Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Dec. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

	Principles of Consolidation

	The Consolidated Financial Statements include all domestic and foreign subsidiaries that were more than 50% owned and controlled as of each respective reporting period presented. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Investments in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investments in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence over are accounted for under the cost method of accounting.

	Use of Estimates

	These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”). The preparation of financial statements that conform to GAAP in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

	Concentration of Credit Risk

	The primary type of financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are trade accounts receivable. The Company limits its credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, when deemed necessary, requires letters of credit, guarantees or collateral. The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from replacement parts wholesalers and retailers serving the aftermarket.

	The Company’s net sales to its largest customer as a percentage of total net sales from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, was 23%, 22% and 23%, respectively. Net sales represent the amounts invoiced to customers after adjustments related to rebates, returns and discounts. The Company provides reserves for rebates, returns and discounts at the time of sale which are subsequently applied to the account of specific customers based upon actual activity including the attainment of targeted volumes. The Company’s largest customer’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, represented approximately 17% and 11%, respectively, of the total accounts receivable.

	Foreign Currency Translation

	Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date and equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are presented in Change in foreign currency translation adjustments within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

	Included in net income (loss) are the gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions. The impact on income from continuing operations before income tax provision, equity in income (loss), net of tax and noncontrolling interest of foreign currency transactions including the results of the Company’s foreign currency hedging activities amounted to a loss of $13 million, loss of $6 million and a gain of $2 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.



	Cash and Cash Equivalents

	Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

	Restricted Cash

	Restricted cash at December 31, 2014 relates to amounts on deposit in Venezuela to fund the procurement of U.S. Dollars via currency exchange auctions administered by the Venezuelan government.

	Accounts receivable

	The Company records trade accounts receivable when revenue is recorded in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy and relieves accounts receivable when payments are received from customers.

	Allowance for doubtful accounts

	The allowance for doubtful accounts is established through charges to the provision for bad debts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The evaluation includes historical trends in collections and write-offs, management’s judgment of the probability of collecting accounts, and management’s evaluation of business risk. The allowance is an estimate that may be impacted by economic and market conditions which could have an effect on future allowance requirements and results of operations.

	Inventories

	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method of inventory costing for all domestic inventories and at the Company’s Poland operations, or average cost basis for other non-U.S. inventories.

	Goodwill

	Goodwill is not amortized, but instead the Company evaluates goodwill for impairment, as of December 31 of each year, unless conditions arise that would require a more frequent evaluation. In assessing the recoverability of goodwill, the Company performs a qualitative or quantitative assessment to test for impairment annually. If the Company determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that a quantitative impairment test is required estimated future cash flows and other factors are made to determine the fair value of the respective reporting unit. If these estimates or related projections change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for goodwill at that time.

	Intangibles

	Affinia has trade names with indefinite lives and other intangibles with definite lives. Affinia tests trade names for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31 of each year, unless conditions arise that would require a more frequent evaluation. Trade names are tested for impairment by comparing the fair value to their carrying values.

	The Company’s intangibles with definite lives consist of customer relationships, patents and developed technology. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 20 years. Certain conditions may arise that could result in a change in useful lives or require the Company to perform a valuation to determine if the definite lived intangibles are impaired.

	Deferred Financing Costs

	Deferred financing costs are incurred to obtain long-term financing and are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt. The amortization of deferred financing costs is classified in interest expense in the statement of operations.



	Depreciation

	Fixed assets are depreciated over their estimated remaining lives using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated depreciation methods for federal income tax purposes. Major additions and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, and repairs and maintenance are charged to expense in the period incurred. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment and generally accepted accounting principles require recognition of an impairment loss only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows. If the long-lived asset is not recoverable, the Company measures an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.

Useful lives for buildings and building improvements, machinery and equipment, tooling and office equipment, furniture and fixtures principally range from 20 to 30 years, five to ten years, three to five years and three to ten years, respectively. Upon retirement or other disposal of fixed assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts, respectively. The difference, if any, between the net asset value and the proceeds is recorded as a gain or loss on disposition.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recognized when products are shipped or received, depending on the contractual terms, and risk of loss has transferred to the customer. The Company estimates and records provisions for warranty costs, sales returns, rebates and other allowances based on experience and other relevant factors, when sales are recognized. The Company assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty, sales returns, rebates and allowances liabilities on a regular basis and adjusts the recorded amounts as necessary. While management believes that these estimates are reasonable, actual warranty costs, actual returns, rebates and allowances may differ from estimates. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in sales and the costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of sales.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recognized during the period in which transactions enter into the determination of financial statement income, with deferred income taxes being provided for the tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred income taxes are provided on the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and affiliated companies except to the extent such earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested in the subsidiary or affiliate. In cases where foreign tax credits will not offset U.S. income taxes, amounts are included in the Income tax provision within Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Financial Instruments

The reported fair values of financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and long-term debt, are based on a variety of factors. Where available, fair values represent quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on assumptions concerning the implied market volatilities, amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates reflecting varying degrees of credit and market risk. Fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could be realized as of the balance sheet date or that will be realized in the future. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the book value of some of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable, approximated their fair values. The fair value of long-term debt is discussed further in Note 6 Debt.

Environmental Compliance and Remediation

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to existing conditions caused by past operations which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Estimated costs are based upon current laws and regulations, existing technology and the most probable method of remediation. The costs are not discounted and exclude the effects of inflation. If the cost estimates result in a range of equally probable amounts, the lower end of the range is accrued.



Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations at the time advertising when incurred. Advertising expenses included in continuing operations were $20 million, $19 million and $20 million for the years 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The advertising expenses included in discontinued operations, were nil, $2 million and $7 million for the years 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

Promotional Programs

Cooperative advertising programs conducted with customers that promote the Company’s products are accrued as a rebate based on anticipated total amounts to be rebated to customers over the period of the agreement with the customer. Rebates are reflected in Net sales within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Aftermarket distributors typically source their product lines at a particular price point and product category with one “full-line” supplier, such as Affinia, which covers substantially all of their product requirements. Switching to a new supplier typically requires that a distributor or supplier make a substantial investment to purchase, or “changeover” to, the new supplier’s products. The changeover costs and other incentives incurred in connection with obtaining new business are recognized as selling expense in the period in which the changeover from a competitor’s product to the Company’s product occurs. Infrequently, the Company enters into a contract with a customer for a set period of time that requires the reimbursement of the incentive by the customer if the future conditions of the contract are not met. In these infrequent cases the incentive is recorded as a reduction of revenue over the life of the contract.

Insurance

The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance for a number of risks, including workers’ compensation, general liability, vehicle liability and the Company-funded portion of employee-related health care benefits. Liabilities associated with these risks are estimated in part by considering historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions.

Research and Development Costs

The Company charges research and development expenses, relating to the development of new products or the improvements or redesign of its existing products, to expense when incurred. The Company incurred less than $1 million for each of the years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012. These costs are recognized in Cost of sales within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Derivatives

The Company is subject to various financial risks during the normal course of business operations, including but not limited to, adverse changes to interest rates, currency exchange rates, counterparty creditworthiness, and commodity prices. The Company may utilize financial derivative instruments in order to mitigate the potential impact of these factors. The Company’s policies strictly prohibit the use of derivatives for speculative purposes.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage the risk that changes in interest rates will have on the amount of future interest payments. Interest rate swap contracts are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable versus fixed interest rates. Under these agreements, the Company agrees to pay an amount equal to a specified fixed rate times a notional principal amount, and to receive an amount equal to a specified variable rate times the same notional principal amount or vice versa. The notional amounts of the contract are not exchanged. No other cash payments are made unless the contract is terminated prior to maturity, in which case the amount paid or received in settlement is established by agreement at the time of termination and will represent the net present value, at current rates of interest, of the remaining obligation to exchange payments under the terms of the contract. The Company measures hedge effectiveness, at least quarterly, by using the hypothetical derivative method.

The Company’s derivative instrument portfolio includes standard forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps. Beginning in 2014, the Company began utilizing forward currency contracts that are intended to offset foreign exchange risk for certain forecasted gross receivable and payable balances. These contracts qualify for, and the Company has elected to apply, hedge accounting treatment under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). In accordance with ASC 815, gains or losses on outstanding hedges are recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and reclassified into net income in the same period during which the hedged transaction impacts net income. Prior to entering into the forward currency contracts in 2014, the Company entered into currency forward contract that were intended to offset the earnings impact related to the periodic revaluation of specific non-functional currency denominated monetary working capital accounts and intercompany financing arrangements. The Company did not elect hedge accounting treatment for these currency forward contacts because the earnings impact from both the underlying exposures and the hedge transactions were recognized in earnings each accounting period. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage the ratio of net floating-rate debt to total debt outstanding, thereby reducing the potential impact that interest rate variability may have on its consolidated financial results. The Company has designated its interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity awards issued under its 2005 Stock Plan in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). See Note 13 for additional information.



Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company established a deferred compensation plan in 2008 that permitted executives to defer receipt of all or a portion of the amounts payable under the non-equity incentive compensation plan. All amounts deferred were treated solely for purposes of the plan to have been notionally invested in the common stock of Holdings. As such, the accounts under the plan will reflect investment gains and losses associated with an investment in Holdings’ common stock. The Company matched 25% of the deferral with an additional notional investment in common stock of Holdings, which is subject to vesting as provided in the plan.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.”ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of this standard has not had any impact on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 amends the definition of a discontinued operation in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20 and requires entities to provide additional disclosures about discontinued operations as well as disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The FASB issued the ASU to provide more decision-useful information and to make it more difficult for a disposal transaction to qualify as a discontinued operation. In addition, the ASU requires entities to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods in the statement of financial position, as well as significant changes to the presentation requirements within the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale before the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this ASU could have a significant impact on the financial statement presentation associated with any disposal transactions that may occur in the future.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this new ASU will have on its revenue recognition upon adoption.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

	The Company has two operating segments, Filtration and Affinia South America (“ASA”), which are considered reportable segments under ASC 280 “Segment Reporting.” Operating segments are determined based on information used by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and evaluate the performance of the Company’s businesses. Management evaluates the performance of its operating segments based primarily on revenue growth and operating profit. Although not considered an operating segment, corporate, eliminations and other includes corporate costs, interest expense and other amounts not allocated to the operating segments.

	The Filtration segment is the Company’s largest business unit, having contributed approximately 70% of global revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

	In the fourth quarter of 2013, management committed to a plan to sell the Chassis group. Pursuant to ASC Topic 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements,” the Chassis group met the definition of a disposal group at the time management committed to a plan to sell the group and, accordingly, the results of operations of the Chassis group have been classified as a component of discontinued operations. On January 21, 2014, Affinia entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended, with Federal-Mogul Chassis, LLC (formerly known as VCS Quest Acquisition LLC) (“FM Chassis”), an affiliate of Federal-Mogul Corporation, pursuant to which FM Chassis agreed to purchase the Chassis group. This transaction closed on May 1, 2014. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows were not adjusted to reflect this group as a discontinued operation for any period presented.

	Upon the closing of this transaction in May 2014, Affinia received cash proceeds of $140 million, which represented the agreed upon selling price of $150 million less a holdback of $10 million until completion of certain post-closing performance obligations. In September 2014, the post-closing performance obligations were completed and the Company received $9 million of cash proceeds with the remaining $1 million allocated to a post-closing purchase price adjustment. There are no additional material obligations of either party associated with this transaction.

	The sale of the Chassis group resulted in a pre-tax gain of $32 million, of which $21 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2014 and $11 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2014. These amounts are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations within the Income from discontinued operations, net of tax. The Company released an $18 million capital loss valuation allowance as a result of the sale, the tax benefit of which offset the tax expense incurred by the gain on the sale. This resulted in a tax expense of $6 million on the transaction.

	In addition to the gain on the sale discussed above, the following table shows the Chassis group’s net sales, income before income tax provision and net income that are included within Income from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

	Affinia and FM Chassis entered into a transition services agreement (“TSA”) effective with the sale on May 1, 2014. The TSA provides for certain administrative and other services and support to be provided by Affinia to FM Chassis and to be provided by FM Chassis to Affinia. Most of the transition services expired in 2014 or will expire in 2015. The TSA was established as an arm’s length transaction and is intended for the contracting parties to recover costs of the services provided.

	In the fourth quarter of 2011, management committed to a plan to sell the Brake North America and Asia group at which time the Brake North America and Asia group qualified as a discontinued operation. The Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect this group as a discontinued operation. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented were not adjusted to reflect this group as a discontinued operation.

	On November 30, 2012, the Company distributed its Brake North America and Asia group to the shareholders of Holdings, the Company’s parent company and sole stockholder. The new organization is led by the management team from the Company’s former Brake North America and Asia group, with oversight provided by a separate board of directors. On March 25, 2013, the new organization announced that it had been acquired by a group of investors.

	To effect the transaction, the Company distributed 100% of the capital stock of BPI Holdings International, Inc. (“BPI”), an entity formed for the purpose of completing the transaction and which owns the assets and operations comprising the Company’s former Brake North America and Asia group, to Holdings. Thereafter, Holdings distributed such capital stock to the holders of Holdings common stock and to the holders of Holding’s 9.5% Class A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”), on a pro rata basis as if each of the shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at the time of the distribution had been converted into Holdings common stock in accordance with its terms prior to the distribution. The fair value of the capital stock distributed to the shareholders of Holdings was $63 million. In addition, noncontrolling interest decreased by $13 million due to the distribution of BPI.

	In connection with the distribution, the Company received a $70 million cash dividend from BPI, which BPI funded through $76.5 million in borrowings under a new credit facility that is not guaranteed by, or an obligation of, the Company or any of its subsidiaries. BPI held $11 million in cash that was included in the distribution on November 30, 2012.

	Affinia and BPI entered into a TSA effective with the distribution on November 30, 2012. The TSA provides for certain administrative and other services and support to be provided by Affinia to BPI and to be provided by BPI to Affinia. Most of the transition services expired during 2014. The TSAs and the distribution services were established as arm length transactions and are intended for the contracting parties to recover costs of the services.

	On the date of the distribution, the Company no longer had any influence over BPI. The Company evaluated all potential variable interests between Affinia and BPI and determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of BPI. Consequently, the Company deconsolidated BPI on the date of the distribution.

	The table below summarizes the Brake North America and Asia group’s net sales, loss before income tax provision, income tax provision, income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, net of tax and loss attributable to the discontinued operations.

The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Carter Automotive Company Inc. (“Carter”) on June 28, 2012, pursuant to which Carter purchased certain assets located at the Company’s Juarez, Mexico facility, which is included in the Brake North America and Asia group, for $3 million. The transaction resulted in an impairment and loss on sale of $6 million on fixed assets and inventory for the second quarter of 2012.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives

5. DERIVATIVES

The Company’s financial derivative assets and liabilities consist of standard currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

•

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

•

Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

•

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

All derivative instruments are recognized on the Company’s balance sheet at fair value. The fair value measurements of the Company’s currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps are based upon Level 2 inputs consisting of observable market data, as reported by a recognized independent third-party financial information provider. Based upon the Company’s periodic assessment of its own creditworthiness, and of the creditworthiness of the counterparties to its derivative instruments, fair value measurements are not adjusted for nonperformance risk.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”):

Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).

Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

The Company’s fair value of interest rate swaps and its currency forward contract derivatives at December 31, 2014 and 2013 are set forth in the table below:

Currency Forward Contract Derivatives

Our currency forward contracts are valued using then-current spot and forward market data as provided by external financial institutions. The Company enters into currency forward contracts with banking institutions of only the highest tiered credit ratings and thus the counterparty credit risk associated with these contracts is not considered significant.

The Company enters into short-term currency forward contracts which are intended to offset the currency exchange gain (loss) related to the re-measurement process and are not designated as hedges of specific monetary asset balances subject to currency risks. Therefore, any changes in the fair value of these short-term currency forward contracts are recognized in earnings each accounting period. The aggregate notional amount of outstanding short-term currency forward contracts was $34 million and $86 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Losses of less than $1 million were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2014, gains of $1 million were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2013, and gains of $2 million were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Additionally, beginning in the third quarter of 2014, the Company entered into currency forward contracts which are intended to offset against foreign exchange risk for certain forecasted gross receivable and payable balances. These currency forward contracts are considered highly effective based on critical terms matching and the result of de minimis testing. Therefore, the gains or losses of these hedges are deferred as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”) and reclassified into net income in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects net income. The aggregate notional amount of outstanding currency forward contracts was $36 million as of December 31, 2014. The gains recorded were less than $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Company’s outstanding currency forward contracts are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either Other current assets or Other accrued expenses, depending on whether the contracts are in asset or liability positions at the end of each reporting period. Currency forward contract gains and losses are recognized in Other income and expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the reporting period of occurrence.

Interest Rate Derivatives

In April 2013, the Company entered into interest rate swaps having an aggregate notional value of $300 million to effectively fix the rate of interest on a portion of the Company’s Term Loan B-2 until April 25, 2020. The Company funds its business operations with a combination of fixed and floating-rate debt. Therefore, the Company’s reported results from operations may be adversely impacted by rising interest rates. The Company’s interest rate risk policy seeks to minimize the long-term cost of debt, subject to a limitation of the maximum percentage of net floating-rate debt versus total debt outstanding.

