Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions were used to review goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairment (see Notes 5 and 12), costs associated with the company’s restructuring actions (see Note 6), product warranty liabilities (see Note 15), long-term incentive compensation plan obligations (see Note 20), retiree medical and pension obligations (see Notes 21 and 22), income taxes (see Note 23), and contingencies including asbestos (see Note 24). Concentration of Credit Risk In the normal course of business, the company provides credit to customers. The company limits its credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintaining reserves for potential credit losses and through accounts receivable factoring programs. The company’s accounts receivables are generally due from medium- and heavy-duty truck OEMs, specialty vehicle manufacturers, aftermarket customers, and trailer producers. The company’s ten largest customers accounted for 74 percent , 73 percent and 75 percent of sales in fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Sales to the company's top three customers were 49 percent , 50 percent and 55 percent of total sales in fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At September 30, 2017 and 2016, 23 percent and 22 percent of the company's trade accounts receivables were from the company's three largest customers, respectively. Consolidation and Joint Ventures The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and those subsidiaries in which the company has control. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations of controlled subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements and are offset by a related noncontrolling interest recorded for the noncontrolling partners’ ownership. Investments in affiliates that are not controlled or majority-owned are reported using the equity method of accounting (see Note 14). Foreign Currency Local currencies are generally considered the functional currencies for operations outside the U.S. For operations reporting in local currencies, assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates with cumulative currency translation adjustments included as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the consolidated balance sheet. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate a possible impairment. An impairment loss is recognized when a long-lived asset’s carrying value exceeds the fair value. Long-lived assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. Discontinued Operations A business component that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale is reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The results of discontinued operations are aggregated and presented separately in the consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of cash flows (see Note 3). Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized upon shipment of product and transfer of ownership to the customer. Provisions for customer sales allowances and incentives are recorded as a reduction of sales at the time of product shipment. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts An allowance for uncollectible trade receivables is recorded when accounts are deemed uncollectible based on consideration of write-off history, aging analysis, and any specific, known troubled accounts. 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): Year Ended September 30, 2017 2016 2015 Basic average common shares outstanding 88.0 90.1 96.9 Impact of stock options — — 0.1 Impact of restricted shares, restricted share units and performance share units 1.7 1.9 2.0 Impact of convertible notes 0.5 — 1.1 Diluted average common shares outstanding 90.2 92.0 100.1 In November 2016, 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 was $12.77 , which was the company’s share price on the grant date of December 1, 2016. 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 was $12.77 , which was the company's share price on the grant date of December 1, 2016. The actual number of performance share units that will vest depends upon the company’s performance relative to the established M2019 goals for the three -year performance period of October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2019, measured at the end of the performance period. The number of performance share units that vest will depend on meeting the established M2019 goals at the following weights: 50% associated with achieving an Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations target, 25% associated with achieving a target for revenue growth above market and 25% associated with achieving a Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA 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 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 was $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 was $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 that vest 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 was $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 was $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 that vest 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 represented 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 was $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 vested on December 1, 2016 depended 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, which was measured after the end of the performance period. The company's performance resulted in the vesting of the performance share units at 112% of the grant date amounts. There were 0.4 million , 1.3 million and 0.9 million shares related to these performance share units included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the years ended September 30, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively, as certain payout thresholds were achieved relative to the established M2016 goals. For the years ended September 30, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , the dilutive impact of previously issued restricted shares, restricted share units, and performance share units was 1.7 million , 1.9 million and 2.0 million , respectively. For the years ended September 30, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , compensation cost related to restricted shares, restricted share units, performance share units and stock options was $19 million , $9 million and $10 million , respectively. For the fiscal years ended 2017 and 2015, 0.5 million and 1.1 million shares were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the average stock price exceeded the conversion price for the 7.875 percent convertible notes due 2026. For the year ended September 30, 2016, 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 the conversion price for the 7.875 percent convertible notes due 2026. Other Other significant accounting policies are included in the related notes, specifically, goodwill (Note 5), inventories (Note 10), property and depreciation (Note 12), capitalized software (Note 13), product warranties (Note 15), financial instruments (Note 18), equity based compensation (Note 20), retirement medical plans (Note 21), retirement pension plans (Note 22), income taxes (Note 23) and environmental and asbestos-related liabilities (Note 24). Accounting standards to be implemented In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendment changes the recognition and presentation requirements of hedge accounting including: eliminating the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness; and presenting all items that affect earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The guidance also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. This standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is allowed at any time after the issuance of the ASU including in an interim period. If adopted at a period other than the beginning of a fiscal year, cumulative effect adjustments are reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year. Changes to income statement classification and financial statement disclosures are applied prospectively from the date of adoption. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. ASU 2017-09 amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements and provides guidance on when an entity would be required to apply modification accounting. This standard is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 affects entities who own investments in callable debt securities and aligns the amortization period of premiums on callable debt securities to expectations incorporated in market pricing on the underlying securities. This standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in this update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effective adjustment directly to retained earnings at the beginning of the adoption period. The company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from adoption of this guidance. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The new guidance requires entities to only include the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in operating expenses (together with other employee compensation costs). The other components of net benefit cost, including amortization of prior service cost/credit, are to be included in a separate line item(s) outside of any sub-total of operating income. ASU 2017-07 also provides guidance that only the service cost component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization. This standard is effective for public business entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The revisions in this amendment are to be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets.

ASU 2017-05 provides guidance which defines an “in substance nonfinancial asset”; unifies guidance related to partial sales of nonfinancial assets; eliminates rules specifically addressing sales of real estate; removes exceptions to the financial asset derecognition model; and clarifies the accounting for contributions of nonfinancial assets to joint ventures. The effective date and the transition requirements for the amendments in ASU 2017-05 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606, described below. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new guidance eliminates the need to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure a goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. The revised guidance will be applied prospectively, and is effective for calendar year-end SEC filers in 2020. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the company's consolidated financial statements.

To be considered a business under the new guidance, it must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. The amendment removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and will be applied prospectively. The potential impact of this new guidance will be assessed for future acquisitions or dispositions, but it is not expected to have a material impact on the company's consolidated financial statements.

Under the ASU, if a decision maker is required to evaluate whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it will need to consider only its proportionate indirect interest in the VIE held through a common control party. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.

Total discontinued operations assets and liabilities as of both September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $1 million and $6 million , respectively. Prior Period Divestitures Body Systems In January 2011, the company completed the sale of its Body Systems business to Inteva Products Holding Coöperatieve U.A., an assignee of 81 Acquisition LLC and an affiliate of Inteva Products, LLC pursuant to the sale agreement signed in August 2010. The purchase price included a five -year, 8 -percent promissory note for $15 million , payable in five annual installments beginning in January 2012 with the final payment received in fiscal year 2016. MSSC In October 2009, the company closed on the sale of its 57 percent interest in MSSC, a joint venture that manufactured and supplied automotive coil springs, torsion bars and stabilizer bars in North America, to the joint venture partner, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Steel Mfg. Co., LTD (MSM). In connection with the sale of its interest in MSSC, the company provided certain indemnifications 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 September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was approximately $1 million and is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Adjustments to amounts previously reported in discontinued operations that are related to the disposal of the company’s MSSC business are reflected in discontinued operations for all periods presented. |

Assets And Liabilities Held-For-Sale [Abstract] | |
ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE | ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE During the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, management approved a plan to sell a business within the Commercial Truck & Industrial reporting segment. The company expects to sell the business within one year from management's approval of the plan. The business and its associated assets and liabilities met the criteria for presentation as held for sale as of September 30, 2017. Assets and liabilities held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Upon meeting the held for sale criteria, the company determined the carrying value of the business exceeded the fair value less costs to sell. As a result, an impairment charge of $3 million was recorded within other operating expense, net in the company’s consolidated statement of operations during fiscal year 2017. |

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. Annual Impairment Analysis ASC Topic 350 allows entities to perform an initial qualitative evaluation to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The results of this qualitative assessment determine whether it is necessary to perform step one of the required two-step impairment test. As allowed by the revised guidance, the company has elected to bypass the qualitative assessment for fiscal year 2017 and proceed directly to the two-step impairment test. Excluding the qualitative evaluation discussed above, the goodwill impairment review is a two-step process. Step one consists of a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment loss may be recognized if the review indicates that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Estimates of fair value are primarily determined by using discounted cash flows and market multiples on earnings. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, step two requires the fair value of the reporting unit to be allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities of that reporting unit, resulting in an implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying amount of the goodwill of the reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment charge is recorded equal to the excess. The impairment review is highly judgmental and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions have a significant impact on the amount of any impairment charge recorded. Discounted cash flow methods are dependent upon assumptions of future sales trends, market conditions and cash flows of each reporting unit over several years. Actual cash flows in the future may differ significantly from those previously forecasted. Sales of the company’s primary military program wound down to insignificant levels in 2015. Additionally, the U.S. Army awarded a new contract for the production of the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle to Oshkosh for which the company is supplying wheel ends. Revenue is expected to be significantly less than if the program had been awarded differently and the company was supplying its ProTec independent suspension. The company continues to work toward securing participation in additional military programs; however, based on sales expectations for currently awarded programs, the company's fair value of the Defense business did not exceed its carrying value. Since the fair value of the business did not exceed the implied fair value of its net assets without goodwill enough to support the full amount of goodwill, the company's Defense reporting unit, which is included in the Commercial Truck & Industrial segment, recorded a goodwill impairment of $15 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, which is the total accumulated impairment loss. The fair value of the other reporting units exceeded their carrying values. For fiscal year 2017, the fair value of all of the company’s reporting units exceeded their carrying values. On August 31, 2017, we acquired certain assets, including the product portfolio and related technologies of Fabco Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiaries and assumed certain liabilities, for a cash purchase price of $34 million . The Fabco acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. As a result, we recorded provisional goodwill in the amount of $19 million for the excess of consideration paid over the fair value of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed, excluding identifiable intangible assets. This recorded goodwill consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the company and Fabco. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Commercial Truck & Industrial reportable segment. The assignment of goodwill to reporting units is not complete. A summary of the changes in the carrying value of goodwill is presented below (in millions): Commercial Truck & Industrial Aftermarket & Trailer Total Goodwill $ 254 $ 163 $ 417 Accumulated impairment losses (15 ) — (15 ) Balance at September 30, 2015 239 163 402 Impairment — — — Foreign currency translation (9 ) (3 ) (12 ) Balance at September 30, 2016 230 160 390 Impairment — — — Foreign currency translation 3 2 5 Goodwill acquired from acquisition 19 — 19 Balance at September 30, 2017 $ 252 $ 162 $ 414 |

ACQUISITIONS | ACQUISITIONS Fabco On August 31, 2017, the company acquired certain assets, including the product portfolio and related technologies of Fabco Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Fabco") and assumed certain liabilities, for a cash purchase price of $34 million . The Fabco acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. With the addition of Fabco's suite of products, Meritor will have an expanded portfolio of complementary products, including transfer cases, specialty gear boxes, auxiliary transmissions and power take off units for medium, heavy and extra heavy vehicles for on- and off-highway, construction, defense, rail and other industrial applications. These products are available to both OE and aftermarket customers. This transaction allows the company to offer global customers a wider breadth of capabilities and an expanded portfolio of complementary products. The acquisition is expected to also help the company diversify its customer base and expand into the rail and oil & gas industries not currently served. Pro forma financial information of the company is presented in the following table for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 as if the Fabco acquisition had occurred on October 1, 2015.

