Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation was incorporated as a Delaware Corporation in 2014. The Company is a leading global supplier of technology and innovation in vehicle and industrial products for fuel economy, emissions reduction, and safety systems. The Company serves the world’s foremost original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and servicers (“OES”) (collectively, “OE”) of automotive, light, medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, off-road, agricultural, marine, rail, aerospace, power generation and industrial equipment, as well as the worldwide aftermarket. Holding Company Reorganization: On April 15, 2014, Federal-Mogul Corporation completed a holding company reorganization (the “Reorganization”). As a result of the Reorganization, the outstanding shares of Federal-Mogul Corporation common stock were automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation common stock, and all of the stockholders of Federal-Mogul Corporation immediately prior to the Reorganization automatically became stockholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation. The rights of stockholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation are generally governed by Delaware law and Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which are the same in all material respects as those of Federal-Mogul Corporation immediately prior to the Reorganization. In addition, the board of directors of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation and its Audit Committee and Compensation Committee are composed of the same members as the board of directors, Audit Committee, and Compensation Committee of Federal-Mogul Corporation prior to the Reorganization. References herein to the “Company,” “Federal-Mogul,” “we,” “us,” “our” refer to Federal-Mogul Corporation for the period prior to the effective time of the Reorganization on April 15, 2014 and to Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation for the period after the effective time of the Reorganization. Controlling Ownership: As of December 31, 2015 Mr. Carl C. Icahn indirectly controls approximately 81.99% of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock and, by virtue of such stock ownership, is able to control or exert substantial influence over the Company, including the election of directors, business strategy and policies, mergers or other business combinations, acquisition or disposition of assets, future issuances of common stock or other securities, incurrence of debt or obtaining other sources of financing, and the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock. The existence of a controlling stockholder may have the effect of making it difficult for, or may discourage or delay, a third party from seeking to acquire a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which may adversely affect the market price of the stock. Mr. Icahn’s interests may not always be consistent with the Company’s interests or with the interests of the Company’s other stockholders. Mr. Icahn and entities controlled by him may also pursue acquisitions or business opportunities that may or may not be complementary to the Company’s business. To the extent that conflicts of interest may arise between the Company and Mr. Icahn and his affiliates, those conflicts may be resolved in a manner adverse to the Company or its other shareholders. Spinoff: On January 15, 2016, the Company announced it terminated the previously announced spin-off of its Motorparts division. The Company will continue to operate with two separate, independent businesses with separate CEOs who will each report directly the Company's board of directors. The separate businesses more effectively serve their unique markets and allow each operating business to pursue its business strategy and more quickly react to its respective market conditions. Deconsolidations: In 2012, the Company began exiting substantially all its activities in Venezuela with only residual cash and de minimis administrative costs remaining in 2014. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company concluded that the inability to freely exchange currency between the Venezuelan bolivar currency and the U.S. dollar coupled with the significant government regulations and restrictions then in place severely limited its ability to manage and control its Venezuelan operations. As a result, the Company's Venezuelan subsidiary was deconsolidated as of December 31, 2014. The effect of the deconsolidation was a $2 million dollar charge included in the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014. In 2015, the Company had no operations in Venezuela.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation: The Company consolidates into its financial statements the accounts of the Company, all wholly-owned subsidiaries, and any partially-owned subsidiary that the Company has the ability to control. Control generally equates to ownership percentage, whereby investments that are more than 50% owned are consolidated, investments in affiliates of 50% or less but greater than 20% are accounted for using the equity method, and investments in affiliates of 20% or less are accounted for using the cost method. See Note 12 , Investment in Nonconsolidated Affiliates , for discussion regarding the Company's subsidiaries that are subject to regulatory control. The Company does not consolidate any entity for which it has a variable interest based solely on power to direct the activities and significant participation in the entity’s expected results that would not otherwise be consolidated based on control through voting interests. Further, the Company’s affiliates are businesses established and maintained in connection with the Company’s operating strategy. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications from the prior year presentation have been made to conform to the current year presentation. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates. Cash and Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Concentrations of Credit Risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of accounts receivable, cash investments and derivative instruments. The Company’s customer base includes virtually every significant global light and commercial vehicle manufacturer and a large number of distributors, installers and retailers of automotive aftermarket parts. The Company’s credit evaluation process and the geographical dispersion of sales transactions help to mitigate credit risk concentration. No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales during 2015 and one customer accounts for approximately 11.2% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2015 . The Company requires placement of cash in financial institutions evaluated as highly creditworthy. See Note 7 for further discussion related to derivatives. Divestitures : In connection with its strategic planning process, the Company assesses its operations for market position, product technology and capability, and profitability. Those businesses determined by management not to have a sustainable competitive advantage are considered non-core and may be considered for divestiture or other exit activities. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company divested its sintered components operations located in France, its connecting rod manufacturing facility located in Canada, its camshaft foundry located in the United Kingdom and its fuel pump business, which included an aftermarket business component and a manufacturing and research and development facility located in the United States. These divestitures have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 6 , Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations , for further details. Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: Trade accounts receivable is stated at net realizable value, which approximates fair value. The Company does not generally require collateral for its trade accounts receivable. Accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. This estimated allowance is based primarily on management’s evaluation of specific balances as the balances become past due, the financial condition of its customers, and the Company’s historical experience of write-offs. The Company’s general policy for uncollectible accounts, if not reserved through specific examination procedures, is to reserve based upon the aging categories of accounts receivable and whether amounts are due from an original equipment manufacturer or servicer (“OE”) or aftermarket customer. Past due status is based upon the invoice date of the original amounts outstanding. Included in selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses are bad debt expenses of $13 million , $5 million and $3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $27 million and $18 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 . Factoring of Accounts Receivable: The Company has subsidiaries in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy and the United States which are party to accounts receivable factoring and securitization facilities. Amounts factored under these facilities consist of the following: As of December 31 2015 2014 Gross accounts receivable factored $ 408 $ 306 Gross accounts receivable factored, qualifying as sales 401 293 Undrawn cash on factored accounts receivable 1 2 Proceeds from the factoring of accounts receivable qualifying as sales and expenses associated with the factoring of accounts receivable are as follows: Year Ended December 31 2015 2014 2013 Proceeds from factoring qualifying as sales $ 1,550 $ 1,679 $ 1,482 Financing charges (9 ) (6 ) (7 ) Accounts receivables factored but not qualifying as a sale, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing , were pledged as collateral and accounted for as secured borrowings and recorded in the consolidated balance sheets within “Accounts receivable, net” and “Short-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt.” The financing charges totaled $9 million as of December 31, 2015 and are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within “Other income (expense), net.” Where the Company receives a fee to service and monitor these transferred receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not recorded as a result of such activities. Certain of the facilities contain terms that require the Company to share in the credit risk of the sold receivables. The maximum exposures to the Company associated with these certain facilities’ terms were $11 million and $17 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 . Inventories: The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Cost of inventory includes direct materials, labor, and applicable manufacturing overhead costs. The value of inventories are reduced for excess and obsolescence based on management’s review of on-hand inventories compared to historical and estimated future sales and usage. Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment are recorded at fair value established at acquisition or cost unless the expected future use of the assets indicate a lower value is appropriate. Definite-lived intangible assets have been stated at fair value established at acquisition or at cost. Long-lived assets are periodically reviewed for impairment indicators. If impairment indicators exist, the Company performs the required analysis and records an impairment charge, if required, in accordance with the subsequent measurement provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant & Equipment . If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Depreciation and amortization is computed principally by the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Goodwill: Goodwill is determined as the excess of fair value over amounts attributable to specific tangible and intangible assets, including developed technology and customer relationships. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist, in accordance with the subsequent measurement provisions of ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other . This impairment analysis compares the fair values of the Company’s reporting units to their related carrying values. If a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, the Company must then calculate the reporting unit’s implied fair value of goodwill and impairment charges are recorded for any excess of the goodwill carrying value over the implied fair value of goodwill. The reporting units’ fair values are based upon consideration of various valuation methodologies, including projected future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risks involved, guideline transaction multiples, and multiples of current and future earnings. Trademarks and Brand Names: Trademarks and brand names are stated at fair value established at acquisition or cost. These indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist, in accordance with the subsequent measurement provisions of ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other . This impairment analysis compares the fair values of these assets to the related carrying values, and impairment charges are recorded for any excess of carrying values over fair values. These fair values are based upon the prospective stream of hypothetical after-tax royalty cost savings discounted at rates that reflect the rates of return appropriate for these intangible assets. Pension and Other Postretirement Obligations: The cost of benefits provided by defined benefit pension and postretirement plans is recorded in the period employees provide service. Future pension expense for certain significant funded benefit plans is calculated using an expected return on plan asset methodology. The market-related value of plan assets is fair value. Actuarial gains and losses are accumulated and amortized into net income once they exceed a corridor, which is 10% of the projected benefit obligation, over the expected future working lifetime or life expectancy of the plan participants. The discount rate assumption is established at the measurement date. In the U.S., the Company uses a cash flow matching approach that uses projected cash flows matched to spot rates along a high quality corporate yield curve to determine the present value of cash flows to calculate a single equivalent discount rate. The benefit obligation for pension plans in Belgium, France, and Germany represents 91% of the non-U.S. pension benefit obligation at December 31, 2015. The discount rates for plans in Belgium, France, and Germany are determined using a cash flow matching approach similar to the U.S. approach. Investments with registered investment companies, common and preferred stocks, and certain government debt securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the securities are traded. Corporate debt securities are valued by third-party pricing sources using the multi-dimensional relational model using instruments with similar characteristics. Hedge funds and the collective trust are valued at net asset value (NAV) per share which are provided by the respective investment sponsors or investment advisers. Revenue Recognition: The Company records sales when products are shipped and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and the collectability of revenue is reasonably assured. Accruals for sales returns and other allowances are provided at point of sale based upon past experience. Adjustments to such returns and allowances are made as new information becomes available. Rebates: The Company accrues for rebates pursuant to specific arrangements with certain customers, primarily in the aftermarket. Rebates generally provide for price reductions based upon the achievement of specified purchase volumes and are recorded as a reduction of sales as earned by such customers. Sales and Sales Related Taxes: The Company collects and remits taxes assessed by various governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with revenue-producing transactions with its customers. These taxes may include, but are not limited to, sales, use, value-added, and some excise taxes. The collection of these taxes is reported on a net basis (excluded from revenues). Shipping and Handling Costs: The Company recognizes shipping and handling costs as incurred as a component of "Cost of products sold" in the consolidated statements of operations. Engineering and Tooling Costs: Pre-production tooling and engineering costs that the Company will not own and that will be used in producing products under long-term supply arrangements are expensed as incurred unless the supply arrangement provides the Company with the noncancelable right to use the tools, or the reimbursement of such costs is agreed to by the customer. Pre-production tooling costs that are owned by the Company are capitalized as part of machinery and equipment, and are depreciated over the shorter of the tool’s expected life or the duration of the related program. Research and Development: The Company expenses research and development (“R&D”) costs as incurred. R&D expense, including product engineering and validation costs, was $189 million , $192 million and $173 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . R&D expense is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within “Selling, general and administrative expenses.” Advertising Costs: Advertising and promotion expenses for continuing operations are expensed as incurred and were $48 million , $47 million , and $41 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . Advertising and promotion expenses are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within “Selling, general and administrative expenses.” Restructuring: Restructuring is comprised of two types of costs: employee costs (principally termination benefits) and facility closure costs. Termination benefits are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 712, Compensation – Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits and are recorded when it is probable employees will be entitled to benefits and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Estimates of termination benefits are based on the frequency of past termination benefits, the similarity of benefits under the current plan and prior plans, and the existence of statutory required minimum benefits. Termination benefits are also accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (“ASC 420”), for one-time termination benefits and are recorded dependent upon future service requirements. Facility closure and other costs are accounted for in accordance with ASC 420 and are recorded when the liability is incurred. Foreign Currency Translation: Exchange adjustments related to international currency transactions and translation adjustments for international subsidiaries whose functional currency is the United States dollar (principally those located in highly inflationary economies) are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Translation adjustments of international subsidiaries for which the local currency is the functional currency are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.” Deferred taxes are not provided on translation adjustments as the earnings of the subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested. Environmental Liabilities: The Company recognizes environmental liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations ("ASC 410") when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. Such liabilities are generally not subject to insurance coverage. Engineering and legal specialists within the Company estimate each environmental obligation based on current law and existing technologies. Such estimates are based primarily upon the estimated cost of investigation and remediation required and the likelihood that other potentially responsible parties will be able to fulfill their commitments at the sites where the Company may be jointly and severally liable with such parties. The Company regularly evaluates and revises its estimates for environmental obligations based on expenditures against established accruals and the availability of additional information. Asset Retirement Obligations : The Company records asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) in accordance with ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations . The Company’s primary ARO activities relate to the removal of hazardous building materials at its facilities. The Company records AROs when liabilities are probable and amounts can be reasonably estimated. Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company uses interest rate swaps, commodity forward contracts and currency swaps to manage volatility of underlying exposures. The Company recognizes all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated, and is effective, as a hedge and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. Gains and losses related to a hedge are either recognized in income immediately to offset the gain or loss on the hedged item or are deferred and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion of a financial instrument, determined using the hypothetical derivative method, is recognized in earnings immediately. The gain or loss related to financial instruments that are not designated as hedges are recognized immediately in earnings. Cash flows related to hedging activities are included in the operating section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company’s objectives for holding derivatives are to minimize risks using the most effective and cost-efficient methods available. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605, Revenue Recognition . This ASU clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and provides a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards and will require revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Adoption of the new rules could affect the timing of revenue recognition for certain transactions. The FASB, through the issuance of ASU No. 2015-14, approved a one year delay of the effective date and the new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this pronouncement and the implementation approach to be used. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. This ASU amends existing guidance to require the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting to clarify the SEC staff’s position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements. ASU No. 2015-15 is effective upon issuance. Upon adoption of aforementioned guidance the Company will present debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from its debt liability. The Company expects the retroactive adoption of this guidance will decrease debt by approximately $9 million as of December 31, 2015. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory . This ASU requires entities to measure most inventory “at the lower of cost and net realizable value,” thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. ASU No. 2015-11 is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this pronouncement. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments . Under this ASU, an acquirer must recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The effect on earnings of changes in depreciation or amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed as of the acquisition date, must be recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined rather than retrospectively. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods. The Company expects the adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on its financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . The amendments in this update simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes and require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. This update applies to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. These amendments may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. If the guidance is applied prospectively, disclosure is made in the first interim and first annual period of change, the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle and a statement that prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. If the guidance is applied retrospectively, disclosure is made in the first interim and first annual period of change, the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle and quantitative information about the effects of the accounting change on prior periods. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is allowed for any interim or annual financial statements that have not been issued. The Company has elected early to adopt this ASU for the year ended December 31, 2015 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . The updated guidance enhances the reporting model for financial instruments, which includes amendments to address aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. The amendments in the ASU are effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, with early adoption not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this pronouncement.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND ASSET

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS	RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS The Company’s restructuring activities are undertaken as necessary to execute management’s strategy and streamline operations, consolidate and take advantage of available capacity and resources, and ultimately achieve productivity improvements and net cost reductions. Restructuring activities include efforts to integrate and rationalize the Company’s businesses and to relocate manufacturing operations to best cost manufacturing locations. The Company's restructuring charges consist primarily of employee costs (principally severance and/or termination benefits), facility closure and other costs, curtailment losses (gains) related to reductions of pension and retiree medical benefit obligations as a result of headcount reductions, and asset impairments related to restructuring activities. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, restructuring charges and asset impairments include the following: Year Ended December 31, 2015 Powertrain Motorparts Corporate Total Severance and other charges, net $ (33 ) $ (56 ) $ — $ (89 ) Asset impairments related to restructuring activities (1 ) (2 ) — (3 ) Total Restructuring charges (34 ) (58 ) — (92 ) Other asset impairments (16 ) (1 ) — (17 ) Impairment of assets held for sale (12 ) — — (12 ) Total asset impairment charges (28 ) (1 ) — (29 ) Total restructuring charges and asset impairments $ (62 ) $ (59 ) $ — $ (121 ) 2014 Powertrain Motorparts Corporate Total Severance and other charges, net $ (59 ) $ (26 ) $ (1 ) $ (86 ) Asset impairments related to restructuring activities (2 ) (1 ) — (3 ) Total Restructuring charges (61 ) (27 ) (1 ) (89 ) Other asset impairments (5 ) (11 ) — $ (16 ) Impairment of nonconsolidated affiliate — (5 ) — (5 ) Total asset impairment charges (5 ) (16 ) — (21 ) Total restructuring charges and asset impairments $ (66 ) $ (43 ) $ (1 ) $ (110 ) 2013 Powertrain Motorparts Corporate Total Severance and other charges, net $ (17 ) $ (20 ) $ (3 ) $ (40 ) Asset impairments related to restructuring activities (1 ) — — (1 ) OPEB curtailment gain related to restructuring activities — 19 — 19 Total Restructuring charges (18 ) (1 ) (3 ) (22 ) Other asset impairments (4 ) (2 ) (1 ) (7 ) Total restructuring charges and asset impairments $ (22 ) $ (3 ) $ (4 ) $ (29 ) Restructuring Estimates of restructuring charges are based on information available at the time such charges are recorded. In certain countries where the Company operates, statutory requirements include involuntary termination benefits that extend several years into the future. Accordingly, severance payments continue well past the date of termination at many international locations. Thus, restructuring programs appear to be ongoing when, in fact, terminations and other activities have been substantially completed. Restructuring opportunities include potential plant closures and employee headcount reductions in various countries require consultation with various parties including, but not limited to, unions/works councils, local governments and/or customers. The consultation process can take a significant amount of time and affect the final outcome and timing. The Company's policy is to record a provision for qualifying restructuring costs in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance when the outcome of such consultations becomes probable. Management expects to finance its restructuring programs through cash generated from its ongoing operations or through cash available under its existing credit facility, subject to the terms of applicable covenants. Management does not expect that the execution of these programs will have an adverse effect on its liquidity position. The following table is a summary of the Company’s consolidated restructuring liabilities and related activity as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 by reporting segment. Powertrain Motorparts Total Reporting Segment Corporate Total Company Balance at December 31, 2012 $ 4 $ 5 $ 9 $ 3 $ 12 Provisions 20 20 40 4 44 Reversals (3 ) — (3 ) (1 ) (4 ) Payments (13 ) (11 ) (24 ) (4 ) (28 ) Balance at December 31, 2013 8 14 22 2 24 Provisions 59 27 86 1 87 Reversals — (1 ) (1 ) — (1 ) Payments (27 ) (24 ) (51 ) (2 ) (53 ) Foreign currency (4 ) — (4 ) — (4 ) Balance at December 31, 2014 36 16 52 1 53 Provisions 38 55 93 — 93 Reversals (4 ) — (4 ) — (4 ) Payments (35 ) (22 ) (57 ) (1 ) (58 ) Acquisitions 2 — 2 — 2 Foreign currency (4 ) (2 ) (6 ) — (6 ) Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 33 $ 47 $ 80 $ — $ 80 The $80 million restructuring liability at December 31, 2015 includes $71 million of current accrued liabilities and $9 million of other accrued liabilities. The following table provides a summary of the Company’s consolidated restructuring liabilities and related activity for each type of exit cost as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . As the table indicates, facility closure costs are typically paid within the year of incurrence. Employee Costs Facility Closure and Other Costs Total Balance at December 31, 2012 $ 12 — 12 Provisions 41 3 44 Reversals (4 ) — (4 ) Payments (25 ) (3 ) (28 ) Balance at December 31, 2013 24 — 24 Provisions 77 10 87 Reversals (1 ) — (1 ) Payments (45 ) (8 ) (53 ) Foreign Currency (4 ) — (4 ) Balance at December 31, 2014 51 2 53 Provisions 85 8 93 Reversals (4 ) — (4 ) Payments (49 ) (9 ) (58 ) Acquisitions 2 — 2 Foreign Currency (6 ) — (6 ) Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 79 $ 1 $ 80 Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in estimating restructuring expenses, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially estimated. Accordingly, the Company reduced its liability previously recorded in 2015 , 2014 and 2013 by $4 million , $1 million , and $4 million . Restructuring expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 primarily relate to EMEA locations aimed at reducing production complexities and reducing inefficiencies in indirect and fixed costs structures. We expect to complete these programs in 2017 and incur additional restructuring and other charges of approximately $10 million . For programs previously initiated, we expect to complete these programs in 2018 and incur additional restructuring and other charges of approximately $10 million .

