair value of each performance share unit is $10.51 , which was the company’s share price on the grant date of December 1, 2015. The Board of Directors also approved a grant of 0.5 million restricted share units to these executives. The restricted share units vest at the earlier of three years from the date of grant or upon termination of employment with the company under certain circumstances. The fair value of each restricted share unit is $10.51 , which was the company's share price on the grant date of December 1, 2015. The actual number of performance share units that will vest depends upon the company’s performance relative to the established performance metrics for the three -year performance period of October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2018, measured at the end of the performance period. The number of performance share units will depend on Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations at the following weights: 50% associated with achieving an Adjusted EBITDA margin target and 50% associated with achieving an Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations target. The number of performance share units that vest will be between 0% and 200% of the grant date amount of 0.7 million performance share units. In November 2014, the Board of Directors approved a grant of performance share units to all executives eligible to participate in the long-term incentive plan. Each performance share unit represents the right to receive one share of common stock or its cash equivalent upon achievement of certain performance and time vesting criteria. The fair value of each performance share unit is $13.74 , which was the company’s share price on the grant date of December 1, 2014. The Board of Directors also approved a grant of 0.4 million restricted share units to these executives. The restricted share units vest at the earlier of three years from the date of grant or upon termination of employment with the company under certain circumstances. The fair value of each restricted share unit is $13.74 , which was the company’s share price on the grant date of December 1, 2014. The actual number of performance share units that will vest depends upon the company’s performance relative to the established performance metrics for the three -year performance period of October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2017, measured at the end of the performance period. The number of performance share units will depend on Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations at the following weights: 75% associated with achieving an Adjusted EBITDA margin target and 25% associated with achieving an Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations target. The number of performance share units that vest will be between 0% and 200% of the grant date amount of 0.6 million performance share units. In November 2013, the Board of Directors approved a grant of performance share units to all executives eligible to participate in the long-term incentive plan. Each performance share unit represents the right to receive one share of common stock or its cash equivalent upon achievement of certain performance and time vesting criteria. The fair value of each performance share unit is $7.97 , which was the company’s share price on the grant date of December 1, 2013. The actual number of performance share units that will vest depends upon the company’s performance relative to the established M2016 goals for the three -year performance period of October 1, 2013 to September 30, 2016, measured at the end of the performance period. The number of performance share units will depend on meeting the established M2016 goals at the following weights: 50% associated with achieving an Adjusted EBITDA margin target, 25% associated with achieving a net debt including retirement benefit liabilities target, and 25% associated with achieving an incremental booked revenue target. The number of performance share units that vest will be between 0% and 200% of the grant date amount of 1.8 million performance share units including incremental share units that were issued subsequent to the December 1, 2013 grant date. There were 0.9 million and 0.6 million shares related to these performance share units included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively, as certain payout thresholds were achieved in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 relative to the Adjusted EBITDA, net debt reduction and incremental booked revenue targets. For the three months ended December 31, 2015 , the dilutive impact of previously issued restricted shares, restricted share units, and performance share units was 1.8 million , compared to 2.3 million share units for the same period in the prior fiscal year. For the three months ended December 31, 2015 , compensation cost related to restricted shares, restricted share units, performance share units and stock options was $3 million , compared to $2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 . For each of the three month period ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , options to purchase 0.3 million shares of common stock were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise price exceeded the average market price for the periods and thus their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended December 31, 2015 the company’s convertible senior unsecured notes were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the company’s average stock price during this period was less than conversion price for the notes. For the three months ended December 31, 2014 , 0.9 million shares were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the average stock price during this period exceeded the conversion price for the 7.875 percent convertible notes due 2026.

New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards Accounting standards to be implemented In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from adoption of this guidance. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, as part of its Simplification Initiative, which updates Income Taxes (Topic 740) guidance to eliminate the requirement for an entity to separate deferred tax liabilities and tax assets between current and noncurrent amounts in a classified balance sheet. Deferred taxes will be presented as noncurrent under the new standard. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The company is assessing the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires entities that measure inventory using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The standard is required to be adopted by public business entities in annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The company is assessing the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), which provides guidance about management's responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt relating to an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures as applicable. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from adoption of this guidance. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period. This guidance requires that an award with a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, such as when an employee retires, but may still vest if and when the performance target is achieved, be treated as an award with performance conditions that affect vesting and the company apply existing guidance under ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The company is assessing the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires companies to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control rather than when companies have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of a good or service and requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. ASU 2014-09 was originally effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016 and interim periods therein. In August 2015, the FASB issued a deferral of ASU 2014-09 of one year making it effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017 while also providing for early adoption but not before the original effective date. The company plans to implement this standard in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018 and is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. Accounting standards implemented during fiscal year 2016 In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which updates Business Combination (Topic 805) guidance to eliminate the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. The guidance should be applied prospectively to measurement period adjustments that occur after the effective date. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The company adopted this standard in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2016. This guidance did not have a material impact on the company's consolidated financial statements. In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This guidance changes the definition of a discontinued operation to include only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The guidance also requires new disclosure of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning beginning after December 15, 2014, and is to be applied prospectively. The company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The impact of this new guidance on the company's consolidated financial statements is dependent upon future business divestitures. Previous divestitures and amounts currently included in discontinued operations were not impacted.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill	Goodwill In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350-20, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other”, goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year or more frequently if certain indicators arise. If business conditions or other factors cause the operating results and cash flows of a reporting unit to decline, the company may be required to record impairment charges for goodwill at that time. The company tests goodwill for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit, which is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. When two or more components of an operating segment have similar economic characteristics, the components are aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit. An operating segment is deemed to be a reporting unit if all of its components are similar, if none of its components are a reporting unit, or if the segment comprises only a single component. A summary of the changes in the carrying value of goodwill by the company’s two reportable segments are presented below (in millions): Commercial Truck & Industrial Aftermarket & Trailer Total Beginning balance at September 30, 2015 $ 239 $ 163 $ 402 Foreign currency translation (2 ) (1 ) (3 ) Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 237 $ 162 $ 399