While the Company’s policy does not require that it maintain a specific ratio of net floating-rate debt as a proportion of total debt outstanding, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage the ratio of net floating-rate debt to total debt outstanding within the Company’s policy target range, thereby reducing the potential impact that interest rate variability may have on its consolidated financial results. The Company’s policy prohibits the use of interest rate derivatives to generate trading profits or to otherwise speculate on interest rate movements.

The Company has designated its interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges as described in ASC 815. At the inception of the hedge, the Company formally documents its hedge relationships and risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking the hedge. In addition, the documentation identifies the interest rate swaps as a hedge of specific interest payments on variable rate debt, with the objective to perfectly offset the variability of interest expense as related to specific floating-rate debt. The Company also specifies that the effectiveness of the interest rate swaps in mitigating interest expense variability shall be assessed using the Hypothetical Derivative Method as described in ASC 815.

The interest rate swaps are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Other current assets or Other accrued expenses, accordingly. In compliance with ASC 815, the Company formally assesses the effectiveness of its interest rate swaps at inception and on a quarterly basis thereafter. These assessments have established that swaps have been, and are expected to continue to be, highly effective at offsetting the interest expense variability of the underlying floating rate debt and are therefore eligible for cash flow hedge accounting treatment, pursuant to ASC 815.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded to Other comprehensive income (loss), to the extent such cash flow hedges are effective. Amounts are reclassified from Other comprehensive income (loss) when the underlying hedged items are recognized, during the period that a hedge transaction is terminated, or whenever a portion of the hedge transaction results are deemed ineffective. The Company reclassified $2 million from Other comprehensive income (loss) into interest expense in both 2014 and 2013. There have been no gains or losses reclassified from Other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness related to any of the Company’s interest rate swap transactions, nor were there gains or losses reclassified to income due to early termination of designated cash-flow hedge transactions as of December 31, 2014 or 2013. The notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding was $300 million as of both December 31, 2014 and 2013.

-1	The fair value of the long-term debt was estimated based on quoted market prices obtained through broker or pricing services and categorized within Level 2 of the hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s debt that is publicly traded in the secondary market is classified as Level 2 and is based on current market yields obtained through broker or pricing services.
-2	The carrying value of fixed rate short-term debt approximates fair value because of the short term nature of these instruments, and the carrying value of the Company’s current floating rate debt instruments approximates fair value because of the variable interest rates pertaining to those instruments. The fair value of debt is categorized within Level 2 of the hierarchy.

As discussed further in Note 4, in May 2014, the Company closed the sale of the Chassis group. In conjunction with the closing of the sale, cash proceeds of $149 million were received. With the proceeds and cash from operations, the Company paid down $24 million of Term Loan B-1 and $85 million of Term Loan B-2. Additionally, it made a $66 million distribution to Holdings. Holdings used all of the distribution to partially repay the note issued by Holdings to Dana Corporation (“Dana”) as part of the financing in connection with the acquisition in 2004 of substantially all of the aftermarket business operations of Dana (the “Seller Note.”)

ABL Revolver

The Company replaced the Old ABL Revolver with a new ABL Revolver on April 25, 2013. The ABL Revolver comprises a revolving credit facility of up to $175 million for borrowings available solely to the U.S. domestic borrowers, including (i) a $30 million sub-limit for letters of credit and (ii) a $15 million swingline facility. Availability under the ABL Revolver is based upon monthly (or more frequent under certain circumstances) borrowing base valuations of the Company’s eligible inventory and accounts receivable, among other things, and is reduced by certain reserves in effect from time to time.

At December 31, 2014, there were no outstanding borrowings under the ABL Revolver. The Company had an additional $72 million of availability after giving effect to $7 million in outstanding letters of credit and less than $1 million for borrowing base reserves as of December 31, 2014.

On February 4, 2014, Affinia entered into (i) the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement dated as of February 4, 2014 (the “Term Loan Amendment”), among Affinia, Holdings, JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA, as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto and (ii) the First Amendment to the ABL Credit Agreement dated as of February 4, 2014 (the “ABL Amendment”), among Affinia, Holdings, certain subsidiaries party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A, as administrative agent. The Term Loan Amendment and the ABL Amendment are referred to herein collectively as the “Amendments.”

The Amendments, among other things, amend certain negative covenants to permit the sale of the Chassis group and to permit certain restricted payments and loans and advances to Holdings. The Term Loan Amendment also amends certain prepayment terms in connection with the Chassis sale.

Maturity. The ABL Revolver is scheduled to mature on April 25, 2018.

Guarantees and collateral. The indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under the ABL Revolver are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis by the Company and certain of its current and future U.S. subsidiaries, and are secured, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions and exclusions, by a first-priority lien on accounts receivable, inventory, cash, deposit accounts, securities accounts and proceeds of the foregoing and certain assets related thereto and a second-priority lien on the collateral that secures the Term Loans on a first-priority basis.

Mandatory prepayments. If at any time the outstanding borrowings under the ABL Revolver (including outstanding letters of credit and swingline loans) exceed the lesser of (i) the borrowing base as in effect at such time and (ii) the aggregate revolving commitments as in effect at such time, the borrowers will be required to prepay an amount equal to such excess and/or cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit.



Voluntary prepayments. Subject to certain conditions, the ABL Revolver allows the borrowers to voluntarily reduce the amount of the revolving commitments and to prepay the loans without premium or penalty other than customary breakage costs for LIBOR rate contracts.

Interest rates and fees. Outstanding borrowings under the ABL Revolver accrue interest at an annual rate of interest equal to (i) a base rate plus the applicable spread, as set forth below or (ii) a LIBOR rate plus the applicable spread, as set forth below. Swingline loans bear interest at a base rate plus the applicable spread. The Company will pay a commission on letters of credit issued under the New ABL Revolver at a rate equal to the applicable spread for loans based upon the LIBOR rate.



Level		Average				Base Rate Loans and				LIBOR Loans
		Aggregate				Swingline Loans
		Availability
I			<$ 50,000,000				1	%			2	%
II			>$ 50,000,000				0.75	%			1.75	%

			but <

			$ 100,000,000
III			>$ 100,000,000				0.5	%			1.5	%

The Company will pay certain fees with respect to the ABL Revolver, including (i) an unused commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the credit facility of 0.25% per annum in the event that more than 50% of the commitments (excluding swingline loans) under the credit facility are utilized, and 0.375% per annum in the event that less than or equal to 50% of the commitments (excluding swingline loans) under the credit facility are utilized and (ii) customary annual administration fees and fronting fees in respect of letters of credit equal to 0.125% per annum on the stated amount of each letter of credit outstanding during each fiscal quarter. During an event of default, all loans and other obligations under the ABL Revolver may bear interest at a rate 2.00% in excess of the otherwise applicable rate of interest.

Cash Dominion. Commencing on the day that an event of default occurs or availability under the ABL Revolver is less than the greater of 12.5% of the total borrowing base and $12.5 million and continuing until no event of default has existed and availability has been greater than such thresholds at all times for 60 consecutive days, amounts in the Company’s deposit accounts and the deposit accounts of the guarantors (other than certain excluded accounts) will be transferred daily into a blocked account held by the administrative agent and applied to reduce the outstanding amounts under the ABL Revolver.

Covenants. The ABL Revolver contains negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to: create liens and encumbrances; incur additional indebtedness; merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate; make acquisitions, investments, advances or loans; dispose of or transfer assets; pay dividends or make other payments in respect of their capital stock; amend certain material governance documents; change the nature of the business of the borrowers and their subsidiaries; redeem or repurchase capital stock or prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; change the borrowers’ fiscal periods; and enter into certain restrictive agreements. The ABL Revolver also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including a change of control.

In addition, commencing on the day that an event of default occurs or availability under the ABL Revolver is less than the greater of 10% of the total borrowing base and $10 million and continuing until no event of default has existed and availability under the ABL Revolver has been greater than such thresholds at all times, in each case, for 30 consecutive days, the Company would be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0x measured for the last 12-month period. The fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.90 as of December 31, 2014. If none of the covenant triggers have occurred, the impact of falling below the fixed charge coverage ratio would not be a default but instead would limit the Company’s ability to pursue certain operational or financial transactions (e.g. acquisitions).

Indenture

Senior Notes. On April 25, 2013, Affinia Group Inc. issued $250 million of Senior Notes as part of the refinancing. The Senior Notes accrue interest at the rate of 7.75% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The Senior Notes will mature on May 1, 2021. The terms of the Indenture provide that, among other things, the Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment to all of the Company’s and all of Affinia Group Inc.’s 100% owned current and future domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) existing and future senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s and Guarantors’ existing and future subordinated debt. The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities and obligations of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are effectively junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ secured indebtedness, including the Term Loans and the ABL Revolver, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The outstanding balance of the Senior Notes at December 31, 2014 was $250 million.



Guarantees. The Guarantors guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Notes on a senior unsecured basis.

Interest Rate. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 7.75% per annum. Interest on the Notes is payable in cash semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on November 1, 2013.