ACQUISITIONS	ACQUISITIONS Affinia Chassis Business Acquisition On May 1, 2014, the Company completed the Affinia chassis business acquisition. This business serves leading U.S. aftermarket customers with private label chassis product lines and will allow the Company to broaden its product offering, provide operational synergies and better service customers globally. The purchase price was $149 million , net of acquired cash. The Company paid $140 million in the second quarter of 2014 and $9 million in the third quarter of 2014. A valuation of the assets from the Affinia chassis business acquisition resulted in $71 million allocated to tangible net assets, $26 million allocated to goodwill, and $52 million allocated to other intangible assets, primarily customer relationships, based on estimated fair values as of the acquisition date as determined by third party valuation specialists. The valuation of assets was performed utilizing cost, income, and market approaches. Honeywell Brake Component Acquisition On July 11, 2014, the Company completed the purchase of certain business assets of the Honeywell brake component business including two recently established manufacturing facilities in China and Romania which substantially strengthens the manufacturing and engineering capabilities of the Company's current global braking portfolio. The business was acquired through a combination of asset and stock purchases for a base purchase price of $168 million and other incurred liabilities of $15 million . A valuation of the assets from the Honeywell brake component business acquisition was performed utilizing cost, income and market approaches resulting in $183 million allocated to tangible net assets. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Fair Value Cash, net of assumed debt $ 6 Accounts receivable, net 107 Inventory, net 74 Property, plant and equipment, net 178 Accounts payable (107 ) Acquired postretirement benefits (81 ) Other net assets 6 Total identifiable net assets $ 183 TRW’s Valvetrain Business Acquisition Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Share and Asset Purchase Agreement dated January 23, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of TRW’s valvetrain business.

HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED

HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS	12 Months Ended

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS	HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS Held-for-Sale Operations The Company classifies assets and liabilities as held for sale ("disposal group") when management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the disposal group, the sale is probable within one year, and the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. The Company also considers whether an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, whether the disposal group is marketed actively for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and whether actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. The Company aggregates the assets and aggregate liabilities of all held-for-sale disposal groups on the balance sheet for the period in which the disposal group is held for sale. In the fourth quarter 2015, the Company entered into a share agreement to sell 100% of the shares of one of its subsidiaries in the Powertrain segment and classified the assets and liabilities as held for sale. The purchase price for the shares was €1 . Prior to December 31, 2015, the Company contributed $12 million in cash to the subsidiary. The sale closed on January 1, 2016. The assets and liabilities that were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2015 were as follows: Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 12 Receivables 1 Inventories 3 Impairment on carrying value (12 ) Total assets held-for-sale $ 4 Liabilities Trade payables $ 1 Accrued liabilities 1 Other liabilities 3 Total liabilities held-for-sale $ 5 After the effect of amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income, mainly foreign currency translation adjustments of ($1) million as well as additional liabilities the Company will retain as agreed upon per the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company has recognized an impairment loss of $12 million which has been included "Restructuring charges and asset impairments, net" in the consolidated statements of operations. Discontinued Operations In connection with its strategic planning process, the Company assesses its operations for market position, product technology and capability, and profitability. Those businesses not core to the Company’s long-term portfolio may be considered for divestiture or other exit activities. During the year ended December 31, 2015 , the Company's Motorparts segment recognized a $7 million adjustment (no income tax effect) which is included in “Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” within the consolidated statement of operations. During September 2013, the Company's Motorparts segment completed the divestiture of its fuel pump business. This disposal resulted in a $7 million net gain (inclusive of a $2 million tax benefit), which is included in “Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” during the year ended December 31, 2013. The termination of those employees and the related reduction in the average remaining future service period to the full eligibility date of the remaining active plan participants in the U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan triggered a $19 million OPEB curtailment gain which is included in " Restructuring charges and asset impairments, net " within the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2013. During June 2013, the Company’s Powertrain Segment completed the divestiture of its connecting rod manufacturing facility located in Canada and its camshaft foundry located in the United Kingdom. This disposal resulted in a $6 million net loss (no income tax effect), which is included in “Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” during the year ended December 31, 2013. During March 2013, the Company’s Powertrain Segment completed the divestiture of its sintered components operations located in France. This disposal resulted in a $48 million net loss (no income tax effect), which is included in “Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” during the year ended December 31, 2013. Operating results related to discontinued operations are as follows: Year Ended December 31 2015 2014 2013 Net sales $ — $ — $ 119 Cost of products sold — — (119 ) Gross profit — — — Selling, general and administrative expenses — — (6 ) Adjustment of assets to fair value — — — Other income (expense), net 7 — 1 Operating loss (no income tax effect) 7 — (5 ) Loss on sale of discontinued operations (net of tax benefit of $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013) — — (47 ) Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax $ 7 $ — $ (52 )

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVIT

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2015
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company is exposed to market risk, such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and changes in interest rates, which may result in cash flow risks. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, the Company aggregates the exposures on a consolidated basis to take advantage of natural offsets. For exposures that are not offset within its operations, the Company enters into various derivative transactions pursuant to its risk management policies, which prohibit holding or issuing derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes, and designation of derivative instruments is performed on a transaction basis to support hedge accounting. The changes in fair value of these hedging instruments are offset in part or in whole by corresponding changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. The Company assesses the initial and ongoing effectiveness of its hedging relationships in accordance with its documented policy. Commodity Price Risk The Company’s production processes are dependent upon the supply of certain raw materials that are exposed to price fluctuations on the open market. The primary purpose of the Company’s commodity price forward contract activity is to manage the volatility associated with forecasted purchases. The Company monitors its commodity price risk exposures regularly to maximize the overall effectiveness of its commodity forward contracts. Principal raw materials hedged include, copper, tin, high-grade aluminum, aluminum alloy and brass. Forward contracts are used to mitigate commodity price risk associated with raw materials, generally related to purchases forecast for up to fifteen months in the future. Information regarding the Company’s outstanding commodity price hedge contracts is as follows: December 31 2015 2014 Combined notional value $ 28 $ 36 Combined notional value designated as hedging instruments $ 28 $ 36 Unrealized net (loss) recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” $ (2 ) $ (1 ) Foreign Currency Risk The Company manufactures and sells its products in North America, South America, Asia, Europe and Africa. As a result, the Company’s financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets in which the Company manufactures and sells its products. The Company generally tries to use natural hedges within its foreign currency activities, including the matching of revenues and costs, to minimize foreign currency risk. Where natural hedges are not in place, the Company considers managing certain aspects of its foreign currency activities and larger transactions through the use of foreign currency options or forward contracts. Principal currencies hedged have historically included the euro, British pound and Polish zloty. Foreign currency forwards are also used in conjunction with the Company's commodity hedging program. In order to obtain critical terms match for commodity exposure, the Company engages the use of foreign exchange contracts. The Company did not hold any foreign currency price hedge contracts at December 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014 . Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments including cash equivalents, derivative contracts, and accounts receivable, expose the Company to counter-party credit risk for non-performance. The Company’s counterparties for cash equivalents and derivative contracts are banks and financial institutions that meet the Company’s requirement of high credit standing. The Company’s counterparties for derivative contracts are substantial investment and commercial banks with significant experience using such derivatives. The Company manages its credit risk through policies requiring minimum credit standing and limiting credit exposure to any one counter-party and through monitoring counter-party credit risks. The Company’s concentration of credit risk related to derivative contracts at December 31, 2015 and 2014 is not material. Other The Company presents its derivative positions and any related material collateral under master netting agreements on a net basis. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the time value are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company estimates the fair value of its derivative contracts using an income approach based on valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single, discounted amount. Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency and commodity derivative instruments are determined using exchange traded prices and rates. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Assets and liabilities measured and disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2015 and 2014 are set forth in the table below: Asset (Liability) Level 2 December 31, 2015: Commodity contracts $ (3 ) $ (3 ) December 31, 2014: Commodity contracts $ (1 ) $ (1 ) The Company calculates the fair value of its commodity contracts and foreign currency contracts using quoted commodity forward rates and quoted currency forward rates, to calculate forward values, and then discounts the forward values. The discount rates for all derivative contracts are based on quoted bank deposit rates. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we also have assets that may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As these items are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, they are not included in the tables above. These assets include, long-lived assets, intangible assets and investments in affiliates which may be written down to fair value as a result of impairment. The Company has determined the fair value measurements related to each of these assets rely primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Company's assumptions about the use of the assets, as observable inputs are not available. As such, the Company has determined that each of these fair value measurements reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. To determine the fair value of long-lived assets, the Company utilizes the projected cash flows expected to be generated by the long-lived assets, then discounts the future cash flows over the useful life of the long-lived assets by using a risk-adjusted rate for the Company. The Company records asset impairments associated with its determination of the fair value of its long-lived assets that exhibited indicators of impairment. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the Company recorded impairment charges of $20 million and $19 million related to property, plant, and equipment, which have been recorded within " Restructuring charges and asset impairments, net " in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company's impairments related to Goodwill are discussed further in Note 11 , Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . The Company's investment in nonconsolidated affiliates is discussed further in Note 12 , Investment in Nonconsolidated Affiliates . Financial Instruments not Carried at Fair Value Estimated fair values of the Company’s term loans under the Credit Agreement were: As of December 31, 2015 2014 Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Measurement Approach Term Loans $ 2,559 $ 2,273 $ 2,583 $ 2,571 Level 2 Fair value approximates carrying value for foreign debt as well as the U.S. revolver. Fair market values are developed by the use of estimates obtained from brokers and other appropriate valuation techniques based on information available as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 . The fair value estimates do not necessarily reflect the values the Company could realize in the current markets.

The Company utilizes the straight line method of amortization, recognized over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company’s developed technology intangible assets have useful lives of between 9 and 15 years. The Company’s customer relationships intangible assets have useful lives of between 2 and 24 years. The Company’s estimated future amortization expense for its definite-lived intangible assets is as follows: 2016 $ 58 2017 58 2018 49 2019 49 2020 49 Thereafter 141 $ 404 Goodwill The Company conducts its review for goodwill impairments on October 1 of each year for all reporting units. Powertrain Based on our annual goodwill impairment testing we determined that goodwill was impaired for three reporting units within the Powertrain segment, as the fair values decreased below their carrying values. The decreases in fair values during 2015 were driven by decreases in operating results for these reporting units. Based on the results of our annual goodwill impairment test, we recorded an estimate of goodwill impairment charges of $44 million in the year ended December 31, 2015 in our Powertrain segment. Due to the complexity of the second step goodwill impairment test, the Company did not finalize its assessment prior to filing its annual report. Motorparts As part of an interim goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2015, the Company determined there were impairment indicators for one of its reporting units and conducted an impairment analysis. Decreases in operating results for certain reporting units as a result of the negative effect of exchange rates and negative economic conditions resulted in impairment indicators prior to the annual impairment assessment. Based on the results of our interim goodwill impairment tests, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $56 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015 in our Motorparts segment. Based on the results of our annual goodwill impairment tests, there were no additional goodwill impairment charges in the year ended December 31, 2015 in our Motorparts segment. Due to the complexity of the 2014 second step goodwill impairment test, the Company did not finalize its assessment until the first quarter of 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company concluded its assessment of the step two goodwill impairment analysis as of October 1, 2014 and recorded a reduction of $6 million to its initial estimate of the goodwill impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2014. Additional declines in operating results or forecasts due to a strengthening of the US dollar or deterioration of economic conditions could result in an impairment charge in future periods. For the year ended December 31, 2014 , the Company noted impairment indicators existed in one reporting unit within the Motorparts segment. Among other factors, this reporting unit experienced lower than expected profits and cash flows resulting from decreases in volumes and pricing pressure from customers towards the end of 2014. As a result of these impairment indicators, the Company concluded that there was also a potential impairment of its long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets. These impairment tests were performed before the goodwill impairment test, and an impairment loss related to long-lived assets of $7 million was recognized prior to goodwill being tested for impairment. The Company then tested goodwill for impairment and determined the carrying value of one reporting unit, within the Motorparts segment, exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, as part of a step two goodwill impairment test, the Company made a preliminary conclusion that the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of that goodwill and an impairment loss of $120 million was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2014 . Fair Value Measurements The fair values of the Company's reporting units were determined based on valuation techniques using the best available information, primarily discounted cash flow projections. These fair values require the Company to make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, growth rates, market share and discount rates that represent unobservable inputs into our valuation methodologies. The cash flows are estimated over a significant future period of time, which makes those estimates and assumptions subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Where available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples and the quoted market price of our common stock are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow method. Assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis that have the most significant effect on the estimated fair value of the Company's reporting units are: • the weighted average cost of capital • revenue growth-rates Reporting Units The Company has nine reporting units that have goodwill as of December 31, 2015. The following table categorizes the Company’s goodwill by reporting unit as of October 1, 2015 according to the level of excess between the reporting unit’s fair value and carrying value giving effect to the 2015 impairment charges: Fair Value Exceeds Carrying Value Goodwill Reporting Units 1 - 2 < 15% $ 81 Reporting Units 3 - 9 > 15% 592 $ 673 As of December 31, 2014, the Motorparts segment moved from a product-centered reporting structure to a regional reporting structure in order to align with its regional focus. Other Intangible Assets The Company performs its annual trademarks and brand names impairment analysis as of October 1, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. This impairment analysis compares the fair values of these assets to the related carrying values, and impairment charges are recorded for any excess of carrying values over fair values. The fair values are based upon the prospective stream of hypothetical after-tax royalty cost savings discounted at rates that reflect the rates of return appropriate for these intangible assets. The Company had no trademark and brand name impairments from the October 1, 2015 and 2014 impairment analysis.