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring Costs	Restructuring Costs During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, the company recorded severance charges of $3 million associated with the elimination of approximately 50 hourly and 20 salaried positions in the Commercial Truck & Industrial segment in connection with the consolidation of certain gearing and machining operations in North America. Restructuring actions associated with this program were substantially complete as of September 30, 2015. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, $9 million and $10 million , respectively, of restructuring reserves, primarily related to unpaid employee termination benefits attributable to the company's Commercial Truck & Industrial segment, remain in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The changes in restructuring reserves for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows (in millions): Employee Termination Benefits Beginning balance at September 30, 2015 $ 10 Activity during the period: Charges to continuing operations 1 Cash payments – continuing operations (2 ) Total restructuring reserves at December 31, 2015 9 Less: non-current restructuring reserves (2 ) Restructuring reserves – current, at December 31, 2015 $ 7 Balance at September 30, 2014 $ 11 Activity during the period: Charges to continuing operations 3 Cash payments – continuing operations (1 ) Other (1 ) Total restructuring reserves at December 31, 2014 12 Less: non-current restructuring reserves (2 ) Restructuring reserves – current, at December 31, 2014 $ 10

Income Taxes

Income Taxes	3 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes For each interim reporting period, the company makes an estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 740-270, “Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods.” The rate so determined is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year or an actual year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of including these jurisdictions on the quarterly effective rate calculation could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections. Income tax expense (benefit) is allocated between continuing operations, discontinued operations and other comprehensive income ("OCI"). Such allocation is applied by tax jurisdiction, and in periods in which there is a pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in another category, such as discontinued operations or OCI, income tax expense is allocated to the other sources of income, with a related benefit recorded in continuing operations. In prior years, the company established valuation allowances against its U.S. net deferred tax assets and the net deferred tax assets of its 100-percent-owned subsidiaries in France, U.K. and certain other countries. In evaluating its ability to recover these net deferred tax assets, the company utilizes a consistent approach which considers its historical operating results, including an assessment of the degree to which any gains or losses are driven by items that are unusual in nature, and tax planning strategies. In addition, the company reviews changes in near-term market conditions and other factors that impact future operating results. Continued improvement in the company’s operating results could lead to reversal of some or all of these valuation allowances in the future. However, the company continues to maintain the valuation allowances in these jurisdictions, as the company believes the negative evidence that it will be able to recover these net deferred tax assets continues to outweigh the positive evidence. Although the company was profitable in the U.S. in 2014 and 2015, it has not generated enough positive evidence to warrant a reversal of the U.S. valuation allowance, so it continues to record a full valuation allowance against the U.S. net deferred tax assets. The weight of negative evidence related to cumulative losses continues to decrease, however, the company believes that the objectively-measured negative evidence outweighs the subjectively-determined positive evidence. For the three months ended December 31, 2015, the company had approximately $11 million of net pre-tax income compared to $12 million of net pre-tax income in the same period in fiscal year 2015 in tax jurisdictions in which tax expense is not recorded. Income arising from these jurisdictions resulted in an adjustment to the valuation allowance, rather than an adjustment to income tax expense.

Accounts Receivable Factoring and Securitization	Accounts Receivable Factoring and Securitization Off-balance sheet arrangements Swedish Factoring Facility: The company has an arrangement to sell trade receivables due from AB Volvo through one of its European subsidiaries. Under this arrangement, which terminates on June 28, 2016, the company can sell up to, at any point in time, €150 million ( $164 million ) of eligible trade receivables. The receivables under this program are sold at face value and are excluded from the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The company had utilized €150 million ( $164 million ) and €108 million ( $121 million ) of this accounts receivable factoring facility as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , respectively. U.S. Factoring Facility: The company has an arrangement to sell trade receivables from AB Volvo and its U.S. subsidiaries through one of its U.S. subsidiaries. Under this arrangement, which terminates on February 28, 2016, the company can sell up to, at any point in time, €65 million ( $71 million ) of eligible trade receivables. The company is working to extend this arrangement before its current maturity date. In December 2014, the company amended this agreement to allow for the sale of trade receivables to exceed Nordea Bank’s commitment at Nordea Bank’s discretion. The receivables under this program are sold at face value and are excluded from the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The company had utilized €81 million ( $89 million ) and €74 million ( $83 million ) of this accounts receivable factoring facility as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , respectively. As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, the company had utilized more than the committed eligible trade receivable amount of €65 million ( $71 million ) based on approval from the bank. The above facilities are backed by 364 -day liquidity commitments from Nordea Bank which extend through May 2016. The commitments are subject to standard terms and conditions for these types of arrangements. United Kingdom Factoring Facility: The company has an arrangement to sell trade receivables from AB Volvo and its European subsidiaries through one of its United Kingdom subsidiaries. Under this arrangement, which expires in February 2018, the company can sell up to, at any point in time, €25 million ( $27 million ) of eligible trade receivables. The receivables under this program are sold at face value and are excluded from the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The company had utilized €9 million ( $10 million ) and €8 million ( $8 million ) of this accounts receivable factoring facility as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , respectively. The agreement is subject to standard terms and conditions for these types of arrangements, including a sole discretion clause whereby the bank retains the right to not purchase receivables, which has not been invoked since the inception of the program. Italy Factoring Facility: The company has an arrangement to sell trade receivables from AB Volvo and its European subsidiaries through one of its Italian subsidiaries. Under this arrangement, which expires in June 2017, the company can sell up to, at any point in time, €30 million ( $33 million ) of eligible trade receivables. The receivables under this program are sold at face value and are excluded from the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The company had utilized €28 million ( $31 million ) and €22 million ( $24 million ) of this accounts receivable factoring facility as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , respectively. The agreement is subject to standard terms and conditions for these types of arrangements including a sole discretion clause whereby the bank retains the right to not purchase receivables, which has not been invoked since the inception of the program. In addition to the above facilities, several of the company’s subsidiaries, primarily in Europe, factor eligible accounts receivable with financial institutions. Certain receivables are factored without recourse to the company and are excluded from accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amount of factored receivables excluded from accounts receivable was $9 million and $18 million at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , respectively. Total costs associated with all of the off-balance sheet arrangements described above were $2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. On-balance sheet arrangements The company has a $100 million U.S. accounts receivables securitization facility. On December 4, 2015, the company entered into an amendment which extends the facility expiration date to December 4, 2018. The maximum permitted priority-debt-to-EBITDA ratio as of the last day of each fiscal quarter under the facility is 2.25 to 1.00 . This program is provided by PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrator and Purchaser, and the other Purchasers and Purchaser Agents from time to time (participating lenders), which are party to the agreement. Under this program, the company has the ability to sell an undivided percentage ownership interest in substantially all of its trade receivables (excluding the receivables due from AB Volvo and subsidiaries eligible for sale under the U.S. accounts receivable factoring facility) of certain U.S. subsidiaries to ArvinMeritor Receivables Corporation ("ARC"), a wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiary. ARC funds these purchases with borrowings from participating lenders under a loan agreement. This program also includes a letter of credit facility pursuant to which ARC may request the issuance of letters of credit issued for the company’s U.S. subsidiaries (originators) or their designees, which when issued will constitute a utilization of the facility for the amount of letters of credit issued. Amounts outstanding under this agreement are collateralized by eligible receivables purchased by ARC and are reported as short-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , no amounts, including letters of credit, were outstanding under this program. This securitization program contains a cross-default to the revolving credit facility. At certain times during any given month, the company may sell eligible accounts receivable under this program to fund intra-month working capital needs. In such months, the company would then typically utilize the cash received from customers throughout the month to repay the borrowings under the program. Accordingly, during any given month, the company may borrow under this program, amounts exceeding the amounts shown as outstanding at fiscal quarter ends.