Other Covenants. The Indenture contains affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the Company’s ability (as well as those of the Company’s subsidiaries) to: incur additional debt; provide guarantees and issue mandatorily redeemable preferred stock; pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments including the prepayment of certain indebtedness; enter into agreements that restrict distributions from restricted subsidiaries; sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; enter into transactions with affiliates; create or incur liens; and merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of its assets.

Events of Default. The Indenture provides for customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), which include nonpayment, breach of covenants in the Indenture, payment defaults or acceleration of other indebtedness, failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and other monetary obligations on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Term Loan Facility

On April 25, 2013, the Company entered into (i) a Term Loan B-1 in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million and (ii) a Term Loan B-2 in an aggregate principal amount of $470 million. The Term Loan B-1 was offered at a price of 99.75%, of their face value, resulting in approximately $199 million of net proceeds for the Term Loan B-1. The Term Loan B-2 was offered at a price of 99.50%, of their face value, resulting in approximately $468 million of net proceeds for the Term Loan B-2. The $1 million and $2 million original issue discount for the Term Loan B-1 and Term Loan B-2, respectively, will be amortized based on the effective interest rate method and included in interest expense until the Term Loans mature. The Term Loan B-1 amortizes in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum, with the balance due on April 25, 2016. The Term Loan B-2 amortizes in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum, with the balance due on April 25, 2020. As of December 31, 2014, $175 million principal amount of Term Loan B-1 was outstanding, net of a $1 million issue discount which is being amortized until the Term Loan B-1 matures and $367 million principal amount of Term Loan B-2 was outstanding, net of a $2 million issue discount which is being amortized until the Term Loan B-2 matures.

Guarantees and collateral. The indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under the Term Loan Facility are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis by the Company and certain of its current and future U.S. subsidiaries, and are secured, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions and exclusions, by a first-priority lien on substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the borrower and each guarantor (including (i) a perfected pledge of all of the capital stock of the borrower and each direct, wholly-owned material subsidiary held by the borrower or any guarantor (subject to certain limitations with respect to foreign subsidiaries) and (ii) perfected security interests in, and mortgages on, equipment, general intangibles, investment property, intellectual property, material fee-owned real property, intercompany notes and proceeds of the foregoing) except for certain excluded assets and the collateral securing the ABL Revolver on a first priority basis, and a second-priority lien on the collateral securing the ABL Revolver on a first-priority basis.

Mandatory prepayments. The Term Loan Facility requires the following amounts to be applied to prepay the Term Loans, subject to certain thresholds, exceptions and reinvestment rights: 100% of the net proceeds from the incurrence of indebtedness (other than permitted indebtedness), 100% of the net proceeds of certain asset sales (including insurance or condemnation proceeds), other than the collateral securing the ABL Revolver on a first-priority basis, and 50% of excess cash flow with stepdowns to 25% and 0% based on certain leverage targets.

Mandatory prepayments will be allocated ratably between Term Loan B-1 and Term Loan B-2 and, within each, will be applied to reduce remaining amortization payments in the direct order of maturity for the immediately succeeding eight quarters and, thereafter, pro rata.

Voluntary Prepayments. The Company may voluntarily prepay outstanding Term Loans in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty (other than a 1.00% premium payable until, in the case of the Term Loan B-1, six months following April 25, 2013 and, in the case of the Term Loan B-2, one year following April 25, 2013, on (i) the amount of loans prepaid or refinanced with proceeds of long-term bank debt financing or any other financing similar to such borrowings having a lower effective yield or (ii) the amount of loans the terms of which are amended to the same effect), subject to payment of customary breakage costs in the case of LIBOR rate loans. Optional prepayments of the Term Loans will be applied to the remaining installments thereof at the direction of the Company.



Interest Rates. Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility accrue interest at an annual rate of interest equal to (i) a base rate plus the applicable spread or (ii) a LIBOR rate plus the applicable spread. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Loan B-1 is 1.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 2.75% with respect to LIBOR rate borrowings, and the applicable margin for borrowing under the Term Loan B-2 is 2.50% with respect to base rate borrowings and 3.50% with respect to LIBOR rate borrowings. The LIBOR rate is subject to a floor of 0.75% per annum with respect to Term Loan B-1 and 1.25% per annum with respect to Term Loan B-2. Overdue principal with respect to the Term Loans will bear interest at a rate 2.00% in excess of the otherwise applicable rate of interest and other overdue amounts with respect to the Term Loans will bear interest at a rate of 2.00% in excess of the rate applicable to base rate borrowings.

Covenants. The Term Loan Facility contains negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to create liens and encumbrances; incur additional indebtedness; merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate; make acquisitions, investments, advances or loans; dispose of or transfer assets; pay dividends or make other payments in respect of their capital stock; amend certain material governance documents; change the nature of the business of the borrower and its subsidiaries; redeem or repurchase capital stock or prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; change the borrower’s fiscal periods; and enter into certain restrictive agreements. The Term Loan Facility also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including a change of control.

Deferred Financing

During the second quarter of 2013, Affinia recorded a write-off of $5 million to interest expense for unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the redemption of its Secured Notes and Subordinated Notes. Affinia also recorded during the second quarter of 2013 a write-off of $3 million to interest expense for the replacement of its Old ABL Revolver with a new ABL Revolver. In addition, Affinia recorded $14 million in total deferred financing costs related to the issuance of its Senior Notes and Term Loans as part of the refinancing and $1 million in total deferred financing costs associated with the ABL Revolver. The unamortized deferred financing costs will be charged to interest expense over the next eight years for the Senior Notes, seven years for Term Loan B-2, five years for the ABL Revolver and three years for Term Loan B-1.

	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the FIFO method of inventory costing for all domestic inventories and at the Company’s Poland operations or average cost basis for other non-U.S. inventories. Inventories are reduced by an allowance for slow-moving and obsolete inventories based on management’s review of on-hand inventories compared to historical and estimated future sales and usage. A summary of inventories, net is provided in the table below:

Commitments and Contingencies	8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

	At December 31, 2014, the Company had purchase commitments for property, plant and equipment of approximately $3 million.

	The Company had future minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases in continuing operations of $40 million at December 31, 2014, with future rental payments of:

	2018		5
	2019		5
	Thereafter		8

	Total	$	40


	The leases do not contain restrictions on future borrowings. There are no significant lease escalation clauses or purchase options. Rent expense from continuing operations was $11 million, $10 million and $9 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	Various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings are pending or threatened against the Company and its subsidiaries, arising from the ordinary course of business with respect to commercial, intellectual property, product liability and environmental matters. Affinia believes that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

	The Company has various accruals for civil liability, including product liability, and other costs. If there is a range of equally probable outcomes, Affinia accrues at the lower end of the range. The Company had $2 million and $13 million accrued as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These amounts are reflected in “other accrued expenses” within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease in the amount accrued is due to a payment of $11 million made during the first quarter of 2014 in full settlement of the Neovia Logistics Services (U.K.) Limited claim. On January 28, 2013, Walker Morris, counsel for Neovia (formerly known as Caterpillar Logistics Services (U.K.) Limited) notified Affinia that Quinton Hazell Automotive Limited (“QHAL”) intended to appoint administrators (comparable to a bankruptcy filing in the United States) and that Neovia may pursue a claim against Affinia for liabilities arising out of a Logistics Services Agreement dated May 5, 2006 among Neovia, QHAL and Affinia (the “LSA”). In connection with the Company’s prior sale of QHAL and its related companies to Klarius Group Ltd. (“KGL”), Affinia assigned the LSA to KGL, KGL agreed to indemnify Affinia against any liability under the LSA and the other companies in the QHAL group agreed to provide a guarantee to Affinia against these liabilities. KGL and QHAL have both appointed administrators. By letter dated February 15, 2013, Neovia, through its counsel Walker Morris, notified the Company that Neovia is asserting a claim against Affinia for liabilities arising under the LSA, including asserted unpaid invoices totaling 5.7 million pounds. On March 28, 2013, Affinia was served with a demand for arbitration by Neovia. In the first quarter of 2014, Affinia settled the claim. The Company had accrued $10 million during 2013 associated with this claim. There are no recoveries expected from third parties associated with outstanding or settled claims.

	In addition, the Company has various other claims that are reasonably possible of occurrence for which Affinia’s maximum exposure to loss is estimated at $15 million. There are currently no reserves associated with these claims.

	As previously disclosed, the Company has conducted a review of certain allegations arising in connection with business operations involving its subsidiaries in Poland and Ukraine. The allegations raise issues involving potential improper payments in connection with governmental approvals, permits, or other regulatory areas and possible conflicts of interest. The Company’s review, which the Company considers to be substantially complete, has been supervised by the Audit Committee of Affinia’s Board of Directors and has been conducted with the assistance of outside professionals. Affinia voluntarily self-reported on these matters to the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and has cooperated fully with the government. No determination may yet be made as to whether, in connection with the circumstances surrounding the review, Affinia may become subject to any fines, penalties and/or other charges imposed by any governmental authority, or any other damages or costs that may arise in connection with those circumstances.