Issuance of Debt Securities On September 22, 2017, the company issued $325 million principal amount of the 3.25 percent convertible senior notes due 2037 (the " 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes"). The 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes were sold in an underwritten offering to qualified institutional buyers in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes were issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 principal amount per note and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Net proceeds received by the company, after issuance costs and discounts, were approximately $317 million . The company pays 3.25 percent cash interest per year on the principal amount of the 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning April 15, 2018, to holders of record at the close of business on the preceding April 1 or October 1, respectively. Interest accrues on the principal amount of the 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes from and including the date the 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes were issued or from, and including, the last date in respect of which interest has been paid or provided for, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the next interest payment date. The 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries that guarantee the company’s amended and restated revolving credit facility. The 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes are the company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and effectively junior to any of the company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The guarantee by each subsidiary guarantor will rank equally with existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of such subsidiary end effectively junior to all of the existing and future secured indebtedness of such subsidiary, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash up to the principal amount of the 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes surrendered for conversion and, pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the company’s common stock, at the company’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the company’s conversion obligation in excess of the principal amount of the notes being converted. The initial conversion rate, subject to adjustment, is 25.0474 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes (which represents an initial conversion price of $39.92 per share). Holders may convert their notes, at their option, only under the following circumstances prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding July 15, 2037, other than during the period from, and including, July 15, 2025 to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding October 15, 2025: • during any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2017, if the closing sale price of the company’s common stock for 20 or more trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter equals or exceeds 130 percent of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day; • during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes for each trading day during such five consecutive trading day period was less than 98 percent of the product of the closing price of the company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; • if the company calls any of the 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time from the delivery of the redemption notice through the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or • upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. During the period from, and including, July 15, 2025 to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding October 15, 2025, and on or after July 15, 2037 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. On or after October 15, 2025, but prior to July 15, 2037, the company may redeem the 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes at the company’s option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price in cash equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Further, holders may require the company to purchase all or a portion of their 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date, on October 15, 2025 or upon certain fundamental changes. The maximum number of shares of common stock into which the 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes are convertible is approximately 8 million shares. Accounting guidance requires that cash-settled convertible debt, such as the 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes, be separated into debt and equity components at issuance and a value be assigned to each. The value assigned to the debt component is the estimated fair value, as of the issuance date, of a similar bond without the conversion feature. The difference between the bond cash proceeds and this estimated fair value, representing the value assigned to the equity component, is recorded as a debt discount. The company measures the debt component at fair value by utilizing a discounted cash flow model. This model utilizes observable inputs such as contractual repayment terms, benchmark forward yield curves, yield curves and quoted market prices of its own nonconvertible debt. The yield curves are acquired from an independent source that is widely used in the financial industry and reviewed internally by personnel with appropriate expertise in valuation methodologies. Repurchase of Debt Securities The company used the net proceeds, after issuance costs and discounts, of approximately $317 million from the offering of the 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes to acquire portions of its outstanding 7.875 percent senior convertible notes due 2026 (the “ 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes”) and its 4.0 percent senior convertible notes due 2027 (the “ 4.0 Percent Convertible Notes”) in transactions that settled concurrently with the closing of the 3.25 Percent Convertible Note offering on September 22, 2017. In total, the company repurchased $117 million of the $140 million principal amount of its 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes and $119 million of the $143 million principal amount of its 4.0 Percent Convertible Notes. The 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes and 4.0 Percent Convertible Notes were repurchased at premiums equal to 130 percent and 16 percent , respectively, above their principal amount. These repurchases were accounted for as extinguishments of debt, and accordingly the company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $31 million in the aggregate ( $23 million with respect to the 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes and $8 million with respect to the 4.0 Percent Convertible Notes). The loss on extinguishment is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations within Interest expense, net. On September 28, 2017, the company redeemed $100 million of the $275 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the company's 6.75 percent notes due 2021 (the " 6.75 Percent Notes") at a price of $1,033.75 per $1,000 of principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. As a result, a loss on debt extinguishment of $5 million was recorded in the company's consolidated statement of operations within Interest expense, net. The redemption was made under the company's July 2016 debt repurchase authorization (see Note 19). On November 2, 2017, the company redeemed the remaining $175 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the company's 6.75 Percent Notes at a price of $ 1,033.75 per $ 1,000 of principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption was made pursuant to a special authorization from the Board of Directors in connection with the sale of the Meritor WABCO JV. On March 1, 2016, substantially all $55 million principal amount outstanding of the company's 4.625 percent convertible notes due 2026 (the "4.625 Percent Convertible Notes") were repurchased at 100 percent of the face value of the notes. On April 15, 2016, the remaining 4.625 Percent Convertible Notes were redeemed at 100 percent of the face value. As of September 30, 2016 none of the 4.625 Percent Convertible Notes were outstanding. The repurchases were made under the company's equity and equity linked repurchase authorization (see Note 19). The repurchase program under this authorization was complete as of September 30, 2016. 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 purchased 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 liability 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 the liability component and the reacquisition of the equity component. Of the fiscal year 2015 total cash consideration of $179 million paid, $121 million and $58 million were allocated between the liability and 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 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 loss on debt extinguishment was included in Interest expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations. The repurchase was made under the company's 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes repurchase authorization (see Note 19). In fiscal year 2015, the company repurchased $19 million principal amount of the company's 4.0 Percent Convertible Notes. 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 of 4.0 Percent Convertible Notes was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt, and accordingly the company recognized an insignificant loss on debt extinguishment, the majority of which was premium. The loss on debt extinguishment was included in Interest expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations. The repurchases were made under our equity and equity-linked repurchase authorization. Current Classification of 6.75 Percent Notes As of September 30, 2017, the company announced its intention to redeem all of the remaining $175 million aggregate principal amount then outstanding of the company's 6.75 Percent Notes. On November 2, 2017, all of the $175 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the company's 6.75 Percent Notes was redeemed at a price of $1,033.75 per $1,000 of principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. As a result, the 6.75 Percent Notes were classified as current as of September 30, 2017 and non-current as of September 30, 2016. Current Classification of 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes The 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes were classified as current as of September 30, 2017, as the holders of the company's 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes are entitled to convert all or a portion of their 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes at any time beginning October 1, 2017 and prior to the close of business on December 30, 2017 at a rate of 83.3333 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes (representing a conversion price of approximately $12.00 per share). The 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes are convertible as the closing price of shares of the company's common stock for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading-day period ending on September 29, 2017 was greater than 120 percent of the $12.00 conversion price associated with the 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes. The 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes surrendered for conversion, if any, would be settled in cash up to the principal amount at maturity of the 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes and cash, stock or a combination of cash and stock, at the company’s election, for the remainder of the conversion value of the 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes in excess of the principal amount at maturity and cash in lieu of any fractional shares, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the indenture that governs the 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes. As a result of the 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes becoming currently convertible for cash up to the principal amount of $23 million at the holder's option, $2 million of permanent equity was reclassified as mezzanine equity. The 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes were classified as noncurrent as of September 30, 2016 . Revolving Credit Facility On March 31, 2017, the company amended and restated its revolving credit facility. Pursuant to the revolving credit agreement, as amended, the company has a $525 million revolving credit facility that matures in March 2022. Additionally, $4 million was capitalized as deferred issuance costs and will be amortized over the term of the agreement. 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 September 30, 2017 , the revolving credit facility was collateralized by approximately $749 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 September 30, 2017 , the margin over LIBOR rate was 300 basis points , and the commitment fee was 45 basis points . Overnight revolving credit loans are at the prime rate plus a margin of 200 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 28). No borrowings were outstanding under the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 . The amended and extended revolving credit facility includes $100 million of availability for the issuance of letters of credit. At September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, 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. 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes For a description of the 3.25 Percent Convertible Notes, see "Issuance of Debt Securities" above. 6.25 Percent 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 6.25 Percent Notes"). The offering and sale were made pursuant to the company's February 2012 shelf registration statement. The Initial 6.25 Percent Notes were issued under the company's indenture dated as of April 1, 1998, as supplemented. The Initial 6.25 Percent Notes were issued at 100 percent of their principal amount. The proceeds from the sale of the Initial 6.25 Percent 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 6.25 Percent Notes"), in an underwritten public offering pursuant to the company's December 2014 shelf registration statement. The proceeds from the sale of the Additional 6.25 Percent 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. The company used the remaining net proceeds to purchase an annuity to satisfy its obligations under the Canadian and German pension plans for its employees and for general corporate purposes. The Additional 6.25 Percent Notes constitute a further issuance of, and are fungible with, the $225 million aggregate principal amount of Initial 6.25 Percent Notes that the company issued on February 13, 2014 and form a single series with the Initial 6.25 Percent Notes (collectively, the “ 6.25 Percent Notes”). The Additional 6.25 Percent Notes have terms identical to the Initial 6.25 Percent Notes, other than issue date and offering price, and have the same CUSIP number as the Initial 6.25 Percent Notes. Upon completion of the offering, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes of this series was $450 million . The 6.25 Percent Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.25 percent per annum.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term debt, long-term debt, and foreign exchange forward and options contracts. The company uses derivatives for hedging and non-trading purposes in order to manage its foreign exchange rate exposures. Foreign Exchange Contracts As a result of the company’s substantial international operations, it is exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations, including in connection with transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, the company translates sales and financial results denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars for purposes of its consolidated financial statements. As a result, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against these foreign currencies generally will have a negative impact on reported revenues and operating income, while depreciation of the U.S. dollar against these foreign currencies will generally have a positive effect on reported revenues and operating income. For fiscal years 2015 and 2016, our reported financial results were adversely affected by appreciation of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. For fiscal year 2017, our reported financial results benefited from depreciation of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. The company has a foreign currency cash flow hedging program to reduce the company’s exposure to changes in exchange rates on foreign currency purchases and sales. The company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage the company’s exposures arising from foreign currency exchange risk. Gains and losses on the underlying foreign currency exposures are partially offset with gains and losses on the foreign currency forward contracts. Under this foreign currency cash flow hedging program, the company has designated the foreign exchange contracts (the “contracts”) as cash flow hedges of underlying forecasted foreign currency purchases and sales. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the contracts is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) in the consolidated balance sheet and is recognized in operating income when the underlying forecasted transaction impacts earnings. The terms of the foreign exchange contracts generally require the company to place cash on deposit as collateral if the fair value of these contracts represents a liability for the company and exceeds the collateral threshold. The fair values of the foreign exchange derivative instruments and any related collateral cash deposits are presented on a net basis as the derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements. At September 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the notional amount of the company's foreign exchange contracts outstanding under its foreign currency cash flow hedging program were $126 million , $190 million , and $137 million respectively. The company classifies the cash flows associated with the contracts in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. This is consistent with the classification of the cash flows associated with the underlying hedged item. From time to time the company hedges against foreign currency exposure related to translations to U.S. dollars of financial results denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in fair value associated with these contracts are recorded in other income, net, in the consolidated statement of operations. The company also uses option contracts to mitigate foreign currency exposure on expected future Indian Rupee-denominated purchases. Changes in fair value associated with these contracts are recorded in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations. The following table summarizes the impact of the company’s derivatives instruments on comprehensive income for fiscal years ended September 30 (in millions): Location of Gain (Loss) 2017 2016 2015 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Amount of gain (loss) recognized in AOCL (effective portion) AOCL $ (1 ) $ (3 ) $ 3 Amount of gain (loss) reclassified from AOCL into income (effective portion) Cost of Sales 1 (4 ) 6 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Amount of gain (loss) recognized in income Cost of Sales 1 (1 ) 2 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Amount of gain (loss) recognized in income Other Income (expense) — (1 ) 2 Fair Value Fair values of financial instruments are summarized as follows (in millions): September 30, September 30, Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents $ 88 $ 88 $ 160 $ 160 Short-term debt 288 329 14 14 Long-term debt 750 859 982 1,051 Foreign exchange forward contracts (other assets) — — 1 1 Foreign exchange forward contracts (other liabilities) 3 3 2 2 Short-term foreign currency option contracts (other assets) 2 2 — — Long-term foreign currency option contracts (other assets) 1 1 2 2 The following table reflects the offsetting of derivative assets and liabilities (in millions): September 30, 2017 September 30, 2016 Gross Gross Amounts Net Amounts Gross Gross Amounts Net Amounts Derivative Asset Foreign exchange forward contract — — — 1 — 1 Derivative Liabilities Foreign exchange forward contract 3 — 3 2 — 2 Fair Value The current FASB guidance provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. 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 September 30, 2017 is as follows (in millions): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash and cash equivalents $ 88 $ — $ — Short-term debt — 325 4 Long-term debt — 851 8 Foreign exchange forward contracts (asset) — — — Foreign exchange forward contracts (liability) — 3 — Short-term foreign currency option contracts (asset) — — 2 Long-term foreign currency option contracts (asset) — — 1 Fair value of financial instruments by the valuation hierarchy at September 30, 2016 is as follows (in millions): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Cash and cash equivalents $ 160 $ — $ — Short-term debt — — 14 Long-term debt — 1,040 11 Foreign exchange forward contracts (asset) — 1 — Foreign exchange forward contracts (liability) — 2 — Short-term foreign currency option contracts (asset) — — — Long-term foreign currency option contracts (asset) — — 2 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 consolidated balance sheet for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. No transfers of assets between any of the Levels occurred during these periods.