The variable interest relates to a supply arrangement between the company and the joint venture whereby the company supplies certain components to the joint venture on a cost-plus basis. The company is not the primary beneficiary of the joint venture, as the joint venture partner has shared or absolute control over key manufacturing operations, labor relationships, financing activities and certain other functions of the joint venture. Therefore, the company does not consolidate the joint venture.

Revolving Credit Facility On May 22, 2015, the company entered into a second amendment of its senior secured revolving credit facility. Pursuant to the revolving credit agreement as amended, the company has a $499 million revolving credit facility, $40 million of which matures in April 2017 for banks not electing to extend their commitments under the revolving credit facility, and $459 million of which matures in February 2019. The availability under this facility is dependent upon various factors, including principally performance against certain financial covenants as highlighted below. Prior to May 22, 2015, $89 million of the $499 million revolving credit facility was scheduled to mature in April 2017 for banks not electing to extend their commitments under the revolving credit facility, and $410 million was scheduled to mature in February 2019. The availability under the revolving credit facility is subject to certain financial covenants based on (i) the ratio of the company’s priority debt (consisting principally of amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, U.S. accounts receivable securitization and factoring programs, and third-party non-working capital foreign debt) to EBITDA and (ii) the amount of annual capital expenditures. The company is required to maintain a total priority-debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined in the agreement, of 2.25 to 1.00 or less as of the last day of each fiscal quarter throughout the term of the agreement. The availability under the revolving credit facility is also subject to a collateral test, pursuant to which borrowings on the revolving credit facility cannot exceed 1.0 x the collateral test value. The collateral test is performed on a quarterly basis. At December 31, 2015 , the revolving credit facility was collateralized by approximately $608 million of the company's assets, primarily consisting of eligible domestic U.S. accounts receivable, inventory, plant, property and equipment, intellectual property and the company's investment in all or a portion of certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to interest based on quoted LIBOR rates plus a margin and a commitment fee on undrawn amounts, both of which are based upon the company’s current corporate credit rating. At December 31, 2015 , the margin over LIBOR rate was 325 basis points and the commitment fee was 50 basis points . Overnight revolving credit loans are at the prime rate plus a margin of 225 basis points . Certain of the company’s subsidiaries, as defined in the revolving credit agreement, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Similar subsidiary guarantees are provided for the benefit of the holders of the publicly held notes outstanding under the company’s indentures (see Note 23). No borrowings were outstanding under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015. The amended and extended revolving credit facility includes $100 million of availability for the issuance of letters of credit. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, there were no letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Debt Securities In December 2014, the company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, registering an unlimited amount of debt and/or equity securities that the company may offer in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of sale. The December 2014 shelf registration statement superseded and replaced the shelf registration statement filed in February 2012, as amended. Issuance of Debt Securities - 2024 Notes On February 13, 2014, the company completed a public offering of debt securities consisting of the issuance of $225 million principal amount of 10 -year, 6.25 percent notes due 2024 (the "Initial 2024 Notes"). The offering and sale were made pursuant to the company's February 2012 shelf registration statement. The Initial 2024 Notes were issued under the company's indenture dated as of April 1, 1998, as supplemented. The Initial 2024 Notes were issued at 100 percent of their principal amount. The proceeds from the sale of the Initial 2024 Notes were $225 million and, together with cash on hand, were primarily used to repurchase $250 million principal amount of the company’s previously outstanding 10.625 percent notes due 2018. On June 11, 2015, the company completed a public offering of an additional $225 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25 percent notes due 2024 (the “Additional 2024 Notes"), in an underwritten public offering pursuant to the company's December 2014 shelf registration statement. The proceeds from the sale of the Additional 2024 Notes were used to replenish available cash used to pay $179 million , including premium and fees, to repurchase $110 million principal amount at maturity of the company's 7.875 percent convertible notes due 2026. The company used the remaining net proceeds, along with cash, to purchase annuities to satisfy its obligations under the company's Canadian and German pension plans. The Additional 2024 Notes constitute a further issuance of, and are fungible with, the $ 225 million aggregate principal amount of Initial 2024 Notes that the company issued on February 13, 2014 and form a single series with the Initial 2024 Notes (collectively, the “2024 Notes”). The Additional 2024 Notes have terms identical to the Initial 2024 Notes, other than issue date and offering price, and have the same CUSIP number as the Initial 2024 Notes. Upon completion of the offering, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes of this series was $450 million . The 2024 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.25 percent per annum. The company pays interest on the 2024 Notes semi-annually, in arrears, on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 2024 Notes constitute senior unsecured obligations of the company and rank equally in right of payment with existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, and effectively junior to existing and future secured indebtedness. The 2024 Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the company's subsidiaries from time to time guaranteeing its senior secured credit facility. The guarantees rank equally with existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the guarantors and will be effectively subordinated to all of the existing and future secured indebtedness of the guarantors, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. Prior to February 15, 2019, the company may redeem, at its option, from time to time, the 2024 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be redeemed, plus an applicable premium (as defined in the indenture under which the 2024 Notes were issued) and any accrued and unpaid interest. On or after February 15, 2019, the company may redeem, at its option, from time to time, the 2024 Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on February 15 of the years indicated below: Year Redemption Price 2019 103.125% 2020 102.083% 2021 101.042% 2022 and thereafter 100.000% Prior to February 15, 2017, the company may redeem, at its option, from time to time, up to approximately $79 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more public sales of the company's common stock at a redemption price equal to 106.25 percent of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, provided that at least approximately $146 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes remain outstanding after each such redemption and notice of any such redemption is mailed within 90 days of any such sale of common stock. If a Change of Control (as defined in the indenture under which the 2024 Notes were issued) occurs, unless the company has exercised its right to redeem the 2024 Notes, each holder of 2024 Notes may require the company to repurchase some or all of such holder's 2024 Notes at a purchase price equal to 101 percent of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Issuance of Debt Securities - 2021 Notes On May 31, 2013, the company completed an offering of debt securities consisting of the issuance of $275 million principal amount of 8 -year, 6.75 percent notes due 2021 (the "2021 Notes"). The offering and sale were made pursuant to the company's February 2012 registration statement that was effective at the time of the offering. The 2021 Notes were issued under the company's indenture dated as of April 1, 1998, as supplemented. The 2021 Notes were issued at 100 percent of their principal amount. The proceeds from the sale of the 2021 Notes were $275 million and were primarily used to complete a cash tender offer for $167 million of the 8.125 percent notes due 2015. The 2021 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.75 percent per annum. The company pays interest on the 2021 Notes semi-annually, in arrears, on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 2021 Notes constitute senior unsecured obligations of the company and rank equally in right of payment with existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and effectively junior to existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the security therefor. The 2021 Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the company's subsidiaries