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS	PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS Defined Contribution Pension Plans The Company maintains certain defined contribution pension plans for eligible employees. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company amended its U.S. defined contribution plan to allow for an enhanced company match and company provided age-based contributions for eligible U.S. salaried and non-union hourly employees. The total expenses attributable to the Company’s defined contribution savings plan were $45 million , $45 million , and $42 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . The amounts contributed to defined contribution pension plans include contributions to multi-employer plans in France, Italy and the United States of $1 million during each of the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . None of the multiemployer plans in which the Company participates are individually significant. Defined Benefit Plans The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans and health care and life insurance benefits for certain employees and retirees around the world. Using appropriate actuarial methods and assumptions, the Company’s defined benefit pension plans and post-retirement benefits other than pensions are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits . There is also an unfunded nonqualified pension plan primarily covering U.S. executives. The funding policy for qualified defined benefit pension plans is to contribute the minimum required by applicable laws and regulations or to directly pay benefit payments where appropriate. At December 31, 2015 all legal funding requirements had been met. We expect to contribute $37 million to our U.S. qualified plans, $2 million to our U.S. non-qualified plans, and $33 million to our non-U.S. pension plans in 2016 . Other Postretirement Benefits - U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan The Company recognized aggregate OPEB curtailment gains of $38 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. In May 2013, the Company ceased operations at one of its U.S. manufacturing locations. As this location participated in the Company’s U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan, the Company had this plan re-measured due to its curtailment implications. The resulting reduction in the average remaining future service period to the full eligibility date of the remaining active plan participants in the Company’s U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan triggered the recognition of a $19 million OPEB curtailment gain, which was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2013, the Company completed the sale of its fuel manufacturing facility and research and development center located in the U.S., resulting in the termination of certain employees that participated in the Company's U.S. Welfare Benefit Plan. The resulting reduction in the average remaining future service period to the full eligibility date of the remaining active plan participants triggered the recognition of an additional OPEB curtailment gain of $19 million , which is included in gain on discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. Other Benefits The Company accounts for benefits to former or inactive employees paid after employment but before retirement pursuant to ASC Topic 712, Compensation – Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits . The liabilities for such U.S. and European postemployment benefits were $26 million and $25 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014 . The measurement date for all defined benefit plans is December 31. The following provides a reconciliation of the plans’ benefit obligations, plan assets, funded status and recognition in the consolidated balance sheets: Pension Benefits Other Postretirement United States Plans Non-U.S. Plans Benefits 2015 2014 2015 2014 2015 2014 Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation, beginning of year $ 1,291 $ 1,184 $ 575 $ 450 $ 368 $ 335 Service cost 3 3 16 12 — — Interest cost 48 52 10 16 13 15 Employee contributions — — — — — — Benefits paid (89 ) (96 ) (24 ) (28 ) (23 ) (26 ) Medicare subsidies received — — — — 3 1 Plan amendments — — — — — 8 Curtailments — — (3 ) (1 ) — — Settlements — (3 ) — — — — Actuarial losses (gains) and changes in actuarial assumptions (32 ) 151 (75 ) 112 (35 ) 36 Net transfers (out) in — — 45 73 — — Currency translation — — (57 ) (59 ) (3 ) (1 ) Benefit obligation, end of year $ 1,221 $ 1,291 $ 487 $ 575 $ 323 $ 368 Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets, beginning of year $ 912 $ 909 $ 54 $ 55 $ — $ — Actual return on plan assets (27 ) 43 2 3 — — Employee contributions — — — — — — Company contributions 74 56 30 30 20 25 Benefits paid (89 ) (96 ) (24 ) (28 ) (23 ) (26 ) Expenses — — — — — — Medicare subsidies received — — — — 3 1 Currency translation — — (5 ) (6 ) — — Fair value of plan assets, end of year $ 870 $ 912 $ 57 $ 54 $ — $ — Funded status of the plan $ (351 ) $ (379 ) $ (430 ) $ (521 ) $ (323 ) $ (368 ) Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets: Current liabilities $ (2 ) $ (3 ) $ (14 ) $ (17 ) $ (24 ) $ (26 ) Noncurrent liabilities (a) (349 ) (376 ) (416 ) (504 ) (299 ) (342 ) Net amount recognized $ (351 ) $ (379 ) $ (430 ) $ (521 ) $ (323 ) $ (368 ) Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, inclusive of tax effects: Net actuarial loss $ 452 $ 409 $ 72 $ 151 $ 56 $ 95 Prior service cost (credit) — — 1 2 (10 ) (14 ) Total $ 452 $ 409 $ 73 $ 153 $ 46 $ 81 (a) The "Pension and Other Postemployment Benefits" line in the consolidated balance sheet includes $59 million and $60 million of postemployment benefits which are not included in the table above.