The carrying value approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The company did not have any cash equivalents at September 30, 2017 or September 30, 2016 . 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 18 months 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 cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the contracts is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the statement of shareholders’ equity and is recognized in operating income when the underlying forecasted transaction impacts earnings. Foreign currency option contracts — The fair value of foreign exchange option contracts is based on third-party proprietary models, which incorporate 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 uses option contracts to mitigate foreign exchange exposure on expected future Indian Rupee-denominated purchases. As of September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the notional amount of the company's Indian rupee foreign exchange contracts outstanding was $172 million and $174 million , respectively. 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. The company uses option contracts to mitigate the risk of volatility in the translation of euro earnings to U.S. dollars. As of September 30, 2017, the notional amount of the company’s euro option contracts outstanding was $58 million . As of September 30, 2016, there were no euro foreign exchange option contracts outstanding. These option contracts did not qualify for a hedge accounting election.

Equity [Abstract] | |
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY | SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY Common Stock The company is authorized to issue 500 million shares of common stock, with a par value of $1 per share, and 30 million shares of Preferred Stock, without par value, of which 2 million shares are designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (Junior Preferred Stock). No shares of Preferred Stock or Junior Preferred Stock have been issued. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, the company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, registering an unlimited amount of debt and/or equity securities that may be offered in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of sale. The company has reserved approximately 13 million shares of common stock in connection with its 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended ("LTIP") for grants of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares, restricted share units and stock awards to key employees and directors. At September 30, 2017 , there were 4.8 million shares available for future grants under the LTIP. Repurchase Authorizations On July 21, 2016, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of the company’s common stock and up to $150 million aggregate principal amount of any of the company’s debt securities (including convertible debt securities), in each case from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, until September 30, 2019, subject to compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and our debt covenants. This repurchase authorization superseded and replaced the January 2015 repurchase authorization described below. There was an insignificant amount of common stock and $100 million in debt security repurchases that were made under these authorizations during fiscal year 2017. In June 2014, the company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $210 million of the company's 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. During fiscal year 2016, the company repurchased 8.7 million shares of common stock for $81 million (including commission costs) and all $55 million outstanding principal amount 4.625% convertible notes at 100 percent of the face value of the notes. In the aggregate, the company repurchased 12.8 million shares of common stock for $136 million (including commission costs), $19 million principal amount of its 4.0 percent convertible notes, and all of the $55 million outstanding principal amount 4.625% convertible notes at 100 percent of the face value of the notes. (see Note 17). The repurchase program under the $210 million authorization was complete as of September 30, 2016. In January 2015, the Offering Committee of the company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $150 million aggregate principal amount of any of the company's debt securities (including convertible debt securities). No repurchases were made under this authorization prior to its replacement with the authorization described above on July 21, 2016. In May 2015, the Offering Committee of the company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $175 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of the company’s 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes, subject to compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and its debt covenants. This repurchase authorization expired on September 30, 2015. During fiscal year 2015, the company repurchased $110 million principal amount at maturity of the company's 7.875 Percent Convertible Notes for $179 million (see Note 17) pursuant to this repurchase authorization.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION | EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION Stock Options Under the company’s incentive plans, stock options are typically granted at prices equal to the fair value on the grant date and have a maximum term of 10 years . Stock options generally vest over a three -year period from the grant date. There were 0.2 million stock options that were exercised in fiscal year 2017. No stock options were granted in fiscal year 2017. No stock options were granted or exercised during fiscal years 2016 and 2015. The following is a rollforward of stock options for fiscal year 2017 (shares in thousands, exercise price and remaining contractual term represent weighted averages and aggregate intrinsic values in millions): Shares Exercise Price Remaining Contractual Life (years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding — beginning of year 233 $ 8.22 Exercised (233 ) 8.22 Cancelled or expired — — Outstanding — end of year — $ — 0.0 — Exercisable — end of year — $ — 0.0 — Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is generally recognized as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. No compensation cost is ultimately recognized for awards for which employees do not render the requisite service and are forfeited. Compensation expense is recognized for the non-vested portion of previously issued stock options. No compensation expense associated with the expensing of stock options was recognized in fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015. There were 0.2 million stock options that were exercised in fiscal year 2017. No options were exercised in fiscal years 2016 and 2015. Restricted Stock and Restricted Share Units The company has granted shares of restricted stock and restricted share units to certain employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors in accordance with the existing plans. The company measures the grant price fair value of these stock-based awards at the market price of the company’s common stock as of the date of the grant. Employee awards typically vest at the end of three years and are subject to continued employment by the employee. Compensation cost associated with stock-based awards is recognized ratably over the vesting period. Cash dividends on the restricted stock, if any, are reinvested in additional shares of common stock during the vesting period. The following is a rollforward of the company’s non-vested restricted stock and restricted share units as of September 30, 2017 , and the activity during fiscal year 2017 is summarized as follows (shares in thousands): Non-vested Shares Number of Shares Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Non-vested - beginning of year 1,232 $ 11.00 Granted 598 13.29 Vested (218 ) 9.30 Forfeited (98 ) 11.73 Non-vested - end of year 1,514 12.10 In fiscal years 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , the company granted 0.6 million , 0.7 million , and 0.5 million shares of restricted stock and restricted share units, respectively. The grant date weighted average fair value of these restricted share units was $13.29 , $9.72 , and $13.91 for shares of restricted stock and restricted share units granted in fiscal years 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The number of non-vested restricted shares and restricted share units as of September 30, 2017 was 1.5 million . The per share weighted average fair value of these non-vested shares was $12.10 . As of September 30, 2017 , there was $9 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested restricted shares and restricted share units. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.03 years. Total compensation expense recognized for restricted stock and restricted share units was $7 million , $5 million and $4 million in fiscal year 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Performance Share Units The company has granted performance share units to all executives eligible to participate in the LTIP. The company measures the grant price fair value of these units-based awards at the market price of the company’s common stock as of the date of the grant. Compensation cost associated with these stock-based awards is recognized ratably over the vesting period. In November 2016, 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 was $12.77 , which was the company’s share price on the grant date of December 1, 2016. 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 was $12.77 , which was the company's share price on the grant date of December 1, 2016. The actual number of performance share units that will vest depends upon the company’s performance relative to the established M2019 goals for the three -year performance period of October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2019, measured at the end of the performance period. The number of performance share units that vest will depend on meeting the established M2019 goals at the following weights: 50% associated with achieving an Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations target, 25% associated with achieving targets for revenue growth above market and 25% associated with achieving a Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA 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 2015, the Board of Directors approved a grant of performance share units to all executives eligible to participate in the LTIP. 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 was $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 was $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 LTIP. 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 was $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 was $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 shares. 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 represented 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 was $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 vested on December 1, 2016 depended 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, which was measured after the end of the performance period. The company's performance resulted in the vesting of the performance share units at 112% of the grant date amounts. The following is a rollforward of the company’s non-vested performance share units as of September 30, 2017 , and the activity during fiscal year 2017 is summarized as follows (shares in thousands): Non-vested Shares Number of Shares Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Non-vested - beginning of year 2,660 $ 9.88 Granted 730 12.30 Vested (1,409 ) 8.29 Forfeited (168 ) 11.51 Non-vested - end of year 1,813 11.93 There were 0.7 million performance share units granted during fiscal 2017 and 1.8 million of non-vested performance shares as of September 30, 2017 . The per share weighted average fair value of the performance share units was $11.93 as of September 30, 2017 . For the years ended September 30, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , compensation cost recognized related to the performance share units was $14 million , $6 million and $8 million , respectively. As of September 30, 2017 , there were $10 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested performance share unit equity compensation arrangements. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.99 years . |