from time to time guaranteeing its senior secured credit facility. The guarantees rank equally with existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the guarantors and will be effectively subordinated to all of the existing and future secured indebtedness of the guarantors, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. Prior to June 15, 2016, the company may redeem, at its option, from time to time, the 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the 100 percent of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed plus an applicable premium (as defined in the indenture under which the 2021 Notes were issued) and any accrued and unpaid interest. On or after June 15, 2016, the company may redeem, at its option, from time to time, the 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on June 15 of the years indicated below: Year Redemption Price 2016 105.063% 2017 103.375% 2018 101.688% 2019 and thereafter 100.000% Prior to June 15, 2016, the company also may redeem, at its option, from time to time, up to 35 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more public sales of the company's common stock at a redemption price equal to 106.75 percent of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, so long as at least 65 percent the aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes originally issued remains outstanding after each such redemption and notice of any such redemption is mailed within 90 days of any such sale of common stock. If a Change of Control (as defined in the indenture under which the 2021 Notes were issued) occurs, unless the company has exercised its right to redeem the 2021 Notes, each holder of 2021 Notes may require the company to repurchase some or all of such holder's 2021 Notes at a purchase price equal to 101 percent of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Repurchase of Debt Securities In fiscal year 2015, the company repurchased $110 million principal amount at maturity of the company's 7.875 percent convertible notes, of which $85 million were repurchased at a premium equal to approximately 64 percent of their principal amount in the third quarter of 2015, and $25 million were repurchased at a premium equal to approximately 58 percent of their principal amount in the fourth quarter of 2015. The 7.875 percent convertible notes contain a conversion to equity feature which can be settled in cash upon conversion. Accordingly, the debt and equity components are required to be separately accounted for upon recognition. Subsequently, upon derecognition of the convertible notes, the total cash consideration paid by the company is required to be allocated between the extinguishment of debt component and the reacquisition of equity component. Of the fiscal year 2015 total cash consideration of $179 million paid to repurchase the 7.875 percent convertible notes, $121 million and $58 million were allocated between the extinguishment of debt and reacquisition of equity components, respectively. The repurchase of $110 million principal amount at maturity of the company's 7.875 percent convertible notes was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt, and accordingly, the company recognized a net loss on debt extinguishment of $24 million , which consisted of $14 million of unamortized discount and deferred issuance costs and $10 million of premium. The net loss on debt extinguishment is included in the consolidated statement of operations in interest expense, net. The repurchase was made under the company's 2026 convertible notes repurchase authorization (see Note 21). In fiscal year 2015, the company repurchased $19 million principal amount of the company's 4.0 percent convertible notes due 2027. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, $15 million of the notes were repurchased at a premium equal to approximately 6 percent of their principal amount. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, $4 million of the notes were repurchased at a premium equal to approximately 5 percent of their principal amount. The repurchase of $19 million principal amount of 4.0 percent convertible notes was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt, and accordingly the company recognized an insignificant net loss on debt extinguishment, the majority of which is premium. The net loss on debt extinguishment is included in the consolidated statement of operations in interest expense, net. These repurchases were made under the company's equity and equity-linked repurchase authorization (see Note 21). Capital Leases On March 20, 2012, the company entered into an arrangement to finance equipment acquisitions for various U.S. locations. Under this arrangement, the company can request financing from GE Capital Commercial, Inc. (GE Capital) for progress payments for equipment under construction, not to exceed $10 million at any time. The financing rate is equal to the 30-day LIBOR plus 475 basis points per annum. Under this arrangement, the company can also enter into lease arrangements with GE Capital for completed equipment. The lease term is 60 months and the lease interest rate is equal to the 5-year Swap Rate published by the Federal Reserve Board plus 564 basis points . The company had $9 million and $10 million outstanding under this capital lease arrangement as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively. In addition, the company had another $8 million and $7 million outstanding through other capital lease arrangements at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively. Letter of Credit Facilities On February 21, 2014, the company entered into an arrangement to amend and restate the letter of credit facility with Citicorp USA, Inc., as administrative agent and issuing bank, and the other lenders party thereto. Under the terms of this amended credit agreement, the company has the right to obtain the issuance, renewal, extension and increase of letters of credit up to an aggregate availability of $30 million through December 19, 2015. From December 20, 2015 through March 19, 2019, the aggregate availability is $25 million . This facility contains covenants and events of default generally similar to those existing in the company’s public debt indentures. There were $22 million and $24 million of letters of credit outstanding under this facility at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively. The company had another $6 million of letters of credit outstanding through other letter of credit facilities at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015. Export Financing Arrangements The company entered into a number of export financing arrangements through its Brazilian subsidiary during fiscal year 2014. The export financing arrangements are issued under an incentive program of the Brazilian government to fund working capital for Brazilian companies in exportation programs. The arrangements bear interest at 5.5 percent and have maturity dates in 2016 and 2017. There was $18 million outstanding under these arrangements at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015. Other One of the company's consolidated joint ventures in China participates in a bills of exchange program to settle its obligations with its trade suppliers. These programs are common in China and generally require the participation of local banks. Under these programs, the company's joint venture issues notes payable through the participating banks to its trade suppliers. If the issued notes payable remain unpaid on their respective due dates, this could constitute an event of default under the company’s revolving credit facility if the defaulted amount exceeds $35 million per bank. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the company had $ 10 million and $13 million , respectively, outstanding under this program at more than one bank.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: • Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. • Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related instrument. In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the valuation. The company's assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability. Fair value of financial instruments by the valuation hierarchy at December 31, 2015 is as follows (in millions): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash and cash equivalents $ 128 $ — $ — Short-term debt — 55 19 Long-term debt — 942 17 Foreign exchange forward contracts (asset) — 2 — Foreign exchange forward contracts (liability) — 2 — Short-term foreign currency option contracts (asset) — — 2 Long-term foreign currency option contracts (asset) — — — Fair value of financial instruments by the valuation hierarchy at December 31, 2014 is as follows (in millions): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash and cash equivalents $ 214 $ — $ — Short-term debt — — 5 Long-term debt — 1,152 45 Foreign exchange forward contracts (asset) — 2 — Short-term foreign currency option contracts (asset) — — 4 Long-term foreign currency option contracts (asset) — — 1 The tables below provide a reconciliation of changes in fair value of the Level 3 financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Cash and cash equivalents — All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The company did not have any cash equivalents at December 31, 2015 or September 30, 2015 . Short- and Long-term debt — Fair values are based on transaction prices at public exchange for publicly traded debt. For debt instruments that are not publicly traded, fair values are based on interest rates that would be currently available to the company for issuance of similar types of debt instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities. Foreign exchange forward contracts — The company uses foreign exchange forward purchase and sale contracts with terms of one year or less to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is based on a model which incorporates observable inputs including quoted spot rates, forward exchange rates and discounted future expected cash flows utilizing market interest rates with similar quality and maturity characteristics. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the contracts is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the statement of shareowners’ equity and is recognized in operating income when the underlying forecasted transaction impacts earnings. Foreign currency option contracts — The company uses option contracts to mitigate foreign currency exposure on expected future Indian rupee denominated purchases. The contracts were entered into during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 with effective dates from the start of fiscal year 2015 through the end of fiscal year 2017. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, the company monetized its outstanding foreign currency option contracts and entered into a new series of foreign currency option contracts with effective dates from the start of the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 through the end of fiscal year 2017. The fair value of the foreign currency option contracts is based on a third-party proprietary model, which incorporates inputs at varying unobservable weights of quoted spot rates, market volatility, forward rates, and time utilizing market instruments with similar quality and maturity characteristics. The company did not elect hedge accounting for these derivatives. Changes in fair value associated with these contracts are recorded in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended December 31, 2015, net unrealized losses totaled $ 1 million . From time to time, the company will hedge against its foreign currency exposure related to translations to U.S. dollars of financial results denominated in foreign currencies. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, the company entered into a series of foreign currency option contracts with a total notional amount of $48 million to reduce volatility in the translation of Brazilian real earnings to U.S. dollars. These foreign currency option contracts do not qualify for a hedge accounting election but are expected to mitigate foreign currency translation exposure of Brazilian real earnings to U.S. dollars. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, the company monetized these outstanding foreign currency option contracts and entered into a new series of foreign currency option contracts with effective dates from the start of the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 through the end of fiscal year 2015. In the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2015, we monetized these outstanding foreign currency option contracts. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, there were no Brazilian real foreign currency option contracts outstanding. Also, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, the company entered into a series of foreign currency contracts with total notional amounts of $30 million and $27 million to mitigate the risk of volatility in the translation of Swedish krona and euro earnings to U.S. dollars, respectively. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, the company entered into additional foreign currency contracts with total notional amounts of $19 million and $21 million to mitigate the risk of volatility in the translation of the Swedish krona and euro earnings to U.S. dollars, respectively. These foreign currency option contracts do not qualify for a hedge accounting election but are expected to mitigate foreign currency translation exposure of Swedish krona and euro earnings to U.S. dollars. In the three months ended December 31, 2015, the company recognized an insignificant net gain associated with the change in fair value of these foreign currency option contracts. The fair value of the foreign currency option contracts is based on a third-party proprietary model, which incorporates inputs at varying unobservable weights of quoted spot rates, market volatility, forward rates, and time utilizing market instruments with similar quality and maturity characteristics. Changes in fair value associated with these contracts are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations in other income, net.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies	Contingencies Environmental Federal, state and local requirements relating to the discharge of substances into the environment, the disposal of hazardous wastes and other activities affecting the environment have, and will continue to have, an impact on the operations of the company. The process of estimating environmental liabilities is complex and dependent upon evolving physical and scientific data at the sites, uncertainties as to remedies and technologies to be used and the outcome of discussions with regulatory agencies. The company records liabilities for environmental issues in the accounting period in which they are considered to be probable and the cost can be reasonably estimated. At environmental sites in which more than one potentially responsible party has been identified, the company records a liability for its allocable share of costs related to its involvement with the site, as well as an allocable share of costs related to insolvent parties or unidentified shares. At environmental sites in which Meritor is the only potentially responsible party, the company records a liability for the total probable and estimable costs of remediation before consideration of recovery from insurers or other third parties. The company has been designated as a potentially responsible party at nine Superfund sites, excluding sites as to which the company’s records disclose no involvement or as to which the company’s liability has been finally determined. Management estimates the total reasonably possible costs the company could incur for the remediation of Superfund sites at December 31, 2015 to be approximately $17 million , of which $2 million is probable and recorded as a liability. Included in reasonably possible amounts are estimates for certain remediation actions that may be required if current actions are deemed inadequate by the regulators. In addition to the Superfund sites, various other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been asserted against the company, alleging violations of federal, state and local environmental protection requirements, or seeking remediation of alleged environmental impairments, principally at previously disposed-of properties. For these matters, management has estimated the total reasonably possible costs the company could incur at December 31, 2015 to be approximately $28 million , of which $14 million is probable and recorded as a liability. Included in the company’s environmental liabilities are costs for on-going operation, maintenance and monitoring at environmental sites in which remediation has been put into place. This liability is discounted using discount rates in the range of 0.5 to 2.5 percent and is approximately $8 million at December 31, 2015 . The undiscounted estimate of these costs is approximately $8 million . The following are the components of the Superfund and non-Superfund environmental reserves (in millions): Superfund Sites Non-Superfund Sites Total Beginning balance at September 30, 2015 $ 2 $ 14 $ 16 Payments and other — — — Accruals — — — Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 2 $ 14 $ 16 Environmental reserves are included in Other Current Liabilities (see Note 15) and Other Liabilities (see Note 16) in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The actual amount of costs or damages for which the company may be held responsible could materially exceed the foregoing estimates because of uncertainties, including the financial condition of other potentially responsible parties, the success of the remediation, discovery of new contamination and other factors that make it difficult to predict actual costs accurately. However, based on management’s assessment, after consulting with outside advisors that specialize in environmental matters, and subject to the difficulties inherent in estimating these future costs, the company believes that its expenditures for environmental capital investment and remediation necessary to comply with present regulations governing environmental protection and other expenditures for the resolution of environmental claims will not have a material effect on the company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, in future periods, new laws and regulations, changes in remediation plans, advances in technology and additional information about the ultimate clean-up remedies could significantly change the company’s estimates. Management cannot assess the possible effect of compliance with future requirements. Asbestos Maremont Corporation (“Maremont”), a subsidiary of Meritor, manufactured friction products containing asbestos from 1953 through 1977, when it sold its friction product business. Arvin Industries, Inc., a predecessor of the company, acquired Maremont in 1986. Maremont and many other companies are defendants in suits brought by individuals claiming personal injuries as a result of exposure to asbestos-containing products. Maremont had approximately 5,700 and 5,600 pending asbestos-related claims at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , respectively. Although Maremont has been named in these cases, in the cases