Valuation allowances are provided for deferred tax assets whenever the realization of the assets is not deemed to meet a more likely than not standard. Accordingly, valuation allowances have been provided for net operating losses and other loss carryforwards in certain non-U.S. countries and U.S. states. In addition there are valuation allowances provided on certain U.S. credit carryforwards. U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes have not been recognized on the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries that are essentially permanent in duration. This amount becomes taxable upon a repatriation of assets from the subsidiary or a sale or liquidation of the subsidiary. The amount of such temporary differences totaled $51 million at December 31, 2014. Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred income tax liability on this temporary difference is not practicable.

The effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate for the following reasons:




		Year Ended				Year Ended				Year Ended

Miscellaneous items			—				—				-0.8

Effective income tax rate			26	%			76.9	%			76.5	%




-1	The U.S. Permanent Differences affecting the tax rate were primarily the result of deemed distributions from foreign subsidiaries.
-2	The 2013 tax rate was negatively impacted by the recognition of an uncertain tax position resulting from an unfavorable ruling impacting the Company’s international operations.

At the end of 2014, federal domestic net operating loss carryforwards were $304 million. Of these, $8 million expire in 2024, $12 million expire in 2025, $36 million expire in 2026, $33 million expire in 2027, $74 million expire in 2028, $60 million expire in 2029, $31 million expire in 2030, $20 million expire in 2031, $10 million expire in 2032 and $20 million expire in 2034. At the end of 2014, state domestic net operating loss carryforwards were estimated to be $245 million, the majority of which expire between 2024 and 2034. At the end of 2014, foreign net operating loss carryforwards were $13 million and expire as follows: $1 million in 2015, $4 million in 2016, $3 million in 2017, $2 million in 2018 and $1 million in 2019, $1 million in 2021 and $1 million with no expiration date. Realization of the tax benefits associated with loss carryforwards is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits:

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2014, is $1 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties as part of the income tax provision. As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s accrual for interest and penalties is less than $1 million, and its accrual for income tax expense is $1 million. The decrease in 2014 is attributable to a recent ruling impacting the Company’s international operations.



The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. For jurisdictions in which the Company transacts significant business, tax years ending December 31, 2004 and later remain subject to examination by tax authorities. The Company does not anticipate any material change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to occur within the next twelve months.

	Affinia has agreements with third party financial institutions to factor certain receivables on a non-recourse basis. The terms of the factoring arrangements provide for the factoring of certain U.S. Dollar-denominated or Canadian Dollar-denominated receivables, which are purchased at the face value amount of the receivable discounted at the annual rate of LIBOR plus a spread on the purchase date. The amount factored is not contractually defined by the factoring arrangements and Affinia’s use varies each month based on the amount of underlying receivables and the cash flow needs of the Company.

	Goodwill as of December 31, 2014 was $3 million, which relates to the Filtration segment. At December 31, 2013, Affinia had $22 million of goodwill related to its Chassis group, which is recorded in current assets of discontinued operations.

	In accordance with ASC Topic 805-740, the tax benefit for the excess of tax-deductible goodwill over the reported amount of goodwill was applied to first reduce the goodwill related to the initial acquisition in 2004. The tax benefit for the excess of tax deductible goodwill reduced reported goodwill by $4 million during 2012. The reported amount of goodwill for the 2004 acquisition was reduced to zero, and the remaining tax benefit will reduce the basis of intangible assets purchased in the 2004 acquisition. Any remaining tax benefit reduces the income tax provision. For further information see Note 12. Other Intangible Assets.

	The following table summarizes Affinia’s goodwill activity, which is related to its Filtration segment and its Chassis group, during 2013 and 2014:

Other Intangible Assets	12. OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

	As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Affinia’s other intangible assets primarily consisted of trade names, customer relationships, and developed technology. Affinia recorded less than $1 million, $3 million and $6 million of intangible asset amortization in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which includes $1 million and $2 million for 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to discontinued operations. The discontinued operations for the Chassis group and Brake North America and Asia group ceased amortization in 2013 and at the end of 2012, respectively, because the groups were classified in current assets of discontinued operations. The Company anticipates amortization of less than $1 million for 2015 through 2020 on a continuing basis. Amortization expense is calculated on a straight line basis over 5 to 20 years.



	For the goodwill and intangible assets associated with the 2004 acquisition, in accordance with ASC Topic 805-740, the tax benefit for the excess of tax-deductible goodwill over the reported amount of goodwill was applied to first reduce the goodwill related to the acquisition to zero. The reported amount of goodwill for the 2004 acquisition was reduced to zero in 2013 and the remaining tax benefit will be applied to reduce the basis of intangible assets purchased in the 2004 acquisition. The tax benefit for the excess of tax deductible goodwill reduced intangible assets by approximately $6 million and $4 million during 2014 and 2013, respectively.

	Trade names are tested for impairment annually as of December 31 of each year by comparing their fair value to their carrying values. The fair value for each trade name was established based upon a royalty savings approach. Affinia determined that there were impairments of other intangible assets of less than $1 million in 2013. A rollforward of the other intangibles and trade names for 2013 and 2014 is shown below:

Stock Incentive Plan	13. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

	On July 20, 2005, Holdings adopted the Affinia Group Holdings Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, (the “2005 Stock Plan” or the “Plan”). The 2005 Stock Plan permits the grant of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other stock-based awards to employees, directors or consultants of Holdings and its affiliates. A maximum of 350,000 shares of Holdings common stock may be subject to award under the 2005 Stock Plan, as amended. The number of shares issued or reserved pursuant to the 2005 Stock Plan (or pursuant to outstanding awards) is subject to adjustment as a result of mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, stock splits, stock dividends and other dilutive changes in the common stock. Shares of common stock covered by awards that terminate or lapse and shares delivered by a participant or withheld to pay the minimum statutory withholding rate, in each case, will subsequently be available for grant under the 2005 Stock Plan.

	Administration. The 2005 Stock Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of Holdings’ Board of Directors. The Committee has authority to establish the terms and conditions of any award, as well as to waive any such terms and conditions at any time (including, without limitation, accelerating or waiving any vesting conditions or payment dates). The Committee is authorized to interpret the 2005 Stock Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and to make any other determinations that it, in good faith, deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan and may delegate such authority as it deems appropriate. The Committee may correct any defect or supply an omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the 2005 Stock Plan in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable and any decision of the committee in the interpretation and administration of the Plan shall lie within its sole and absolute good faith discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned.

	Options. The Committee determines the option price for each option; however, the stock options must have an exercise price that is at least equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. An option holder may exercise an option by written notice and payment of the option price (i) in cash or its equivalent, (ii) by the surrender of a number of shares of common stock already owned by the option holder for at least six months (or such other period established by the committee) with a fair market value equal to the exercise price, (iii) if there is a public market for the shares, subject to rules established by the committee, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell shares obtained upon the exercise of the option and to deliver to Holdings an amount out of the proceeds of the sale equal to the aggregate option price for the shares being purchased or (iv) by another method approved by the committee.



	Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may grant stock appreciation rights independent of or in connection with an option. The exercise price per share of a stock appreciation right shall be an amount determined by the Committee. Generally, each stock appreciation right shall entitle a participant upon exercise to an amount equal to (i) the excess of (1) the fair market value on the exercise date of one share of common stock over (2) the exercise price, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of common stock covered by the stock appreciation right. Payment shall be made in common stock or in cash, or partly in common stock and partly in cash, as determined by the Committee.

	Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may grant awards of RSU rights to purchase stock, restricted stock and other awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on the fair market value of, shares of common stock. The other stock-based awards will be subject to the terms and conditions established by the Committee.

	Transferability. Unless otherwise determined by the committee, awards granted under the 2005 Stock Plan are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

	Change of Control. In the event of a change of control (as defined in the 2005 Stock Plan), the Committee may provide for (i) the termination of an award upon the consummation of the change of control, but only if the award has vested and been paid out or the participant has been permitted to exercise an option in full for a period of not less than 30 days prior to the change of control, (ii) the acceleration of all or any portion of an award, (iii) payment in exchange for the cancellation of an award and/or (iv) the issuance of substitute awards that would substantially preserve the terms of any awards.

	Amendment and Termination. Holdings’ Board of Directors may amend, alter or discontinue the 2005 Stock Plan in any respect at any time, but no amendment may diminish any of the rights of a participant under any awards previously granted, without his or her consent.

	Management Stockholders Agreement. All shares issued under the plan will be subject to a management stockholders agreement or a director stockholders agreement, as applicable.