Defined Benefit Plan, Postretirement Medical Plan with Prescription Drug Benefits [Abstract] | |
RETIREMENT MEDICAL PLANS | RETIREMENT MEDICAL PLANS The company has retirement medical plans that cover certain of its U.S. and non-U.S. employees, including certain employees of divested businesses, and provide for medical payments to eligible employees and dependents upon retirement. These plans are unfunded. In fiscal years 2002 and 2004, the company approved amendments to certain retiree medical plans, including health benefits for retirees (and their surviving spouses) who were formerly United Auto Workers (“UAW”) members at ten former Rockwell International (“Rockwell”) plants. Certain of these plan amendments were challenged in lawsuits that were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan ("District Court") alleging the changes breached the terms of various collective bargaining agreements (“CBAs”) entered into by Rockwell and the UAW for facilities that have either been closed or sold and alleging a companion claim under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The two class action lawsuits that were filed in 2004 ( Cole v. ArvinMeritor, et al. and Faust v. ArvinMeritor, et al. ) by the UAW and retirees and surviving spouses claimed that the health benefits were vested for life through the negotiated CBAs. These actions were subsequently consolidated. On December 22, 2005, the District Court issued a preliminary injunction enjoining the company from implementing changes to retiree health benefits and ordered the company to reinstate and resume paying the full cost of health benefits for the UAW retirees at the levels existing prior to the changes made in 2002 and 2004. In 2006, the District Court granted a motion by the UAW for summary judgment and granted the UAW’s request to make the terms of the preliminary injunction permanent (the “injunction”). The company accounted for the injunction as a rescission of the 2002 and 2004 plan amendments and began recording the impact of the injunction in March 2006. In addition, the injunction ordered the defendants to reimburse the plaintiffs for out-of-pocket expenses incurred since the date of the earlier benefit modifications. In 2007, the company appealed the District Court’s order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ("Sixth Circuit"). The Sixth Circuit ruled to affirm the District Court’s ruling, and the company moved for an en banc rehearing. This motion was held in abeyance while the parties attempted to settle the case. In July 2016, the company moved for re-hearing based on a January 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision on the subject matter and a subsequent Sixth Circuit ruling in a separate case on the same subject matter. The court granted the re-hearing, and in April 2017, the Sixth Circuit reversed the District Court’s decision, finding that the retiree medical benefits were not vested for life through the CBAs. The plaintiffs’ appeal to the Sixth Circuit for a rehearing en banc was denied in June 2017. The plaintiffs subsequently filed a motion to stay the Sixth Circuit's mandate pending appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Sixth Circuit denied that motion on July 10, 2017 and issued the mandate the same day. Through the Sixth Circuit's mandate, the case was remanded to the District Court to carry out further proceedings as necessary to comply with the mandate. On July 19, 2017 the company filed a motion with the District Court to dissolve the injunction and enter the judgment in favor of the Defendants. On September 6, 2017, pursuant to the mandate from the Sixth Circuit, the District Court dissolved its 2006 injunction which previously barred the modification of the benefits provided by the Company to the class of United Auto Workers employee retirees. The plaintiffs filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States on September 15, 2017. We cannot predict whether or not the Supreme Court will grant the plaintiffs' petition for certiorari. On September 8, 2017, the Company determined to modify the benefits provided to certain former union employee retirees. Under these modifications, which may be amended at the Company’s discretion at any time, the Company expects to provide (i) each retiree over the age of 65 with a defined contribution of $4,000 annually and (ii) each retiree under the age of 65 with a level of benefits generally equivalent to those currently provided to the Company’s active employees, in each case and as currently contemplated, for a period of seven years. These benefit modifications generated a $315 million prior service credit in September 2017, which will be amortized over the retirees’ average life expectancy, which is currently estimated to be 10 years . The mortality assumptions for participants in the company’s U.S. plans incorporates future mortality improvements from tables published by the Society of Actuaries ("SOA"). In October 2014, the SOA issued new mortality and mortality improvement tables that raised the life expectancies. The company reviewed the new SOA mortality and mortality improvement tables and utilized an actuary to conduct a study based on the company’s plan participants. The company determined that the best representation of the plans' mortality is to utilize the new SOA mortality and mortality improvement tables as the reference table for credibility-weighted mortality rates, blended with company-specific mortality based on the study conducted by the actuary. The company incorporated the updated tables into the 2015 year-end measurement of the plans’ benefit obligations. As a result of this change in actuarial assumption, the company’s U.S. OPEB obligations decreased by $18 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015. The company considers improvement scales released annually by the SOA. These did not have an impact in fiscal years 2017 and 2016. On September 26, 2014, Meritor amended its retiree medical and retiree life insurance plan in the United States to cease retiree medical coverage for salaried and non-union hourly employees under the age of 65 and eliminate retiree life insurance coverage with face amounts ranging from $3,750 to $15,000 . The amendment triggered a curtailment in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 which immediately reduced the retiree medical liability by $16 million (i.e., a curtailment gain) and reduced retiree medical expense by $15 million . The reduction in expense was primarily attributable to the required immediate recognition of negative prior service costs which were previously being amortized into net periodic expense over the active participants remaining average service life. The $16 million reduction to the retiree medical liability established a new negative prior service cost base, which, subsequent to the curtailment, is being amortized over an average expected lifetime of inactive participants of approximately 10 years. The company’s retiree medical obligations were measured as of September 30, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 . The following are the assumptions used in the measurement of the APBO and retiree medical expense: 2017 2016 2015 Discount rate 3.32 % 3.45 % 4.20 % Health care cost trend rate 6.52 % 7.10 % 7.00 % Ultimate health care trend rate 4.65 % 4.75 % 5.00 % Year ultimate rate is reached 2024 2024 2022 The assumptions noted above are used to calculate the APBO for each fiscal year end and retiree medical expense for the subsequent fiscal year. The discount rate is used to calculate the present value of the APBO. This rate is determined based on high-quality fixed income investments that match the duration of expected retiree medical benefits. The company has used the corporate AA/Aa bond rate for this assumption. The health care cost trend rate represents the company’s expected annual rates of change in the cost of health care benefits. The company’s projection for fiscal year 2018 health care cost trend rate is 6.52 percent . The APBO as of the September 30, 2017 and 2016 measurement dates are summarized as follows (in millions): 2017 2016 Retirees $ 104 $ 444 Employees eligible to retire — 1 Total $ 104 $ 445 The following reconciles the change in APBO and the amounts included in the consolidated balance sheet for years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively (in millions): 2017 2016 APBO — beginning of year $ 445 $ 436 Interest cost 14 18 Actuarial loss (gain) (8 ) 27 Plan amendment (315 ) — Benefit payments (1) (32 ) (36 ) APBO — end of year 104 445 Other (2) — 2 Retiree medical liability $ 104 $ 447 (1) Net of subsidies and rebates available under Employer Group Waiver Plan (EGWP). (2) A $2 million reserve for retiree medical liabilities was recorded at September 30, 2016 as the company's best estimate for retroactive benefits related to the previously mentioned injunction. No reserve was required at September 30, 2017 following the dissolution of the injunction. Actuarial losses/(gains) relate to changes in the discount rate and other actuarial assumptions. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 715, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits”, a portion of the actuarial losses is not subject to amortization. The actuarial losses that are subject to amortization are generally amortized over the average lifetime of inactive participants of approximately 10 years . The Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 provides for a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit at least actuarially equivalent to the benefit established by the law. The company provides retiree medical benefits under certain plans that exceed the value of the benefits that are provided by the Medicare Part D plan. Therefore, management concluded that these plans are at least actuarially equivalent to the Medicare Part D plan and the company is eligible for the federal subsidy. In September 2011, in connection with the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, the company converted its current prescription drug program for certain retirees to a group-based, company-sponsored Medicare Part D program, or Employer Group Waiver Plan (EGWP). In September 2012, the company converted certain additional groups of retirees to EGWP and as a result, reduced its APBO by an additional amount of approximately $25 million . In 2013, the company began using the Part D subsidies delivered through EGWP to reduce its net retiree medical costs. As a result of this change in assumption, the company reduced its APBO by approximately $35 million . These reductions to APBO are being amortized over an average expected lifetime of inactive participants of approximately 10 years. The retiree medical liability is included in the consolidated balance sheet as follows (in millions): September 30, 2017 2016 Current — included in compensation and benefits $ 18 $ 33 Long-term — included in retirement benefits 86 414 Retiree medical liability $ 104 $ 447 The following table summarizes the amounts included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss net of tax related to retiree medical liabilities as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 and changes recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) net of tax for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 .