where actual injury has been alleged, very few claimants have established that a Maremont product caused their injuries. Plaintiffs’ lawyers often sue dozens or even hundreds of defendants in individual lawsuits, seeking damages against all named defendants irrespective of the disease or injury and irrespective of any causal connection with a particular product. For these reasons, the total number of claims filed is not necessarily the most meaningful factor in determining Maremont’s asbestos-related liability. Maremont’s asbestos-related reserves and corresponding asbestos-related recoveries are summarized as follows (in millions): December 31, September 30, Pending and future claims $ 71 $ 71 Billed but unpaid claims 1 3 Asbestos-related liabilities $ 72 $ 74 Asbestos-related insurance recoveries $ 38 $ 41 A portion of the asbestos-related recoveries and reserves are included in Other Current Assets and Liabilities, with the majority of the amounts recorded in Other Assets and Liabilities (see Notes 11, 13, 15 and 16). Pending and Future Claims: Maremont has engaged Bates White LLC (“Bates White”), a consulting firm with extensive experience estimating costs associated with asbestos litigation, to assist with determining the estimated cost of resolving pending and future asbestos-related claims that have been, and could reasonably be expected to be, filed against Maremont. Bates White prepares these cost estimates annually in September. Although it is not possible to estimate the full range of costs because of various uncertainties, Bates White advised Maremont that it would be possible to determine an estimate of a reasonable forecast of the cost of the probable settlement and defense costs of resolving pending and future asbestos-related claims, based on historical data and certain assumptions with respect to events that may occur in the future. As of September 30, 2015, Bates White provided a reasonable and probable estimate that consisted of a range of equally likely possibilities of Maremont’s obligation for asbestos personal injury claims over the next ten years of $71 million to $100 million . Management recognized a liability of $71 million as of each of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 for pending and future claims over the next ten years . The ultimate cost of resolving pending and future claims is estimated based on the history of claims and expenses for plaintiffs represented by law firms in jurisdictions with an established history with Maremont. Historically, Maremont has recognized incremental insurance receivables associated with recoveries expected for asbestos-related liabilities as the estimate of asbestos-related liabilities for pending and future claims changes. However, Maremont currently expects that its settled insurance coverage will not be sufficient to fully offset its expected asbestos-related liabilities through the end of the ten -year forecasted liability period. Assumptions : The following assumptions were made by Maremont after consultation with Bates White and are included in their study: • Pending and future claims were estimated for a ten -year period ending in fiscal year 2025; • Maremont believes that the litigation environment could change significantly beyond ten years and that the reliability of estimates of future probable expenditures in connection with asbestos-related personal injury claims will decline for each year further in the future. As a result, estimating a probable liability beyond ten years is difficult and uncertain; • On a per claim basis, defense and processing costs for pending and future claims will be at the level consistent with Maremont’s prior experience; • Potential payments made to claimants from other sources, including other defendants and 524(g) trusts favorably impact Maremont’s estimated liability in the future; and • The ultimate indemnity cost of resolving nonmalignant claims with plaintiffs’ law firms in jurisdictions without an established history with Maremont cannot be reasonably estimated. Recoveries : Maremont has insurance that reimburses a substantial portion of the costs incurred defending against asbestos-related claims. The insurance receivable related to asbestos-related liabilities is $38 million and $41 million as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , respectively. The receivable is for coverage provided by one insurance carrier based on a coverage in place agreement. Maremont currently expects to exhaust the remaining limits provided by this coverage sometime in the next ten years. The difference between the estimated liability and insurance receivable is primarily related to exhaustion of settled insurance coverage within the forecasted period and proceeds from settled insurance policies. Amounts received from insurance settlements generally reduce recorded insurance receivables. Maremont maintained insurance coverage with other insurance carriers that management believes also covers indemnity and defense costs. During fiscal year 2013, Maremont re-initiated lawsuits against these carriers, seeking a declaration of its rights to coverage for asbestos claims and to facilitate an orderly and timely collection of insurance proceeds. One of these insurance policies has been partially settled in cash. On December 12, 2015, Maremont received $17 million , of which $5 million was recognized as reduction in asbestos expense and $12 million was recorded as a liability to the insurance carrier as it is required to be returned to the carrier if additional asbestos liability is not incurred. The settlement also provides additional recovery if certain spending thresholds are met. The amounts recorded for the asbestos-related reserves and recoveries from insurance companies are based upon assumptions and estimates derived from currently known facts. All such estimates of liabilities and recoveries for asbestos-related claims are subject to considerable uncertainty because such liabilities and recoveries are influenced by variables that are difficult to predict. The future litigation environment for Maremont could change significantly from its past experience, due, for example, to changes in the mix of claims filed against Maremont in terms of plaintiffs’ law firms, jurisdictions and diseases; legislative or regulatory developments; Maremont’s approach to defending claims; or payments to plaintiffs from other defendants. Estimated recoveries are influenced by coverage issues among insurers and the continuing solvency of various insurance companies. If the assumptions with respect to the estimation period, the nature of pending and future claims, the cost to resolve claims and the amount of available insurance prove to be incorrect, the actual amount of liability for Maremont’s asbestos-related claims, and the effect on the company, could differ materially from current estimates and, therefore, could have a material impact on the company’s financial condition and results of operations. Rockwell International (“Rockwell”) — ArvinMeritor, Inc. (“AM”), a subsidiary of Meritor, along with many other companies, has also been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos used in certain components of Rockwell products many years ago. Liability for these claims was transferred at the time of the spin-off of the automotive business from Rockwell in 1997. Rockwell had approximately 3,100 and 3,000 pending active asbestos claims in lawsuits that name AM, together with many other companies, as defendants at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , respectively. A significant portion of the claims do not identify any of Rockwell’s products or specify which of the claimants, if any, were exposed to asbestos attributable to Rockwell’s products, and past experience has shown that the vast majority of the claimants will likely never identify any of Rockwell’s products. Historically, AM has been dismissed from the vast majority of similar claims filed in the past with no payment to claimants. For those claimants who do show that they worked with Rockwell’s products, management nevertheless believes it has meritorious defenses, in substantial part due to the integrity of the products involved and the lack of any impairing medical condition on the part of many claimants. The Rockwell legacy asbestos-related reserves and corresponding asbestos-related recoveries are summarized as follows (in millions): December 31, September 30, Pending and future claims $ 55 $ 55 Billed but unpaid claims 3 3 Asbestos-related liabilities $ 58 $ 58 Asbestos-related insurance recoveries $ 14 $ 14 Pending and Future Claims: The company has engaged Bates White to assist with determining whether it would be possible to estimate the cost of resolving pending and future Rockwell legacy asbestos-related claims that have been, and could reasonably be expected to be, filed against the company. Bates White prepares these cost estimates annually in September. As of September 30, 2015 , Bates White provided a reasonable and probable estimate that consisted of a range of equally likely possibilities of Rockwell’s obligation for asbestos personal injury claims over the next ten years of $55 million to $74 million . Management recognized a liability for the pending and future claims over the next ten years of $55 million as of each of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 . The ultimate cost of resolving pending and future claims is estimated based on the history of claims and expenses for plaintiffs represented by law firms in jurisdictions with an established history with Rockwell. Assumptions : The following assumptions were made by the company after consultation with Bates White and are included in their study: • Pending and future claims were estimated for a ten -year period ending in fiscal year 2025; • The company believes that the litigation environment could change significantly beyond ten years and that the reliability of estimates of future probable expenditures in connection with asbestos-related personal injury claims will decline for each year further in the future. As a result, estimating a probable liability beyond ten years is difficult and uncertain; • On a per claim basis, defense and processing costs for pending and future claims will be at the level consistent with the company’s prior experience; • Potential payments made to claimants from other sources, including other defendants and 524(g) trusts favorably impact the company’s estimated liability in the future; and • The ultimate indemnity cost of resolving nonmalignant claims with plaintiff’s law firms in jurisdictions without an established history with Rockwell cannot be reasonably estimated. Recoveries : The insurance receivable related to asbestos-related liabilities was $14 million as of each of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 . Included in these amounts are insurance receivables of $9 million as of each of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 that are associated with policies in dispute. Rockwell has insurance coverage that management believes covers indemnity and defense costs, over and above self-insurance retentions, for most of these claims. The company has initiated claims against certain of these carriers to enforce the insurance policies, which are in various stages of the litigation process. The company expects to recover some portion of the defense and indemnity costs it has incurred to date, over and above self-insured retentions, and some portion of the costs for defending asbestos claims going forward. The amounts recognized for policies in dispute are based on consultation with advisors, status of settlement negotiations with certain insurers and underlying analysis performed by management. The remaining receivable recognized is related to coverage provided by one carrier based on a coverage-in-place insurance arrangement. If the assumptions with respect to the estimation period, the nature of pending claims, the cost to resolve claims and the amount of available insurance prove to be incorrect, the actual amount of liability for Rockwell's asbestos-related claims, and the effect on the company, could differ materially from current estimates and, therefore, could have a material impact on the company’s financial condition and results of operations. Indemnifications The company has provided indemnifications in conjunction with certain transactions, primarily divestitures. These indemnities address a variety of matters, which may include environmental, tax, asbestos and employment-related matters, and the periods of indemnification vary in duration. In December 2005, the company guaranteed a third party’s obligation to reimburse another party for payment of health and prescription drug benefits to a group of retired employees. The retirees were former employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company prior to it being acquired by the company. The wholly-owned subsidiary, which was part of the company’s light vehicle aftermarket business, was sold by the company in fiscal year 2006. Prior to May 2009, except as set forth hereinafter, the third party met its obligations to reimburse the other party. In May 2009, the third party filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code requiring the company to recognize its obligations under the guarantee. The company recorded a $28 million liability in fiscal year 2009 for this matter. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , the remaining estimated liability for this matter was approximately $13 million . In connection with the sale of its interest in MSSC in October 2009, the company provided certain indemnities to the buyer for its share of potential obligations related to pension funding shortfall, environmental and other contingencies, and valuation of certain accounts receivable and inventories. The company’s estimated exposure under these indemnities at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 was approximately $1 million and $2 million , respectively, and is included in other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The company is not aware of any other claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under such indemnifications. Other As a result of performing ongoing product conformance testing in the ordinary course of business, the company identified a non-safety related, potential product performance issue arising from a defective supplier component. During fiscal year 2013, the company notified all major customers and initiated a sampling campaign. Management estimated the total costs the company could incur for a full campaign to be in the range of $12 million to $20 million , of which $12 million was recorded as a specific warranty contingency reserve. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, the company received $5 million of non-cash cost recovery from the component supplier. During the second half of fiscal year 2014, the company worked with customers to determine the appropriate next steps. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, after no field failures were identified during the sampling campaign, the company determined a full campaign to be unnecessary and moved to a fix-as-find approach with an extended warranty, thereby reducing the accrual significantly. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , the estimated cost the company could incur for this non-safety related, potential product performance issue was $2 million and $3 million , respectively. The company identified certain sales transactions for which value added tax was required to be remitted to certain tax jurisdictions for tax years 2009 through 2015. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 , the company’s estimate of the probable liability was $10 million . In addition, various lawsuits, claims and proceedings, other than those specifically disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements, have been or may be instituted or asserted against the company, relating to the conduct of the company’s business, including those pertaining to product liability, warranty or recall claims, intellectual property, safety and health, contract and employment matters. Although the outcome of other litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the company, management believes the disposition of matters that are pending will not have a material effect on the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Equity [Abstract]
Shareowners' Equity	Shareowners' Equity Equity and Equity-Linked Repurchase Authorizations In June 2014, the company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $210 million of its equity and equity-linked securities (including convertible debt securities), subject to the achievement of its M2016 net debt reduction target and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and its debt covenants. In September 2014, the company’s Board authorized the repurchase of up to $40 million of its equity or equity-linked securities (including convertible debt securities) under the $210 million authorization that may be made annually without regard to achievement of the M2016 net debt reduction target. These authorizations have no stated expiration. During the three months ended December 31, 2015 , the company repurchased 3.9 million shares of common stock for $43 million (including commission costs) pursuant to these authorizations. As of December 31, 2015 , the company has repurchased 8.1 million shares of common stock for $98 million (including commission costs) and $19 million principal amount of its 4.0 percent convertible notes due 2027 pursuant to the equity and equity-linked repurchase authorizations. The amount remaining available for repurchases under these authorizations was $94 million at December 31, 2015 . In January 2015, the Offering Committee of the company’s Board of Directors approved a repurchase program for up to $150 million aggregate principal amount of any of its public debt securities (including convertible debt securities) from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, until September 30, 2016, subject to compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the company's debt covenants. This repurchase program is in addition to the equity and equity-linked repurchase authorizations described above. The amount remaining available for repurchases under this program is $150 million as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015. In May 2015, the Offering Committee of the company's Board of Directors approved a repurchase program for up to $175 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of its 7.875 percent convertible notes due 2026 from time to time prior to September 30, 2015, subject to compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and its debt covenants. This repurchase program was in addition to the equity and equity-linked repurchase authorizations and debt repurchase program described above.