Long-term Rate of Return The Company’s expected return on assets is established annually through analysis of anticipated future long-term investment performance for the plan based upon the asset allocation strategy. While the study gives appropriate consideration to recent fund performance and historical returns, the assumption is primarily a long-term prospective rate. The study was performed in December 2015 resulting in changes to the expected long-term rate of return on assets. The weighted-average long-term rate of return on assets for the U.S. plans decreased from 6.6% at December 31, 2014 to 5.7% at December 31, 2015. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used in determining pension expense for non-U.S. plans is determined in a similar manner to the U.S. plans and decreased from 3.5% at December 31, 2014 to 3.2% at December 31, 2015. Health Care Trend The assumed health care and drug cost trend rates used to measure next year’s postemployment healthcare benefits are as follows: Other 2015 2014 Initial health care cost trend rate 6.97 % 7.25 % Ultimate health care cost trend rate 5.00 % 5.00 % Year ultimate health care cost trend rate reached 2022 2022 The assumed health care cost trend rate has a significant effect on the amounts reported for Other Postretirement Benefits plans. The following table illustrates the sensitivity to a change in the assumed health care cost trend rate: Total Service and Interest Cost APBO 100 basis point (“bp”) increase in health care cost trend rate $ 1 $ 28 100 bp decrease in health care cost trend rate (1 ) (24 ) Projected benefit payments from the plans are estimated as follows: Pension Benefits Other United States Non-U.S. Plans 2016 $ 84 $ 24 $ 24 2017 85 24 24 2018 88 23 24 2019 88 24 24 2020 87 25 24 Years 2021-2025 399 135 110 Plan Assets Certain pension plans sponsored by the Company invest in a diversified portfolio consisting of an array of asset classes that attempts to maximize returns while minimizing volatility. These asset classes include developed market equities, emerging market equities, private equity, global high quality and high yield fixed income, real estate, and absolute return strategies. U.S. Plan As of December 31, 2015, plan assets were comprised of 61% equity investments, 23% fixed income investments, and 16% in other investments which include hedge funds. Approximately 73% of the U.S. plan assets were invested in actively managed investment funds. The Company’s investment strategy includes a target asset allocation of 50% equity investments, 25% fixed income investments and 25% in other investment types including hedge funds. The U.S. investment strategy mitigates risk by incorporating diversification across appropriate asset classes to meet the plan’s objectives. It is intended to reduce risk, provide long-term financial stability for the plan and maintain funded levels that meet long-term plan obligations while preserving sufficient liquidity for near-term benefit payments. Risk assumed is considered appropriate for the return anticipated and consistent with the diversification of plan assets. Non-U.S. Plans The insurance contracts guarantee a minimum rate of return. The Company has no input into the investment strategy of the assets underlying the contracts, but they are typically heavily invested in active bond markets and are highly regulated by local law. The majority of the assets of the non-U.S. plans are invested through insurance contracts. The insurance contracts guarantee a minimum rate of return. The Company has no input into the investment strategy of the assets underlying the contracts, but they are typically heavily invested in active bond markets and are highly regulated by local law. The target asset allocation for the non-U.S. pension plans is 70% insurance contracts, 25% debt investments and 5% equity investments.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The components of (loss) income from continuing operations before income taxes consist of the following: Year Ended December 31 2015 2014 2013 Domestic $ (89 ) $ (64 ) $ 28 International 8 (41 ) 129 Total $ (81 ) $ (105 ) $ 157 Significant components of the (expense) benefit for income taxes are as follows: Year Ended December 31 2015 2014 2013 Current: Federal, state and local $ — $ (4 ) $ (3 ) International (47 ) (32 ) (55 ) Total current (47 ) (36 ) (58 ) Deferred: Federal, state and local — — (3 ) International 17 (20 ) 5 Total deferred 17 (20 ) 2 $ (30 ) $ (56 ) $ (56 ) The reconciliation of income taxes computed at the United States federal statutory tax rate to income tax (expense) benefit is: Year Ended December 31 2015 2014 2013 Income tax (expense) benefit at United States statutory rate $ 28 $ 37 $ (55 ) Tax effect from: Goodwill impairment (31 ) (42 ) — U.S. income inclusions from foreign subsidiaries (6 ) (7 ) (5 ) Non-consolidated foreign affiliates 17 15 11 Tax holidays, incentives and minimum tax 10 2 14 Foreign rate variance and enacted rate change 9 24 11 State income taxes — (4 ) (3 ) Uncertain tax positions and assessments 5 31 (14 ) Valuation allowances (46 ) (105 ) (15 ) Withholding taxes (7 ) — — Other (9 ) (7 ) — Income tax (expense) benefit $ (30 ) $ (56 ) $ (56 ) The following table summarizes the Company’s total (provision) benefit for income taxes by component: Year Ended December 31 2015 2014 2013 Income tax (expense) benefit $ (30 ) $ (56 ) $ (56 ) Allocated to equity: Postemployment benefits (27 ) 108 (83 ) Derivatives — — (2 ) Foreign currency translation (11 ) (12 ) (1 ) Valuation allowances 7 (84 ) 77 Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: December 31 2015 2014 Deferred tax assets Net operating loss carryforwards $ 944 $ 895 Postemployment benefits, including pensions 327 368 Reorganization costs 5 11 Inventory 67 63 Other temporary differences 117 78 Tax credits 115 129 Total deferred tax assets 1,575 1,544 Valuation allowances for deferred tax assets (1,307 ) (1,314 ) Net deferred tax assets 268 230 Deferred tax liabilities Investment in U.S. subsidiaries (307 ) (307 ) Intangible assets (142 ) (156 ) Fixed assets (92 ) (31 ) Total deferred tax liabilities (541 ) (494 ) $ (273 ) $ (264 ) Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as follows: December 31 2015 2014 Assets: Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ — $ 44 Other noncurrent assets 94 81 Liabilities: Deferred income taxes (367 ) (389 ) $ (273 ) $ (264 ) In 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes , which requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as related valuation allowances, to be classified as non-current rather than as current and non-current based on the classification of the related assets and liabilities. The Company adopted the provisions of this update in 2015. Accordingly, $45 million and $16 million of deferred taxes have been reclassified from other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, to other long-term assets and other accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance related to its net deferred tax assets in multiple jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2015 , the Company had valuation allowances of $966 million related to tax loss and credit carryforwards. The current and future provision for income taxes may be significantly affected by changes to valuation allowances in certain countries. These allowances will be maintained until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowance is eliminated. At December 31, 2015 , the Company had a deferred tax asset before valuation allowance of $1,059 million for tax loss carryforwards and tax credits, including: $660 million in the United States with expiration dates from 2016 through 2035; $132 million in the United Kingdom with no expiration date; and $267 million in other jurisdictions with various expiration dates. The Company has also concluded that there is a more than remote possibility that existing valuation allowances of up to $157 million as of December 31, 2015 could be released within the next 12 months. If releases of such valuation allowances occur, they may have a significant effect on results of operations in the quarter in which it is deemed appropriate to release the reserve. Income taxes paid, net of income tax refunds received, were $44 million , $42 million and $38 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . The Company did not record taxes on its undistributed earnings of $879 million at December 31, 2015 since these earnings are considered by the Company to be permanently reinvested. If at some future date these earnings cease to be permanently reinvested, the Company may be subject to United States income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on such amounts. Determining the unrecognized deferred tax liability on the potential distribution of these earnings is not practicable as such liability, if any, is dependent on circumstances existing when remittance occurs. As