RETIREMENT PENSION PLANS | RETIREMENT PENSION PLANS The company sponsors defined benefit pension plans that cover certain of its U.S. and non-U.S. employees. Pension benefits for salaried employees are based on years of credited service and compensation. Pension benefits for hourly employees are based on years of service and specified benefit amounts. The company’s funding policy provides that annual contributions to the pension trusts will be at least equal to the minimum amounts required by ERISA in the U.S. and the actuarial recommendations or statutory requirements in other countries. The mortality assumptions for participants in the company’s U.S. plans incorporates future mortality improvements from tables published by the SOA. In October 2014, the SOA issued new mortality and mortality improvement tables that raised the life expectancies. The company reviewed the new SOA mortality and mortality improvement tables and utilized an actuary to conduct a study based on the company’s plan participants. The company determined that the best representation of the plans' mortality is to utilize the new SOA mortality and mortality improvement tables as the reference table for credibility-weighted mortality rates, blended with company specific mortality based on the study conducted by the actuary. The company incorporated the updated tables into the 2015 year-end measurement of the plans’ benefit obligations. As a result of this change in actuarial assumption, the company’s U.S. pension obligations increased by $24 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015. The company considers improvement scales released annually by the SOA. These did not have an impact in fiscal years 2017 and 2016. On August 1, 2010, Meritor amended its defined benefit pension plan in the United Kingdom to cease the accrual of future benefits for all of its active plan participants. Subsequent to the freeze date, the company began making contributions to its defined contribution savings plan on behalf of the affected employees. The amount of the savings plan contribution is based on a percentage of the employees’ pay. These changes did not affect then-current retirees. The company began recording the impact of the plan freeze in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. Subsequent to the plan freeze, accumulated actuarial losses are being amortized into net periodic pension expense over the average life expectancy of inactive plan participants of approximately 26 years rather than over their remaining average service life. In April 2007, the company announced a freeze of its defined benefit pension plan for salaried and non-represented employees in the United States, effective January 1, 2008. The change affected approximately 3,800 employees including certain employees who continued to accrue benefits for an additional transition period, ending June 30, 2011. After these freeze dates, the company started making additional contributions to its defined contribution savings plan on behalf of the affected employees. The amount of the savings plan contribution is based on a percentage of the employees’ pay, with the contribution percentage increasing as a function of employees’ age. These changes do not affect plan participants who had retired prior to the freeze dates or represented employees. Accumulated actuarial losses are being amortized into net periodic pension expense over the average life expectancy of inactive plan participants of approximately 18 years. In June 2013, the company amended its U.S. Retirement Plan to allow all terminated vested participants with an accrued benefit of $5,000 or less to receive a full lump-sum distribution of their benefit. The lump-sum amounts were rolled into individual retirement accounts for those participants that had an accrued benefit of $1,000 to $5,000 who did not make an affirmative election to receive their benefits. For those participants with an accrued benefit of less than $1,000 , the benefits were automatically distributed to the participant. Effective October 2014, the company amended the U.S. Retirement Plan to include an additional distribution option in the form of a Lump Sum Benefit from the Plan. The majority of Plan members are eligible for this distribution option following termination or when making their retirement payment election. The Lump Sum Benefit equals the present value of a member's vested accrued benefit paid in one lump sum payment. During fiscal year 2015, the company settled the remaining liabilities associated with its Canadian pension plans through lump-sum payments made from plan assets to plan participants and by purchasing annuity contracts from an insurance company. The company recognized a primarily non-cash pre-tax settlement loss of $16 million associated with the annuity purchases and lump-sum payments. The company settled a net pension obligation of $16 million using $20 million of pension plan assets, such that the assets and liabilities were derecognized from the balance sheet during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Additionally, in fiscal year 2015, the company settled the remaining liabilities associated with its German pension plans by purchasing annuity contracts from an insurance company. The company recognized a primarily non-cash pre-tax settlement loss of $43 million associated with the annuity purchases. The company settled a net pension obligation of $91 million , which was derecognized from the balance sheet during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The company’s pension obligations are generally measured as of September 30, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , while the pension obligations associated with the fourth quarter fiscal year 2015 settled Canadian and German pension plans were measured as of August 31, 2015. The U.S. plans include qualified and non-qualified pension plans. The company’s only significant remaining non-U.S. plan is located in the United Kingdom. The following are the significant assumptions used in the measurement of the projected benefit obligation (PBO) and net periodic pension expense: U.S. Plans 2017 2016 2015 Discount rate 3.70% — 3.75% 3.50% — 3.55% 4.25% — 4.35% Assumed return on plan assets (beginning of the year) 7.75% 7.75% 8.00% Non-U.S. Plans (2) 2017 2016 2015 Discount rate (1) 2.80% 2.50% 1.00% — 3.80% Assumed return on plan assets (beginning of the year) (1) 6.00% 6.00% 2.25% — 7.25% Rate of compensation increase (3) N/A N/A 2.00% (1) The discount rate for the company’s U.K. pension plan was 2.80 percent , 2.50 percent and 3.80 percent for 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The assumed return on plan assets for this plan was 6.00 percent , 6.00 percent and 7.25 percent for 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. (2) In fiscal year 2015, our German and Canadian pension plans were settled. In 2017 and 2016, assumptions presented are for the U.K pension plan, which is the only significant non-U.S. plan remaining. (3) Rate of compensation increase for 2017 and 2016 is not applicable as the U.K. pension plan is frozen. The discount rate is used to calculate the present value of the PBO at the balance sheet date and net periodic pension expense for the subsequent fiscal year. The rate used reflects a rate of return on high-quality fixed income investments that match the duration of expected benefit payments. Generally, the company uses a portfolio of long-term corporate AA/Aa bonds that match the duration of the expected benefit payments, except for the company's U.K. pension plan which uses an annualized yield curve, to establish the discount rate for this assumption. The assumed return on plan assets is used to determine net periodic pension expense. The rate of return assumptions are based on projected long-term market returns for the various asset classes in which the plans are invested, weighted by the target asset allocations. An incremental amount for active plan asset management and diversification, where appropriate, is included in the rate of return assumption. The return assumption is reviewed annually. The rate of compensation increase represents the long-term assumption for expected increases to salaries for pay-related plans. The accompanying disclosures include pension obligations associated with businesses classified as discontinued operations. The following table reconciles the change in the PBO, the change in plan assets and amounts included in the consolidated balance sheet for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively (in millions): 2017 2016 U.S. Non- U.S. Total U.S. Non- U.S. Total PBO — beginning of year $ 1,112 $ 616 $ 1,728 $ 1,042 $ 614 $ 1,656 Service cost — — — — 1 1 Interest cost 38 15 53 45 20 65 Actuarial gain (32 ) (21 ) (53 ) 105 115 220 Prior service cost 1 — 1 — — — Benefit payments (83 ) (30 ) (113 ) (80 ) (35 ) (115 ) Foreign currency rate changes — 19 19 — (99 ) (99 ) PBO — end of year $ 1,036 $ 599 $ 1,635 $ 1,112 $ 616 $ 1,728 Change in plan assets Fair value of assets — beginning of year $ 834 $ 734 $ 1,568 $ 830 $ 717 $ 1,547 Actual return on plan assets 65 1 66 79 169 248 Employer contributions 5 1 6 5 1 6 Benefit payments (83 ) (30 ) (113 ) (80 ) (35 ) (115 ) Foreign currency rate changes — 24 24 — (118 ) (118 ) Fair value of assets — end of year $ 821 $ 730 $ 1,551 $ 834 $ 734 $ 1,568 Funded status $ (215 ) $ 131 $ (84 ) $ (278 ) $ 118 $ (160 ) Amounts included in the consolidated balance sheet at September 30 are comprised of the following (in millions): 2017 2016 U.S. Non-U.S. Total U.S. Non-U.S. Total Non-current assets $ — $ 135 $ 135 $ — $ 123 $ 123 Current liabilities (5 ) — (5 ) (6 ) — (6 ) Retirement benefits-non-current (210 ) (4 ) (214 ) (272 ) (5 ) (277 ) Net amount recognized $ (215 ) $ 131 $ (84 ) $ (278 ) $ 118 $ (160 ) The following tables summarize the amounts included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss net of tax related to pension liabilities as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 and changes recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) net of tax for the year ended September 30, 2017 .