	Restrictive Covenant Agreement. Unless otherwise determined by Holdings’ Board of Directors, all award recipients will be obligated to sign the standard Confidentiality, Non-Competition and Proprietary Information Agreement which includes restrictive covenants regarding confidentiality, proprietary information and a one year period restricting competition and solicitation of the Company’s clients, customers or employees. In the event a participant breaches these restrictive covenants, any exercise of, or payment or delivery pursuant to, an award may be rescinded by the committee in its discretion in which event the participant may be required to pay to the Company the amount of any gain realized in connection with, or as a result of, the rescinded exercise, payment or delivery.

	2005 Stock Plan

	On July 20, 2005, Holdings adopted the 2005 Stock Plan with a maximum of 227,000 shares of common stock subject to awards. On August 25, 2010, Holdings increased the number of shares of common stock subject to awards from 227,000 to 300,000. On December 2, 2010, Holdings increased the number of shares of common stock subject to awards from 300,000 to 350,000.

	Stock Options

	As of December 31, 2014, 22,568 stock options had been awarded, with 19,568 vested stock options still outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the 2005 Stock Plan, each option expires on August 1, 2015. The exercise price was $100 per share, but was reduced to $62.87 per share in 2013.

	Stock options are accounted for under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes model to measure stock-based compensation expense at the date of grant. The fair value of the stock option grants is expensed over the vesting period. The Company reduces the overall compensation expense by a turnover rate consistent with historical trends. There were no stock options granted or stock-based compensation expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 or 2014.

	A rollforward of outstanding stock options for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 is as follows:



			Options
	Outstanding at January 1, 2012			26,860
	Forfeited/expired			(4,845	)

	Outstanding at December 31, 2012			23,835

Restricted Stock Units

The RSUs are governed by the 2005 Stock Plan, with the terms and conditions of vesting established by the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement.

In November 2014, the Compensation Committee of Holdings Board of Directors awarded 54,009 new awards and approved the modification of certain outstanding RSU awards. At the time of modification, there were 201,977 RSUs outstanding, of which 117,231 were subject to modification. In connection with the award modification, the previously issued RSUs were cancelled and, concurrently, new RSU awards were granted to each holder, with each holder receiving the same number of awards held immediately prior to the cancellation of the previous awards. The remaining 84,746 RSUs were not modified and remained outstanding under the same terms and conditions in effect prior to November 2014.

Prior to the modification and new awards, all but 10,593 of the then outstanding RSUs were subject to vesting provisions that were entirely performance and market based. Pursuant to the vesting conditions of the pre-modification awards, the RSUs would vest if (i) the RSU holder remains employed with Holdings on the date that either of the following vesting conditions occurs and (ii) either of the following vesting conditions occurs on or prior to the date on which Cypress ceases to hold any remaining Holdings common stock:


	•		Cypress Scenario—Cypress has received aggregate transaction proceeds in cash or marketable securities (not subject to escrow, lock-up, trading restrictions or claw-back) with respect to the disposition of more than 50% of its common equity interests in Holdings in an amount that represents a per-share equivalent value that is greater than or equal to two times the average per share price paid by Cypress for its aggregate common equity investment in Holdings; or


	•		IPO Scenario—Holdings’ common stock trades on a public stock exchange at an average closing price of $225 (as adjusted for stock splits) over a 60 consecutive trading day period.

Since the original issue date, the Brake North America and Asia group was distributed on November 2012 and a dividend recapitalization transaction was undertaken in April 2013. These two actions had an impact on the calculation of the overall return to the Holdings’ shareholders. In December 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved reducing the Cypress Scenario and IPO Scenario vesting points as a result of the aforementioned actions. Accordingly, the vesting points were reduced from $225 to $159.30 under the IPO Scenario and from $200 to $141.60 under the Cypress Scenario.

Under the terms of the November 2014 RSU modification, previously issued RSUs for certain holders were cancelled and concurrently replaced with an equal number of awards with different vesting conditions. As described above, prior to modification, the vesting conditions of the awards were entirely performance and market based, with ultimate vesting contingent on achievement of one of two scenarios. Under the terms of the modified awards, 50% of the awards are performance and market based, with vesting contingent upon achievement of either the Cypress Scenario or IPO Scenario, while the remaining 50% are time-based with vesting occurring in four equal annual installments on either December 31 in the case of one holder, the first vesting of which occurred on December 31, 2014, or January 1 in the case of other holders, the first vesting of which occurred on January 1, 2015.

Pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements associated with the modified awards, for the time based awards, upon vesting, 40% of the vested shares are promptly redeemed by Holdings at the then fair market value and the remaining 60% remain in place as issued shares. At the same time, Holdings issues to each holder a number of additional performance and market based RSUs equal to the number of shares redeemed.

In accordance with ASC 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), the Company accounted for the RSU modification as a modification of outstanding RSUs. For the component of the modified RSUs that remained performance and market based with the same vesting conditions as the prior RSUs, the Company determined that the likelihood of ultimate vesting was the same as under the previous RSUs, thus the modification resulted in the likelihood of vesting remaining improbable. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation cost has been recognized associated with these RSUs. For the component of the RSU modification that resulted in performance and market based RSUs being exchanged for time-based RSUs, it was determined that the modification resulted in the ultimate vesting of the awards to change from improbable-to-probable. As a result, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense under the straight-line method over the requisite service period for the time-based component of the RSUs effective with the grant date, which is the same date as the RSU modification.

Under ASC 718, a company must determine if awards issued under stock-based compensation plans should be accounted for as equity-classified awards or liability-classified awards. Based on the terms of the time-based RSUs, it was determined that each RSU should be bifurcated into an equity-classified RSU and a liability-classified RSU based on method of settlement. The components of the time-based RSUs that will be settled via issuance of RSUs are accounted for as equity-classified awards as ultimate vesting of the RSUs is achieved through fulfilling a service condition. Accordingly, the expense to be recorded over the requisite service period was based on the grant-date fair value of the RSUs. The component of the time-based RSUs that will be redeemed for cash will be accounted for as a liability-classified award due to the cash settlement feature. In accordance with ASC 718, the value of the liability awards will be marked-to-market each reporting period. Stock-based compensation expense, which was recorded as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, was approximately $3 million during the year ended December 31, 2014.

During 2014, there were 61,071 new RSUs granted to employees, which includes the 54,009 new RSUs discussed above.

During 2013, 142,861 RSUs either expired or were forfeited. In connection with the closure of the corporate headquarters, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, several employees elected to forfeit 92,514 unvested RSUs in exchange for a payment equal to 30% of the anticipated value of such RSU holder’s RSUs upon the occurrence of a Cypress Scenario vesting event. In connection with this exchange, the Company recorded approximately $3 million of expense during the year ended December 31, 2014, which is included as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of December 31, 2014, 184,305 RSUs had been awarded and remained outstanding, 100,450 of such outstanding RSUs were performance and market-based and 83,855 were time-based. The fair value of the performance and market-based RSUs was determined using a market-based Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of the recent modifications. The Company’s weighted-average Monte Carlo fair value assumptions include:



		Cypress Scenario				IPO Scenario
Effective term			0.04 years				0.24 years
Fair value of an RSU		$	173.83			$	169.3
Expected expense (Dollars in millions)		$	23			$	23

It is estimated that the fair value of the time based RSUs using a market-based Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of the grant is approximately $14 million.

In the event that either of the performance or market-based conditions (Cypress Scenario or IPO Scenario) are met, the fair value of the RSUs will be recognized in stock-based compensation expense either (i) pro rata over the requisite service term including a cumulative catch-up related to service provided through the date the performance condition is met or (ii) in full once the respective market-based condition is met or (iii) in full if the requisite service period has already passed when the performance condition is met. If the vesting condition was met on the performance and market-based RSUs, outstanding at December 31, 2014, the amount of expense the Company would have recognized is $15 million under the Cypress scenario or $15 million under the IPO scenario.



A rollforward of the outstanding RSU awards for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 is as follows:



		RSUs
Outstanding at January 1, 2012			242,000
Granted			—
Forfeited/expired			—

Outstanding at December 31, 2012			242,000
Granted			106,369
Forfeited/expired			(142,861	)

Outstanding at December 31, 2013			205,508
Granted			61,777
Cancelled			(157,963	)
Grant of modified awards			157,963
Vested			(1,766	)
Forfeited/expired			(81,214	)

Outstanding at December 31, 2014			184,305


At December 31, 2014, the total grant date fair value associated with the equity classified RSUs that has yet to be recognized in earnings is $6 million. This amount will be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period, which is from January 1, 2015 to January 1, 2018. The fair value of the liability classified RSUs that has yet to be recognized in earnings is $4 million. While this amount will be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period similar to the equity classified RSUs, the ultimate amount recognized in earnings will likely be different than the December 31, 2014 value as the outstanding awards will be remeasured to fair value each reporting period until the awards are settled in accordance with ASC 718.

Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company began offering a deferred compensation plan in 2008 that permitted certain employees to defer receipt of all or a portion of the amounts awarded under the non-equity incentive compensation plan. All amounts deferred were treated as being notionally invested in the common stock of Holdings. As such, the accounts under the plan reflect investment gains and losses associated with an investment in the Holdings common stock. The Company matches 25% of the deferral amount with an additional notional investment in common stock of Holdings, which is subject to vesting as provided in the plan. Deferred compensation expense, which is recorded as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, was less than a million, $2 million and $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	Affinia’s restructuring activities, as described below, were undertaken to execute management’s strategy, streamline operations and to ultimately achieve net cost reductions. Costs related to these restructuring activities are reflected within Selling, general and administrative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The restructuring charges consist of employee termination costs, other exit costs and impairment costs. Severance costs are being accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 420, “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations” and ASC Topic 712, “Compensation—Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits.” On October 15, 2013, Affinia announced that it would relocate its Ann Arbor, Michigan corporate headquarters to Gastonia, North Carolina, which is the location of the Filtration segment. The Company recorded an accrual of $4 million and $1 million as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014, respectively, related to the relocation. The transition to the new corporate headquarters was substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of 2014. On August 29, 2014, the Company and CQ Sourcing agreed to end their current business relationship effective as of December 31, 2014. The Company recorded an accrual of $1 million as of December 31, 2014 related to the ending of this relationship.

	Mr. John M. Riess, one of the Company’s Board members, is the parent of J. Michael Riess, who is currently employed with Genuine Parts Company (NAPA) as president of a distribution facility. NAPA is the Company’s largest customer as a percentage of total net sales from continuing operations. NAPA accounted for 23%, 22% and 23% of the Company’s total net sales from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	In 2010, Mr. Zhang Haibo, 15% owner of Affinia Hong Kong Limited (“AHK”), loaned $1 million to AHK, a Brake North America and Asia group entity, to facilitate the establishment of a new subsidiary, Affinia Qingdao Braking Systems Co. Ltd., a new friction company in China with the intention of manufacturing friction products and distributing these products in Asia and North America. AHK owns 100% of the subsidiary. The contribution agreement was not finalized as of December 31, 2010, but the cash had been received by AHK, as such Affinia has recorded the $1 million as related party debt. In 2011, the contribution agreement had been finalized and the related party debt had been transferred to accumulated paid-in capital. This entity is no longer owned because it was distributed as part of the Brake North America and Asia group distribution in 2012.



	In 2010, Mr. Zhang Haibo contributed $3 million to AHK to facilitate the purchase of land use rights for a new filtration company in China with the intention of manufacturing and distributing filtration products principally in Asia. The contribution did not change the ownership percentage and as a consequence the noncontrolling interest did not change but property, plant and equipment did increase. In 2011, Mr. Zhang Haibo, 15% owner of AHK, contributed $1 million for funding to Longkou Wix Filtration Co. Ltd., a new filtration company in China with the intention of manufacturing filtration products and distributing these products in Asia and North America. During the third quarter of 2012, Affinia purchased the remaining 15% ownership interest in Longkou Wix Filtration Co. Ltd.

Venezuelan Operations	Dec. 31, 2014
Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Venezuelan Operations	18. VENEZUELAN OPERATIONS

	In accordance with U.S. GAAP, effective January 1, 2010, the Company accounted for Venezuela as a highly inflationary economy because the three-year cumulative inflation rate for Venezuela using the blended Consumer Price Index (which is associated with the city of Caracas) and the National Consumer Price Index (developed commencing in 2008 and covering the entire country of Venezuela) exceeded 100%. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2010, Affinia’s Venezuelan subsidiary used the U.S. Dollar as its functional currency. The financial statements of this subsidiary must be re-measured into the Company’s reporting currency (U.S. Dollar) and future exchange gains and losses from the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in current earnings, rather than exclusively in the equity section of the balance sheet, until such time as the economy is no longer considered highly inflationary. The local currency in Venezuela is the Bolivar Fuerte (“VEF”).

	On January 11, 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued the country’s currency and, on February 8, 2013, the Venezuelan government announced another devaluation of the currency to 6.3 VEF per U.S. Dollar and it eliminated the parallel market rate of 5.3 VEF per U.S. Dollar. The Company used the official exchange rate of 6.3 VEF per U.S. Dollar to translate the financial statements of the Venezuelan subsidiary to comply with the regulations of Venezuela and are analyzing the impact of the volume restrictions on the business. The one-time devaluation had a $2 million negative impact on Affinia’s pre-tax net income during the first quarter of 2013.

	In 2013, the Venezuelan government authorized certain companies that operate in designated industry sectors to exchange a limited volume of VEFs for U.S. Dollars at a bid rate established via weekly auctions under what is known as SICAD 1. SICAD 1 auctions began in October 2013. However, SICAD 1 auctions are not indicative of a free market exchange as only designated industries may bid into individual auctions and the highest bids are not always recognized by the Venezuelan government. In March 2014, another currency exchange mechanism (SICAD 2) became effective. SICAD 2 is intended to more closely resemble a market-driven exchange rate than the rates provided by Venezuela’s other regulated exchange mechanisms (i.e. the official rate and the SICAD 1 rate). Thus, as of March 31, 2014, entities may be able to convert VEFs at one of three legal exchange rates: official rate of 6.3 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar, SICAD 1 rate of 10.7 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar based on closing rate at last auction, and SICAD 2 rate of 50.86 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar based on closing rate on March 31, 2014.

	As a result of the multiple exchange rates available to settle transactions, at March 31, 2014, management reevaluated the exchange rates previously used for measurement, which had been the official rate of 6.3 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. While substantially all of the import transactions for purchases of inventory have been preapproved by the Venezuelan government at the official rate of 6.3 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar, the Venezuelan government has not settled these transactions with vendors since November 2013. This, along with the introduction of the SICAD 1 and SICAD 2 market mechanisms, raise considerable doubts about the Company’s ability to ultimately settle transactions at the official rate in the future. Additionally, legislation enacted by the Venezuelan government in 2014 indicates that foreign investments are subject to the SICAD 1 rate rather than the official rate. While not the determinative factor, management views the passing of this legislation as a critical component in its assessment of the most representative rate at which transactions may settle in the future, as well as consideration of the aforementioned legislation that was enacted earlier in 2014, Affinia recorded a one-time devaluation of $7 million in the first quarter of 2014, which represents a move from the official rate to the SICAD 1 rate of 10.7 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. Of the $7 million devaluation charge, $5 million was recorded in the Filtration segment and $2 million was recorded in the ASA segment. This devaluation is reflected in “Other income and expenses, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

	As of December 31, 2014, the Company reflected in its results, a movement in the SICAD 1 rate from 10.7 VEF to 12.0 VEF to 1 U.S. Dollar. This resulted in an immaterial devaluation.

	In 2014, Affinia’s Venezuelan subsidiaries represented approximately 5% of the Company’s consolidated net sales and the Venezuelan subsidiaries have total assets and liabilities of less than 5% of the Company’s total consolidated assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2014.

	Management will continue to monitor the environment in Venezuela to determine whether further devaluation charges are required. At this time, management does not believe that the foreign exchange limitations or restrictions will have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity, cash flows or debt covenants.

Summary_of_Significant_Account1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Dec. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation	The Consolidated Financial Statements include all domestic and foreign subsidiaries that were more than 50% owned and controlled as of each respective reporting period presented. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Investments in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investments in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence over are accounted for under the cost method of accounting.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates	These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”). The preparation of financial statements that conform to GAAP in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk

	The primary type of financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are trade accounts receivable. The Company limits its credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, when deemed necessary, requires letters of credit, guarantees or collateral. The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from replacement parts wholesalers and retailers serving the aftermarket.

	The Company’s net sales to its largest customer as a percentage of total net sales from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, was 23%, 22% and 23%, respectively. Net sales represent the amounts invoiced to customers after adjustments related to rebates, returns and discounts. The Company provides reserves for rebates, returns and discounts at the time of sale which are subsequently applied to the account of specific customers based upon actual activity including the attainment of targeted volumes. The Company’s largest customer’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, represented approximately 17% and 11%, respectively, of the total accounts receivable.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation

	Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date and equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are presented in Change in foreign currency translation adjustments within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

	Included in net income (loss) are the gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions. The impact on income from continuing operations before income tax provision, equity in income (loss), net of tax and noncontrolling interest of foreign currency transactions including the results of the Company’s foreign currency hedging activities amounted to a loss of $13 million, loss of $6 million and a gain of $2 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash
Restricted Cash	Restricted cash at December 31, 2014 relates to amounts on deposit in Venezuela to fund the procurement of U.S. Dollars via currency exchange auctions administered by the Venezuelan government.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Accounts receivable

	The Company records trade accounts receivable when revenue is recorded in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy and relieves accounts receivable when payments are received from customers.