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segment Information	Business Segment Information The company defines its operating segments as components of its business where separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer. The company has two reportable segments at December 31, 2015 , as follows: • The Commercial Truck & Industrial segment supplies drivetrain systems and components, including axles, drivelines and braking and suspension systems, primarily for medium- and heavy-duty trucks, military, construction, bus and coach, fire and emergency and other applications in North America, South America, Europe and Asia Pacific. This segment also includes the company's aftermarket businesses in Asia Pacific and South America; and • The Aftermarket & Trailer segment supplies axles, brakes, drivelines, suspension parts and other replacement parts to commercial vehicle and industrial aftermarket customers. This segment also supplies a wide variety of undercarriage products and systems for trailer applications in North America. Segment EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-controlling interests in consolidated joint ventures, loss on sale of receivables, restructuring expense and asset impairment charges. The company uses Segment EBITDA as the primary basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of each of its reportable segments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements, except for the use of Segment EBITDA. The company may allocate certain common costs, primarily corporate functions, between the segments differently than the company would for stand alone financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These allocated costs include expenses for shared services such as information technology, finance, communications, legal and human resources. The company does not allocate interest expense and certain legacy and other corporate costs not directly associated with the segment. Segment information is summarized as follows (in millions): Commercial Truck & Industrial Aftermarket & Trailer Eliminations Total Three Months Ended December 31, 2015 External Sales $ 613 $ 196 $ — $ 809 Intersegment Sales 20 7 (27 ) — Total Sales $ 633 $ 203 $ (27 ) $ 809 Three Months Ended December 31, 2014 External Sales $ 678 $ 201 $ — $ 879 Intersegment Sales 25 7 (32 ) — Total Sales $ 703 $ 208 $ (32 ) $ 879 Three Months Ended December 31, 2015 2014 Segment EBITDA: Commercial Truck & Industrial $ 52 $ 56 Aftermarket & Trailer 20 25 Segment EBITDA 72 81 Unallocated legacy and corporate costs, net (1) 4 (2 ) Interest expense, net (22 ) (19 ) Provision for income taxes (7 ) (7 ) Depreciation and amortization (15 ) (15 ) Noncontrolling interests (1 ) (1 ) Loss on sale of receivables (2 ) (2 ) Restructuring costs (1 ) (3 ) Income from continuing operations attributable to Meritor, Inc. $ 28 $ 32 (1) Unallocated legacy and corporate costs, net represents items that are not directly related to the company's business segments.

Condensed Financial Information of Parent Company Only Disclosure [Abstract]
Supplemental guarantor condensed consolidating financial statements	Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X requires that separate financial information for issuers and guarantors of registered securities be filed in certain circumstances. Certain of the company's 100% owned subsidiaries, as defined in the credit agreement (the "Guarantors"), irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee amounts outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility on a joint and several basis. Similar subsidiary guarantees were provided for the benefit of the holders of the notes outstanding under the company's indentures (see Note 17). Schedule I of Rule 5-04 of Regulation S-X requires that condensed financial information of the registrant (Parent) on a stand alone basis be filed when the restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries exceed 25 percent of consolidated net assets as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year. Certain subsidiaries in China, India and Brazil are restricted by law from transfer of cash by dividends, loans, or advances to Parent, which exceeded 25 percent of consolidated net assets of Parent as of September 30, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, the company's proportionate share of net assets restricted from transfer by law was $45 million . In lieu of providing separate audited financial statements for the Parent and Guarantors, the company has included the accompanying condensed consolidating financial statements as permitted by Regulation S-X Rules 3-10 and 5-04. These condensed consolidating financial statements are presented on the equity method. Under this method, the investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for the Parent's share of the subsidiary's cumulative results of operations, capital contributions and distribution and other equity changes. The Guarantors are combined in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation (Policies

Basis of Presentation (Policies)	3 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
New Accounting Standards	Accounting standards to be implemented In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from adoption of this guidance. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, as part of its Simplification Initiative, which updates Income Taxes (Topic 740) guidance to eliminate the requirement for an entity to separate deferred tax liabilities and tax assets between current and noncurrent amounts in a classified balance sheet. Deferred taxes will be presented as noncurrent under the new standard. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The company is assessing the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires entities that measure inventory using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The standard is required to be adopted by public business entities in annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The company is assessing the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), which provides guidance about management's responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt relating to an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures as applicable. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from adoption of this guidance. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period. This guidance requires that an award with a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, such as when an employee retires, but may still vest if and when the performance target is achieved, be treated as an award with performance conditions that affect vesting and the company apply existing guidance under ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The company is assessing the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires companies to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control rather than when companies have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of a good or service and requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. ASU 2014-09 was originally effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016 and interim periods therein. In August 2015, the FASB issued a deferral of ASU 2014-09 of one year making it effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017 while also providing for early adoption but not before the original effective date. The company plans to implement this standard in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018 and is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. Accounting standards implemented during fiscal year 2016 In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which updates Business Combination (Topic 805) guidance to eliminate the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. The guidance should be applied prospectively to measurement period adjustments that occur after the effective date. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The company adopted this standard in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2016. This guidance did not have a material impact on the company's consolidated financial statements. In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This guidance changes the definition of a discontinued operation to include only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The guidance also requires new disclosure of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning beginning after December 15, 2014, and is to be applied prospectively. The company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The impact of this new guidance on the company's consolidated financial statements is dependent upon future business divestitures. Previous divestitures and
Inventories	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using FIFO or average methods) or market (determined on the basis of estimated realizable values)
Environmental	Federal, state and local requirements relating to the discharge of substances into the environment, the disposal of hazardous wastes and other activities affecting the environment have, and will continue to have, an impact on the operations of the company. The process of estimating environmental liabilities is complex and dependent upon evolving physical and scientific data at the sites, uncertainties as to remedies and technologies to be used and the outcome of discussions with regulatory agencies. The company records liabilities for environmental issues in the accounting period in which they are considered to be probable and the cost can be reasonably estimated. At environmental sites in which more than one potentially responsible party has been identified, the company records a liability for its allocable share of costs related to its involvement with the site, as well as an allocable share of costs related to insolvent parties or unidentified shares. At environmental sites in which Meritor is the only potentially responsible party, the company records a liability for the total probable and estimable costs of remediation before consideration of recovery from insurers or other third parties.