The non-current portion of the pension liability is included in Retirement Benefits in the consolidated balance sheet as follows (in millions): September 30, 2017 2016 Pension liability $ 214 $ 277 Retiree medical liability — long term (see Note 21) 86 414 Other 14 12 Total retirement benefits $ 314 $ 703 In accordance with FASB guidance, the PBO, accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and fair value of plan assets are required to be disclosed for all plans where the ABO is in excess of plan assets. The difference between the PBO and ABO is that the PBO includes projected compensation increases. Additional information is as follows (in millions): 2017 2016 ABO Exceeds Assets Assets Exceed ABO Total ABO Exceeds Assets Assets Exceed ABO Total PBO $ 1,041 $ 594 $ 1,635 $ 1,116 $ 612 $ 1,728 ABO 1,041 594 1,635 1,116 612 1,728 Plan Assets 821 730 1,551 834 734 1,568 The components of net periodic pension expense are as follows (in millions): 2017 2016 2015 Service cost $ — $ 1 $ 2 Interest cost 53 65 70 Assumed rate of return on plan assets (96 ) (99 ) (111 ) Amortization of — Actuarial losses 30 23 26 Settlement loss — — 59 Net periodic pension expense (income) $ (13 ) $ (10 ) $ 46 Disclosures on investment policies and strategies, categories of plan assets, fair value measurements of plan assets, and significant concentrations of risk are included below. Investment Policy and Strategy The company’s primary investment objective for its pension plan assets is to generate a total investment return sufficient to meet present and future benefit payments while minimizing the company’s cash contributions over the life of the plans. In order to accomplish this objective, the company maintains target allocations to identify and manage exposures. The target asset allocation ranges for the U.S. plan are 20 – 50 percent equity investments, 30 – 60 percent fixed income investments and 10 – 25 percent alternative investments. Alternative investments include private equities, real estate, hedge funds, diversified growth funds, and partnership interests. The target asset allocation ranges for the non-U.S. plans are 15 – 35 percent equity investments, 30 – 60 percent fixed income investments, 0 – 10 percent real estate and 10 – 30 percent alternative investments. Investment strategies and policies for the company’s pension plan assets reflect a balance of risk-reducing and return-seeking considerations. The objective of minimizing the volatility of assets relative to liabilities is addressed primarily through asset diversification. Assets are broadly diversified across several asset classes to achieve risk-adjusted returns that accomplish this objective. The majority of pension plan assets are externally managed through active managers. Managers are only permitted to invest within established asset classes and follow the strategies for which they have been appointed. The company uses investment guidelines and reviews asset returns and investment decisions made by the managers to ensure that they are in accordance with the company’s strategies. Concentration of Risk The company seeks to mitigate risks relative to performance of the plan assets. Assets are invested in various classes with different risk and return characteristics in order to ensure that they are sufficient to pay benefits. The company’s investment strategies incorporate a return-seeking approach through equity and alternative investments, while seeking to minimize the volatility of the plans’ assets relative to its liabilities through investments in fixed income securities. The significant areas of risk related to these strategies include equity, interest rate, and operating risk. A portion of plan assets is allocated to equity and alternative investments that are expected, over time, to earn higher returns. Within this return-seeking portfolio, asset diversification is utilized to reduce uncompensated risk. Plan assets are also allocated to fixed income investments, which seek to minimize interest rate risk volatility relative to pension liabilities. The fixed income portfolio partially matches the long-dated nature of the pension liabilities reducing interest rate risk. Interest rate decreases generally increase the value of fixed income assets, partially offsetting the related increase in the liabilities, while interest rate increases generally result in a decline in the value of fixed income assets while reducing the present value of the liabilities. Operating risks consist of the risks of inadequate diversification and weak controls. The company has established policies and procedures in order to mitigate this risk by monitoring investment manager performance, reviewing periodic compliance information, and ensuring that the plans’ managers invest in accordance with the company’s investment strategies. Fair Value of Investments The current FASB guidance provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (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 assets that the Plan has the ability to access. • Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets 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 asset. 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. Following are descriptions, valuation methodologies and other information related to plan assets. Cash and cash equivalents : The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is valued at cost. Equity Securities : The overall equity category includes common and preferred stocks issued by U.S. and international companies as well as equity funds that invest in these instruments. All investments generally allow near-term (within 90 days of the measurement date) liquidity and are held in issues that are actively traded to facilitate transactions at minimum cost. The aggregate equity portfolio is diversified to avoid exposure to any investment strategy, single economic sector, industry group, or individual security. The fair value of equity securities is determined by either direct or indirect quoted market prices. When the value of assets held in separate accounts is not published, the value is based on the underlying holdings, which are primarily direct quoted market prices on regulated financial exchanges. Most of the equity investments allow daily redemptions, with some providing monthly liquidity or requiring a 30-day notice. Fixed Income Securities : The overall fixed income category includes U.S. dollar-denominated and international marketable bonds and convertible debt securities as well as fixed income funds that invest in these instruments. All assets generally allow near-term liquidity and are held in issues which are actively traded to facilitate transactions at minimum cost. The aggregate fixed income portfolio is diversified to avoid exposure to any investment strategy, maturity, issuer or credit quality. The fair value of fixed income securities is determined by either direct or indirect quoted market prices. When the value of assets held in separate accounts is not published, the value is based on the underlying holdings, which are primarily direct quoted market prices on regulated financial exchanges. U.S. fixed income securities typically offer daily liquidity, with only one investment allowing quarterly redemptions. International and emerging fixed income investment vehicles generally provide daily liquidity. Commingled Funds : The fair value of commingled funds is accounted for by a custodian. The custodian obtains valuations from underlying fund managers based on market quotes for the most liquid assets and alternative methods for assets that do not have sufficient trading activity to derive prices. The company and custodian review the methods used by the underlying managers to value the assets. Real Estate : Real estate provides an indirect investment into a diversified and multi-sector portfolio of property assets. The fair value of real estate investments is valued by the fund managers. The fund managers value the real estate investments via independent third-party appraisals on a periodic basis. Assumptions used to revalue the properties are updated every quarter. For the component of the real estate portfolio under development, the investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value, until they are completed and valued by a third-party appraiser. Due to the long-term nature of real estate investments, liquidity is provided on a quarterly basis. Futures Contracts : The plan enters into futures contracts in the normal course of its investing activities to manage market risk and to achieve overall investment portfolio objectives. The credit risk associated with these contracts is minimal as they are traded on organized exchanges and settled daily. The fair value of futures contracts is determined by direct quoted market prices. Cash margin for these futures contracts is included in Cash and Cash Equivalents in the leveling table. Alternatives/Partnerships/Private Equity : This category includes investments in private equity and hedge funds. Such investments may be made directly or through pooled funds, including fund of funds structures. The fair market value of the company’s interest in partnerships and private equity is valued by the fund managers. The valuation is based on the net present value of observable inputs (dividends, cash flows, earnings, etc.), which are discounted at applicable discount rates. The company and custodian review the methods used by the underlying managers to value the assets. Most of these investments offer quarterly redemption opportunities. Some partnerships and private equity investments, due to the nature of their investment strategy and underlying holdings, offer less frequent liquidity. When available, liquidity events are closely evaluated. The valuation methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. The fair value of plan assets at September 30, 2017 by asset category is as follows (in millions): U.S. Plans 2017 Asset Category Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Equity investments U.S. – Large cap $ 54 $ — $ — $ 54 U.S. – Small cap 26 — — 26 Private equity — — 19 19 International equity 37 — — 37 Equity investments measured at net asset value (1) — — — 195 Total equity investments $ 117 $ — $ 19 $ 331 Fixed income investments U.S. fixed income $ 5 $ 213 $ — $ 218 Emerging fixed income — 22 — 22 Partnerships fixed income 14 — — 14 Fixed income investments measured at net asset value (1) — — — 37 Total fixed income $ 19 $ 235 $ — $ 291 Alternatives – Partnerships — — 77 77 Alternatives – Partnerships measured at net asset value (1) — — — 88 Cash and cash equivalents — 34 — 34 Total assets at fair value $ 136 $ 269 $ 96 $ 821 Non-U.S. Plans 2017 Asset Category Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Equity investments International equity $ 168 $ — $ — $ 168 Total equity investments $ 168 $ — $ — $ 168 Fixed income investments Other fixed income investments $ 5 $ 149 $ — $ 154 Fixed income investments measured at net asset value (1) — — — 226 Total fixed income $ 5 $ 149 $ — $ 380 Commingled funds — 5 — 5 Alternative investments measured at net asset value (1) — — — 136 Real estate measured at net asset value (1) — — — 40 Cash and cash equivalents — 1 — 1 Total assets at fair value $ 173 $ 155 $ — $ 730 (1) In accordance with Subtopic 820-10, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the statement of financial position.

The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the statement of financial position. Unfunded Commitment As of September 30, 2017 , the U.S. plan had $13 million of unfunded investment commitments related to plan assets. The majority of this amount is attributed to partnership investments that the plan will invest in gradually over the course of several years. Non-U.S. plans currently do not have any unfunded commitments.

INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES The income tax provisions were calculated based upon the following components of income before income taxes (in millions): 2017 2016 2015 U.S. income $ 252 $ 71 $ 24 Foreign income 129 84 43 Total $ 381 $ 155 $ 67 The components of the benefit (provision) for income taxes are summarized as follows (in millions): 2017 2016 2015 Current tax benefit (expense): U.S. $ (1 ) $ (1 ) $ (4 ) Foreign (11 ) 11 (20 ) State and local (2 ) (1 ) (1 ) Total current tax benefit (expense) (14 ) 9 (25 ) Deferred tax benefit (expense): U.S. (28 ) 394 3 Foreign (9 ) (22 ) 21 State and local (1 ) 43 — Total deferred tax benefit (38 ) 415 24 Income tax benefit (expense) $ (52 ) $ 424 $ (1 ) The deferred tax expense or benefit represents tax effects of current year deductions or items of income that will be recognized in future periods for tax purposes. The deferred income tax expense in the U.S. in fiscal year 2017 was primarily attributable to the tax effect of the gain on sale of equity investment, partially offset by the additional reversal of a valuation allowance. In fiscal year 2016, the U.S. and state and local deferred tax benefit was primarily attributable to the valuation allowance reversal in the U.S. In fiscal year 2015, the foreign deferred tax benefit was primarily attributable to valuation allowance reversals in Germany, Italy, Mexico and Sweden in addition to the tax benefit received from the Canadian and German pension settlement charges. Net current and non-current deferred income tax assets (liabilities) included in the consolidated balance sheet consist of the tax effects of temporary differences related to the following (in millions): September 30, 2017 2016 Accrued compensation and benefits $ 32 $ 21 Accrued product warranties 14 13 Inventory costs 9 8 Receivables 18 15 Accrued retiree healthcare benefits 39 169 Retirement pension plans 92 119 Property 10 7 Loss and credit carryforwards 349 455 Other 71 67 Sub-total 634 874 Less: Valuation allowances (307 ) (379 ) Deferred income taxes - asset $ 327 $ 495 Taxes on undistributed income $ (7 ) $ (7 ) Intangible assets (87 ) (82 ) Debt basis difference (16 ) (5 ) Deferred income taxes - liability $ (110 ) $ (94 ) Net deferred income tax assets $ 217 $ 401 Net non-current deferred income tax assets (liabilities) are included in the consolidated balance sheet as follows (in millions): September 30, 2017 2016 Other assets (see Note 13) $ 229 $ 413 Other liabilities (see Note 16) (12 ) (12 ) Net non-current deferred income taxes — asset $ 217 $ 401 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% -owned subsidiaries in France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, the 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. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017, the Company amended the benefits provided to certain former union employee retirees. This amendment resulted in a decrease to the deferred tax asset. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, as a result of sustained profitability in the U.S. evidenced by a strong earnings history, future forecasted earnings, and additional positive evidence, the company determined it was more likely than not it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the U.S. Accordingly, the company reversed a portion of the valuation allowance in the U.S., resulting in a non-cash income tax benefit of $438 million . In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017, an additional $52 million of the valuation allowance in the U.S. was released due to increased profitability. In fiscal year 2015, the company reversed valuation allowances in Germany, Italy, Mexico, and Sweden, resulting in a non-cash income tax benefit of $16 million . During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, due to a three-year cumulative loss and future economic uncertainty, the company concluded that a valuation allowance was required in Brazil. This resulted in a non-cash charge to income tax expense of $9 million . As of September 30, 2017, the company continues to maintain the valuation allowances in Brazil, France, the U.K. and certain other 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. If, in the future, the company generates taxable income on a sustained basis, its conclusion regarding the need for valuation allowances in these jurisdictions could change. The expiration periods for deferred tax assets related to net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards as of September 30, 2017 are included below (in millions). Also included are the associated valuation allowances on these deferred tax assets (in millions). Fiscal Year Expiration Periods 2018-2022 2023-2032 2033-2037 Indefinite Total Net Operating Losses and Tax Credit Carryforwards $ 8 $ 95 $ 14 $ 232 $ 349 Valuation Allowances on these Deferred Tax Assets $ 7 $ 19 $ 9 $ 215 $ 250 Realization of deferred tax assets representing net operating loss carryforwards for which a valuation allowance has not been provided is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the loss carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of such deferred tax assets will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if the company is unable to generate sufficient future taxable income during the carryforward period. For fiscal years 2017 and 2016 , no provision has been made for U.S., state or additional foreign income taxes related to approximately $599 million and $687 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that have been or are intended to be permanently reinvested. Quantification of the deferred tax liability, if any, associated with permanently reinvested earnings is not practicable. The company’s provision for income taxes was different from the provision for income taxes calculated at the U.S. statutory rate for the reasons set forth below (in millions): 2017 2016 2015 Expense for income taxes at statutory tax rate of 35% $ (133 ) $ (54 ) $ (23 ) State and local income taxes (14 ) (7 ) (1 ) Foreign income taxed at rates other than 35% 9 5 7 Joint venture equity income 7 3 3 Tax effect of nonfunctional currency transaction (2 ) (30 ) — Correlated tax relief 7 51 — U.S. tax impact on distributions from subsidiaries and joint ventures (8 ) 14 (11 ) Nondeductible expenses (10 ) (12 ) (9 ) Tax credits 14 61 — Valuation allowances 56 418 49 Tax rate change — (14 ) — Impact of capital loss 15 — — Other 7 (11 ) (16 ) Income tax benefit (expense) $ (52 ) $ 424 $ (1 ) In fiscal year 2016, the company determined it is now more favorable to claim a U.S. foreign tax credit rather than deduct foreign taxes paid, and as a result, a $11 million and $61 million income tax benefit was recorded in fiscal year 2017 and 2016, respectively. Additionally, the company has recorded a U.S. tax benefit related to U.S. research and development tax credits of $3 million in fiscal year 2017. The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits the company recorded in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 as of September 30, 2017 was $269 million , of which $226 million represents the amount that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. A reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning and end of the period is as follows (in millions): 2017 2016 2015 Balance at beginning of the period $ 243 $ 207 $ 209 Additions to tax positions recorded during the current year — 39 15 Additions to tax positions recorded during the prior year 26 — — Reductions to tax position recorded in prior years — — (2 ) Reductions to tax positions due to lapse of statutory limits (2 ) (3 ) (11 ) Translation, other 2 — (4 ) Balance at end of the period $ 269 $ 243 $ 207 The company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statement of operations. At September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , the company recorded assets of $9 million and $4 million , respectively of interest on uncertain tax positions in the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, penalties of $1 million and $2 million were recorded as of September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , respectively. The income tax benefit related to interest was $5 million and $8 million for the year ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. The income tax benefit amount related to interest was immaterial for the year ended September 30, 2015. The income tax benefit related to penalties was immaterial for years ended September 30, 2017 , 2016 and 2015. The company files tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The company’s Canadian federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2013 and 2014 are currently under audit. The company's German subsidiary is currently under audit for fiscal years 2008 through 2013. The company's Indian subsidiary is currently under audit for fiscal year 2015. In addition, the company is under audit in the U.S. for federal, fiscal years 2010 and 2011, along with various state tax jurisdictions for various years. It is reasonably possible that audit settlements, the conclusion of current examinations or the expiration of the statute of limitations in several jurisdictions could change the company’s unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months. It is not possible to reasonably estimate the expected change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit in the next twelve months. In addition to the audits listed above, the company has open tax years primarily from 2001-2016 with various significant taxing jurisdictions, including the U.S., Brazil, Canada, China, France, Mexico and the U.K. These open years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, timing or inclusion of revenue and expenses or the sustainability of income tax credits for a given audit cycle. The company has recorded a tax benefit only for those positions that meet the more-likely-than-not standard. |