	Allowance for doubtful accounts

	The allowance for doubtful accounts is established through charges to the provision for bad debts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The evaluation includes historical trends in collections and write-offs, management’s judgment of the probability of collecting accounts, and management’s evaluation of business risk. The allowance is an estimate that may be impacted by economic and market conditions which could have an effect on future allowance requirements and results of operations.
Inventories	Inventories

	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method of inventory costing for all domestic inventories and at the Company’s Poland operations, or average cost basis for other non-U.S. inventories.
Goodwill	Goodwill
Goodwill	Goodwill is not amortized, but instead the Company evaluates goodwill for impairment, as of December 31 of each year, unless conditions arise that would require a more frequent evaluation. In assessing the recoverability of goodwill, the Company performs a qualitative or quantitative assessment to test for impairment annually. If the Company determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that a quantitative impairment test is required estimated future cash flows and other factors are made to determine the fair value of the respective reporting unit. If these estimates or related projections change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for goodwill at that time.
Intangibles	Intangibles

	Affinia has trade names with indefinite lives and other intangibles with definite lives. Affinia tests trade names for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31 of each year, unless conditions arise that would require a more frequent evaluation. Trade names are tested for impairment by comparing the fair value to their carrying values.

	The Company’s intangibles with definite lives consist of customer relationships, patents and developed technology. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 20 years. Certain conditions may arise that could result in a change in useful lives or require the Company to perform a valuation to determine if the definite lived intangibles are impaired.
Deferred Financing Costs	Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred Financing Costs	Deferred financing costs are incurred to obtain long-term financing and are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt. The amortization of deferred financing costs is classified in interest expense in the statement of operations.
Depreciation	Depreciation

	Fixed assets are depreciated over their estimated remaining lives using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated depreciation methods for federal income tax purposes. Major additions and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, and repairs and maintenance are charged to expense in the period incurred. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment and generally accepted accounting principles require recognition of an impairment loss only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows. If the long-lived asset is not recoverable, the Company measures an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.

	Useful lives for buildings and building improvements, machinery and equipment, tooling and office equipment, furniture and fixtures principally range from 20 to 30 years, five to ten years, three to five years and three to ten years, respectively. Upon retirement or other disposal of fixed assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts, respectively. The difference, if any, between the net asset value and the proceeds is recorded as a gain or loss on disposition.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition	Sales are recognized when products are shipped or received, depending on the contractual terms, and risk of loss has transferred to the customer. The Company estimates and records provisions for warranty costs, sales returns, rebates and other allowances based on experience and other relevant factors, when sales are recognized. The Company assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty, sales returns, rebates and allowances liabilities on a regular basis and adjusts the recorded amounts as necessary. While management believes that these estimates are reasonable, actual warranty costs, actual returns, rebates and allowances may differ from estimates. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in sales and the costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of sales.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes

	Income taxes are recognized during the period in which transactions enter into the determination of financial statement income, with deferred income taxes being provided for the tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred income taxes are provided on the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and affiliated companies except to the extent such earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested in the subsidiary or affiliate. In cases where foreign tax credits will not offset U.S. income taxes, amounts are included in the Income tax provision within Consolidated Statement of Operations.

	The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments
Financial Instruments	The reported fair values of financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and long-term debt, are based on a variety of factors. Where available, fair values represent quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on assumptions concerning the implied market volatilities, amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates reflecting varying degrees of credit and market risk. Fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could be realized as of the balance sheet date or that will be realized in the future. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the book value of some of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable, approximated their fair values. The fair value of long-term debt is discussed further in Note 6 Debt.
Environmental Compliance and Remediation	Environmental Compliance and Remediation
Environmental Compliance and Remediation	Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to existing conditions caused by past operations which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Estimated costs are based upon current laws and regulations, existing technology and the most probable method of remediation. The costs are not discounted and exclude the effects of inflation. If the cost estimates result in a range of equally probable amounts, the lower end of the range is accrued.
Advertising Costs and Promotional Programs	Advertising Costs

	Advertising costs are recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations at the time advertising when incurred. Advertising expenses included in continuing operations were $20 million, $19 million and $20 million for the years 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The advertising expenses included in discontinued operations, were nil, $2 million and $7 million for the years 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

	Promotional Programs

	Cooperative advertising programs conducted with customers that promote the Company’s products are accrued as a rebate based on anticipated total amounts to be rebated to customers over the period of the agreement with the customer. Rebates are reflected in Net sales within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Aftermarket distributors typically source their product lines at a particular price point and product category with one “full-line” supplier, such as Affinia, which covers substantially all of their product requirements. Switching to a new supplier typically requires that a distributor or supplier make a substantial investment to purchase, or “changeover” to, the new supplier’s products. The changeover costs and other incentives incurred in connection with obtaining new business are recognized as selling expense in the period in which the changeover from a competitor’s product to the Company’s product occurs. Infrequently, the Company enters into a contract with a customer for a set period of time that requires the reimbursement of the incentive by the customer if the future conditions of the contract are not met. In these infrequent cases the incentive is recorded as a reduction of revenue over the life of the contract.
Insurance	Insurance
Insurance	The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance for a number of risks, including workers’ compensation, general liability, vehicle liability and the Company-funded portion of employee-related health care benefits. Liabilities associated with these risks are estimated in part by considering historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions.
Research and Development Costs	Research and Development Costs

	The Company charges research and development expenses, relating to the development of new products or the improvements or redesign of its existing products, to expense when incurred. The Company incurred less than $1 million for each of the years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012. These costs are recognized in Cost of sales within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Derivatives	Derivatives

	The Company is subject to various financial risks during the normal course of business operations, including but not limited to, adverse changes to interest rates, currency exchange rates, counterparty creditworthiness, and commodity prices. The Company may utilize financial derivative instruments in order to mitigate the potential impact of these factors. The Company’s policies strictly prohibit the use of derivatives for speculative purposes.

	The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage the risk that changes in interest rates will have on the amount of future interest payments. Interest rate swap contracts are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable versus fixed interest rates. Under these agreements, the Company agrees to pay an amount equal to a specified fixed rate times a notional principal amount, and to receive an amount equal to a specified variable rate times the same notional principal amount or vice versa. The notional amounts of the contract are not exchanged. No other cash payments are made unless the contract is terminated prior to maturity, in which case the amount paid or received in settlement is established by agreement at the time of termination and will represent the net present value, at current rates of interest, of the remaining obligation to exchange payments under the terms of the contract. The Company measures hedge effectiveness, at least quarterly, by using the hypothetical derivative method.

	The Company’s derivative instrument portfolio includes standard forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps. Beginning in 2014, the Company began utilizing forward currency contracts that are intended to offset foreign exchange risk for certain forecasted gross receivable and payable balances. These contracts qualify for, and the Company has elected to apply, hedge accounting treatment under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). In accordance with ASC 815, gains or losses on outstanding hedges are recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and reclassified into net income in the same period during which the hedged transaction impacts net income. Prior to entering into the forward currency contracts in 2014, the Company entered into currency forward contract that were intended to offset the earnings impact related to the periodic revaluation of specific non-functional currency denominated monetary working capital accounts and intercompany financing arrangements. The Company did not elect hedge accounting treatment for these currency forward contacts because the earnings impact from both the underlying exposures and the hedge transactions were recognized in earnings each accounting period. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage the ratio of net floating-rate debt to total debt outstanding, thereby reducing the potential impact that interest rate variability may have on its consolidated financial results. The Company has designated its interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges.
Stock-Based Compensation and Deferred Compensation Plan	Stock-Based Compensation

	The Company accounts for equity awards issued under its 2005 Stock Plan in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). See Note 13 for additional information.



	Deferred Compensation Plan

	The Company established a deferred compensation plan in 2008 that permitted executives to defer receipt of all or a portion of the amounts payable under the non-equity incentive compensation plan. All amounts deferred were treated solely for purposes of the plan to have been notionally invested in the common stock of Holdings. As such, the accounts under the plan will reflect investment gains and losses associated with an investment in Holdings’ common stock. The Company matched 25% of the deferral with an additional notional investment in common stock of Holdings, which is subject to vesting as provided in the plan.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted	New Accounting Pronouncements

	Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.”ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of this standard has not had any impact on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 amends the definition of a discontinued operation in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20 and requires entities to provide additional disclosures about discontinued operations as well as disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The FASB issued the ASU to provide more decision-useful information and to make it more difficult for a disposal transaction to qualify as a discontinued operation. In addition, the ASU requires entities to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods in the statement of financial position, as well as significant changes to the presentation requirements within the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale before the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this ASU could have a significant impact on the financial statement presentation associated with any disposal transactions that may occur in the future.

	Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this new ASU will have on its revenue recognition upon adoption.

	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