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 September 30, 2017 to be approximately $4 million , of which $2 million is 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. Environmental remediation costs recorded with respect to the Superfund were not substantial in fiscal years 2017 , 2016 and 2015 . 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 September 30, 2017 to be approximately $19 million , of which $7 million is probable and recorded as a liability. During each of the fiscal years 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , the company recorded environmental remediation costs of $3 million with respect to these matters, resulting from revised estimates to remediate these sites. 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 1.0 to 3.0 percent and is approximately $6 million at September 30, 2017 . The undiscounted estimate of these costs is approximately $7 million . The following are the components of the Superfund and non-Superfund environmental reserves (in millions): Superfund Sites Non-Superfund Sites Total Balance at September 30, 2016 $ 2 $ 11 $ 13 Payments and other — (7 ) (7 ) Accruals — 3 3 Balance at September 30, 2017 $ 2 $ 7 $ 9 There were $3 million , $ 3 million , and $2 million of environmental remediation costs recognized in other operating expense in the consolidated statement of operations in fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Environmental reserves are included in Other Current Liabilities (see Note 15) and Other Liabilities (see Note 16) in the 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. In April 2016, the company was served with several complaints filed against the company and other defendants in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi. The complaints were amended in July 2016. These complaints allege damages, including diminution of property value, concealment/fraud and emotional distress resulting from alleged environmental pollution in and around a neighborhood in Grenada, Mississippi. Rockwell owned and operated a facility near the neighborhood from 1965 to 1985. The company filed answers to the complaints in July 2016. In May 2017, the company was served with a complaint filed against the company and other defendants by the Mississippi Attorney General in the Chancery Court of Grenada County, Mississippi. The complaint alleges that operations at the above-referenced Grenada facility caused contamination of off-site groundwater and surface waters. Subsequently, the company removed this action to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi; plaintiffs have moved to have the case remanded to Chancery Court. The company intends to defend itself vigorously against these claims. The company believes at this time that liabilities associated with this case, while possible, are not probable and estimable, and therefore has not recorded any accrual for them as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 . Further, a reasonably possible range of loss cannot be estimated at this time. 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 2,800 and 5,800 pending asbestos-related claims at September 30, 2017 and 2016 , 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): September 30, 2017 2016 Pending and future claims $ 68 $ 70 Billed but unpaid claims 2 2 Asbestos-related liabilities $ 70 $ 72 Asbestos-related insurance recoveries $ 25 $ 32 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 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. 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, 2017, 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 $68 million to $82 million . After consultation with Bates White, Maremont recognized a liability for pending and future claims over the next ten years of $68 million and $70 million as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 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. Maremont recognized $5 million and $2 million of expense in fiscal years 2017 and 2016, respectively, associated with its annual valuation of asbestos-related liabilities and receivables. 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. 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 2027; • 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; • 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 historically had insurance that reimburses a substantial portion of the costs incurred defending against asbestos-related claims. The expected insurance receivable related to future asbestos-related liabilities was $25 million and $32 million as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, 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. Maremont maintained insurance coverage with other insurance carriers that management believed also provided coverage for 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. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, the dispute related to these insurance policies was settled. As part of this settlement, on December 12, 2015, Maremont received $17 million in cash, 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. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, Maremont recognized an additional $9 million of the cash settlement proceeds as a reduction in asbestos expense. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, the company recognized the remaining $3 million of the cash settlement proceeds as a reduction in asbestos expense. The settlement also provides additional recovery for Maremont if certain future defense and indemnity 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 firm, jurisdiction and disease; 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 1,600 and 3,200 pending active asbestos claims in lawsuits that name AM, together with many other companies, as defendants at September 30, 2017 and 2016, 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): September 30, 2017 2016 Pending and future claims $ 63 $ 60 Billed but unpaid claims 2 1 Asbestos-related liabilities $ 65 $ 61 Asbestos-related insurance recoveries $ 38 $ 27 Pending and Future Claims : The company 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. As of September 30, 2017, 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 $63 million to $74 million . After consultation with Bates White, management recognized a liability for pending and future claims over the next ten years of $63 million as of September 30, 2017 compared to $60 million as of September 30, 2016. 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. The increase in the estimated liability is primarily due to higher settlement values, compared to the prior year. AM recognized $1 million of income in fiscal year 2017 and a $2 million charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, associated with its annual valuation of asbestos-related liabilities and receivables. 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 2027; • 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 declines 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; • 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: Rockwell has insurance coverage that management believes covers indemnity and defense costs, over and above self-insurance retentions, for a significant portion of these claims. In 2004, the company initiated litigation against certain of these carriers to enforce the insurance policies. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, the company executed settlement agreements with two of these carriers, thereby resolving the litigation against those particular carriers. Pursuant to the terms of one of those settlement agreements, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 the company received $32 million in cash from an insurer, of which $10 million was recognized as a reduction in asbestos expense, and $22 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 ultimately incurred. During fiscal year 2017, Rockwell recognized an additional $10 million of the cash settlement proceeds as a reduction in asbestos expense. Pursuant to the terms of a second settlement agreement, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 the company recorded a $12 million receivable to reflect expected reimbursement of future defense and indemnity payments under a coverage-in-place arrangement with that insurer. In addition to the coverage provided from the settlement agreements executed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, the company maintains a receivable of $7 million related to a previously executed coverage-in-place arrangement with other insurers. The insurance receivables for Rockwell’s asbestos-related liabilities totaled $38 million and $27 million as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Included in these amounts are insurance receivables of $17 million and $9 million as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which are associated with policies in dispute and have been fully reserved for. Also, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, the company reached a settlement, relating to certain proofs of claim filed by the company under certain insurance policies, with an insolvent insurer for $5.5 million (the "allowed claim"). On June 17, 2016, the company entered into an assignment of claim (the "Assignment”) with Macquarie Bank to assign the allowed claim the company had against the insolvent insurer. The Assignment was approved by the liquidator, which resulted in the company receiving $3 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016. 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 Rockwell could change significantly from its past experience, due, for example, to changes in the mix of claims filed against Rockwell in terms of plaintiffs’ law firm, jurisdiction and disease; legislative or regulatory developments; Rockwell’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 claims, the cost to resolve claims and the amount of available insurance prove to be incorrect, the actual amount of liability for Rockwell 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 September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , the remaining estimated liability for this matter was approximately $10 million and $11 million , respectively. On January 3, 2011, the company completed the sale of its Body Systems business. The sale agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants of the seller and the purchaser. The agreement also includes provisions governing post-closing indemnities between the seller and the purchaser for losses arising from specified events. At September 30, 2014, the company had an accrual of $6 million for such indemnities, of which $2 million was for a contingency-related income tax matter, which was included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, the company settled all remaining matters related to the Body Systems business and recorded a net gain, after tax in discontinued operations of $6 million . In connection with the sale of its interest in MSSC in October 2009, the company provided certain indemnifications 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 September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was approximately $1 million , and is included in other liabilities in the 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 The company identified certain sales transactions for which value-added tax may have been required to be remitted to certain tax jurisdictions for tax years 2010 through 2017. At both September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , the company’s estimate of the probable liability was $12 million and $10 million , respectively. On June 24, 2014, the company filed a complaint in the Circuit Court for Oakland County, Michigan against a supplier alleging that certain bearings supplied by the supplier for TL Trailer Axles were faulty, and as a result, the company suffered product liability damages and expenses with respect to vehicle recalls. On May 13, 2016, the company entered into a settlement agreement with the supplier pursuant to which the company received approximately $6 million and was recognized as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016. The settlement does not relieve the company of its current liability for past or future claims related to TL Axles. The company has the right to seek future indemnification from the supplier with respect to any currently unasserted claims. On July 5, 2017, the company's subsidiary, Meritor Heavy Vehicle Systems, LLC, fully and finally resolved all claims with respect to its various legal proceedings with Sistemas Automotrices de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“Sisamex”), its Mexican joint venture with Quimmco, S.A. de C.V. ("Quimmco"), that were originally filed in 2014 in the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois regarding Sisamex’s rights to manufacture certain products and the components thereof for sale in Mexico. The parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement and release pursuant to which the parties agreed to dismiss, with prejudice, all of the legal proceedings between them, and Meritor agreed to pay Quimmco a settlement of $10 million , which the company paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017. In addition, various lawsuits, claims and proceedings, other than those specifically disclosed in the 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. |

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 September 30, 2017, as follows: • The Commercial Truck & Industrial segment supplies drivetrain systems and components, including axles, drivelines, brakes 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, primarily in North America and Europe. This segment also supplies a wide variety of undercarriage products and systems for trailer applications in North America. Segment adjusted 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, asset impairment charges and other special items as determined by management. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes unallocated legacy and corporate income (expense), net. The company uses Segment adjusted 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 adjusted 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.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions were used to review goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairment (see Notes 5 and 12), costs associated with the company’s restructuring actions (see Note 6), product warranty liabilities (see Note 15), long-term incentive compensation plan obligations (see Note 20), retiree medical and pension obligations (see Notes 21 and 22), income taxes (see Note 23), and contingencies including asbestos (see Note 24). |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk In the normal course of business, the company provides credit to customers. The company limits its credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintaining reserves for potential credit losses and through accounts receivable factoring programs. The company’s accounts receivables are generally due from medium- and heavy-duty truck OEMs, specialty vehicle manufacturers, aftermarket customers, and trailer producers. |
Consolidation and Joint Ventures | Consolidation and Joint Ventures The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and those subsidiaries in which the company has control. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations of controlled subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements and are offset by a related noncontrolling interest recorded for the noncontrolling partners’ ownership. Investments in affiliates that are not controlled or majority-owned are reported using the equity method of accounting (see Note 14). |
Foreign Currency | Foreign Currency Local currencies are generally considered the functional currencies for operations outside the U.S. For operations reporting in local currencies, assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates with cumulative currency translation adjustments included as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the consolidated balance sheet. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate a possible impairment. An impairment loss is recognized when a long-lived asset’s carrying value exceeds the fair value. Long-lived assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. |
Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations A business component that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale is reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The results of discontinued operations are aggregated and presented separately in the consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of cash flows (see Note 3). |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized upon shipment of product and transfer of ownership to the customer. Provisions for customer sales allowances and incentives are recorded as a reduction of sales at the time of product shipment. |
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts An allowance for uncollectible trade receivables is recorded when accounts are deemed uncollectible based on consideration of write-off history, aging analysis, and any specific, known troubled accounts. |
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. |
Other | Other Other significant accounting policies are included in the related notes, specifically, goodwill (Note 5), inventories (Note 10), property and depreciation (Note 12), capitalized software (Note 13), product warranties (Note 15), financial instruments (Note 18), equity based compensation (Note 20), retirement medical plans (Note 21), retirement pension plans (Note 22), income taxes (Note 23) and environmental and asbestos-related liabilities (Note 24). |
Accounting Standards Implemented and to be Implemented | Accounting standards to be implemented In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendment changes the recognition and presentation requirements of hedge accounting including: eliminating the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness; and presenting all items that affect earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The guidance also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. This standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is allowed at any time after the issuance of the ASU including in an interim period. If adopted at a period other than the beginning of a fiscal year, cumulative effect adjustments are reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year. Changes to income statement classification and financial statement disclosures are applied prospectively from the date of adoption. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. ASU 2017-09 amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements and provides guidance on when an entity would be required to apply modification accounting. This standard is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 affects entities who own investments in callable debt securities and aligns the amortization period of premiums on callable debt securities to expectations incorporated in market pricing on the underlying securities. This standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in this update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effective adjustment directly to retained earnings at the beginning of the adoption period. The company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from adoption of this guidance. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The new guidance requires entities to only include the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in operating expenses (together with other employee compensation costs). The other components of net benefit cost, including amortization of prior service cost/credit, are to be included in a separate line item(s) outside of any sub-total of operating income. ASU 2017-07 also provides guidance that only the service cost component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization. This standard is effective for public business entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The revisions in this amendment are to be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets. ASU 2017-05 provides guidance which defines an “in substance nonfinancial asset”; unifies guidance related to partial sales of nonfinancial assets; eliminates rules specifically addressing sales of real estate; removes exceptions to the financial asset derecognition model; and clarifies the accounting for contributions of nonfinancial assets to joint ventures. The effective date and the transition requirements for the amendments in ASU 2017-05 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606, described below. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new guidance eliminates the need to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure a goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. The revised guidance will be applied prospectively, and is effective for calendar year-end SEC filers in 2020. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the company's consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The ASU provides clarification on the definition of a business and adds guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. To be considered a business under the new guidance, it must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. The amendment removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and will be applied prospectively. The potential impact of this new guidance will be assessed for future acquisitions or dispositions, but it is not expected to have a material impact on the company's consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests held through Related Parties that are under Common Control, which alters how a decision maker needs to consider indirect interests in a variable interest entity (VIE) held through an entity under common control. Under the ASU, if a decision maker is required to evaluate whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it will need to consider only its proportionate indirect interest in the VIE held through a common control party. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect a material impact upon adoption. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory. The ASU was issued to remove the prohibition in ASC 740 against the immediate recognition of the current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted however the guidance can only be adopted in the first interim period of a fiscal year. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU was issued to reduce differences in practice with respect to how specific transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The update provides guidance on the following eight types of transactions: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investments, beneficial interests in securitization transactions and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The ASU introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including accounts receivable. The ASU also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The amendments in this update are required to be adopted by public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its accounting policies and its consolidated financial statements. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The ASU clarifies the assessment of the likelihood that revenue will be collected from a contract, the guidance for presenting sales taxes and similar taxes, and the timing for measuring customer payments that are not in cash. The ASU also establishes a practical expedient for contract modifications at the transition. The amendments in this update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, which is not effective yet. The effective date and the transition requirements for the amendments in ASU 2016-12 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in ASU 2014-09 as described below. Therefore, the company plans to implement this standard in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018 in connection with its planned implementation of ASU 2014-09 and is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its accounting policies and its consolidated financial statements. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting (SEC Update). The ASU was issued to remove from the Codification certain SEC staff guidance that the SEC staff stated would be rescinded: Revenue and Expense Recognition for Freight Services in Process; Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs; and Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products). The amendments in this update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, which is not effective yet. The effective date and the transition requirements for the amendments in ASU 2016-11 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in ASU 2014-09 as described below. Therefore, the company plans to implement this standard in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018 in connection with its planned implementation of ASU 2014-09 and is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In April, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The ASU provides guidance regarding the identification of performance and licensing obligations. The amendments in this update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, which is not effective yet. The effective date and the transition requirements for the amendments in ASU 2016-10 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in ASU 2014-09 as described below. Therefore, the company plans to implement this standard in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018 in connection with its planned implementation of ASU 2014-09 and is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU intends to simplify how share-based payments are accounted for, including accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The standard is required to be adopted by public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The company is assessing the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) to clarify certain aspects of the principal-versus-agent guidance in its new revenue recognition standard. The amendments in this update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in ASU 2016-08 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09. Therefore, the company plans to implement this standard in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018 in connection with its planned implementation of ASU 2014-09. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting. The ASU will eliminate the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. The standard is required to be adopted by public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from adoption of this guidance. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. The ASU clarifies that an exercise contingency itself does not need to be evaluated to determine whether it is in an embedded derivative, just the underlying option. The standard is required to be adopted by public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from adoption of this guidance. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships. The update clarifies that a change in a counterparty to a derivative instrument designated as a hedging instrument would not require the entity to dedesignate the hedging relationship and discontinue the application of hedge accounting. The standard is required to be adopted by public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim years within those fiscal periods. Early adoption is permitted. The company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from adoption of this guidance. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The update will require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for substantially all leases. The standard is required to be adopted by public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The company plans to implement this standard in the first quarter of the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2019 and is currently assessing the potential impact of this new guidance on its accounting policies and its consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued 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 fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from adoption of this guidance. 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 fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements from adoption of this guidance. 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 fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal periods. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year making it effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal periods, 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 expects to adopt the standard on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative adjustment to equity. The company continues to evaluate the potential impact of this new guidance on its on its accounting policies and its consolidated financial statements. Accounting standards implemented during fiscal year 2017 In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-03 which amended Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) to state that registrants should consider additional qualitative disclosures if the impact of an issued but not yet adopted ASU is unknown or cannot be reasonably estimated and to include a description of the effect of the accounting policies that the registrant expects to apply, if determined. Transition guidance included in certain issued but not yet adopted ASUs was updated to reflect this amendment. The company adopted this standard in fiscal year 2017. 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 annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The company adopted this standard in fiscal year 2017 and determined there is not substantial doubt relating to the company's ability to continue as a going concern, and footnote disclosure is not applicable. 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 periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal periods and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The company adopted this standard prospectively in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. This guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
Inventories | Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using FIFO or average methods) or market (determined on the basis of estimated realizable values) |
Net Property | Property is stated at cost. Depreciation of property is based on estimated useful lives, generally using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives for buildings and improvements range from 10 to 50 years and estimated useful lives for machinery and equipment range from 3 to 20 years. Significant improvements are capitalized, and disposed or replaced property is written off. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the period they are incurred. Company-owned tooling is classified as property and depreciated over the shorter of its expected life or the life of the production contract, generally not to exceed three years . In accordance with the FASB guidance on property, plant and equipment, the company reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, to be held and used, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate a possible impairment. An impairment loss is recognized when a long-lived asset’s carrying value is not recoverable and exceeds estimated fair value. |
Product Warranty | The company records estimated product warranty costs at the time of shipment of products to customers. Warranty reserves are primarily based on factors that include past claims experience, sales history, product manufacturing and engineering changes and industry developments. Liabilities for product recall campaigns are recorded at the time the company’s obligation is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Policy repair actions to maintain customer relationship are recorded as other liabilities at the time an obligation is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Product warranties, including recall campaigns, not expected to be paid within one year are recorded as a non-current liability. |
Environmental | 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. |