of December 31, 2015 , the Company had $194 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $95 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. The Company asserts that these funds are indefinitely reinvested due to operational and investing needs of the foreign locations. Furthermore, the Company will accrue any applicable taxes in the period when the Company no longer intends to indefinitely reinvest these funds. The Company would expect that the effect on cash taxes would be immaterial due to: the availability of net operation loss carryforwards and related valuation allowances; earnings considered previously taxed; and applicable tax treaties. At December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , the Company had total unrecognized tax benefits of $37 million , $50 million and $78 million . Of these totals, $29 million , $44 million and $47 million , represent the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rates. The total unrecognized tax benefits differ from the amounts which would affect the effective tax rates primarily due to the effect of valuation allowances. A summary of the changes in the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 are shown below: Year Ended December 31 2015 2014 2013 Change in unrecognized tax benefits Balance at January 1 $ 50 $ 78 $ 69 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 6 7 7 Additions for tax positions of prior years 6 10 6 Decreases for tax positions of prior years (10 ) (14 ) (4 ) Decreases for statute of limitations expiration (4 ) (1 ) (1 ) Settlements (6 ) (25 ) 2 Effect of currency translation (5 ) (5 ) (1 ) Balance at December 31 $ 37 $ 50 $ 78 The Company classifies tax-related penalties and net interest as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , the Company recorded $7 million , $12 million and $23 million in liabilities for tax-related net interest and penalties on its consolidated balance sheet. During the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , the Company recorded income tax (expense) benefit related to a net change in its liability for interest and penalties of $(5) million , $11 million and $(8) million . The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2011 or state and local for years before 2008, with limited exceptions. Furthermore, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations in major foreign tax jurisdictions for years prior to 2005. The income tax returns of foreign subsidiaries in various tax jurisdictions are currently under examination. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits in multiple jurisdictions, which primarily relate to transfer pricing, corporate reorganization and various other matters, may decrease by approximately $2 million in the next 12 months due to audit settlements or statute expirations, of which approximately $1 million , if recognized, could affect the effective tax rate. On July 11, 2013, Federal-Mogul Corporation became part of the Icahn Enterprises. L.P. affiliated group of corporations as defined in Section 1504 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("the Code"), as amended, of which American Entertainment Properties Corp. (“AEP”) is the common parent. The Company subsequently entered into a Tax Allocation Agreement (the “Tax Allocation Agreement”) with AEP. Pursuant to the Tax Allocation Agreement, AEP and the Company have agreed to the allocation of certain income tax items. The Company will join AEP in the filing of AEP’s federal consolidated return and certain state consolidated returns. In those jurisdictions where the Company is filing consolidated returns with AEP, the Company will pay to AEP any tax it would have owed had it continued to file separately. To the extent that the AEP consolidated group is able to reduce its tax liability as a result of including the Company in its consolidated group, AEP will pay the Company an amount equal to 20% of such reduction and the Company will carryforward for its own use under the Tax Allocation Agreement 80% of the items that caused the tax reduction (the “Excess Tax Benefits”). While a member of the AEP affiliated group, the Company will reduce the amounts it would otherwise owe AEP by the Excess Tax Benefits. Moreover, if the Company should ever become deconsolidated from AEP, AEP will reimburse the Company for any tax liability in post-consolidation years the Company would not have paid had it actually had the Excess Tax Benefits for its own use. The cumulative payments to the Company by AEP post-consolidation cannot exceed the cumulative reductions in tax to the AEP group resulting from including the Company in its consolidation group. Separate return methodology will be used in determining income taxes.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Environmental Matters The Company is a defendant in lawsuits filed, or the recipient of administrative orders issued or demand letters received, in various jurisdictions pursuant to the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”) or other similar national, provincial or state environmental remedial laws. These laws provide that responsible parties may be liable to pay for remediating contamination resulting from hazardous substances that were discharged into the environment by them, by prior owners or occupants of property they currently own or operate, or by others to whom they sent such substances for treatment or other disposition at third party locations. The Company has been notified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, other national environmental agencies, and various provincial and state agencies that it may be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under such laws for the cost of remediating hazardous substances pursuant to CERCLA and other national and state or provincial environmental laws. PRP designation typically requires the funding of site investigations and subsequent remedial activities. Many of the sites that are likely to be the costliest to remediate are often current or former commercial waste disposal facilities to which numerous companies sent wastes. Despite the potential joint and several liability which might be imposed on the Company under CERCLA and some of the other laws pertaining to these sites, the Company’s share of the total waste sent to these sites has generally been small. The Company believes its exposure for liability at these sites is limited. On a global basis, the Company has also identified certain other present and former properties at which it may be responsible for cleaning up or addressing environmental contamination, in some cases as a result of contractual commitments and/or federal or state environmental laws. The Company is actively seeking to resolve these actual and potential statutory, regulatory and contractual obligations. Although difficult to quantify based on the complexity of the issues, the Company has accrued amounts corresponding to its best estimate of the costs associated with such regulatory and contractual obligations on the basis of available information from site investigations and best professional judgment of consultants. Total environmental liabilities, determined on an undiscounted basis are included in the consolidated balance sheets as follows: December 31, December 31, 2015 2014 Other current liabilities $ 4 $ 6 Other accrued liabilities (noncurrent) 10 9 $ 14 $ 15 Management believes that recorded environmental liabilities will be adequate to cover the Company’s estimated liability for its exposure in respect to such matters. In the event that such liabilities were to significantly exceed the amounts recorded by the Company, the Company’s results of operations and financial condition could be materially affected. At December 31, 2015 , management estimates that reasonably possible material additional losses above and beyond management’s best estimate of required remediation costs as recorded approximate $45 million . Asset Retirement Obligations The Company records asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) in accordance with ASC Topic 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations . The Company’s primary ARO activities relate to the removal of hazardous building materials at its facilities. The Company records an ARO at fair value upon initial recognition when the amount can be reasonably estimated, typically upon the expectation that an operating site may be closed or sold. ARO fair values are determined based on the Company’s determination of what a third party would charge to perform the remediation activities, generally using a present value technique. For those sites that the Company identifies in the future for closure or sale, or for which it otherwise believes it has a reasonable basis to assign probabilities to a range of potential settlement dates, the Company will review these sites for both ARO and impairment issues. The Company has identified sites with contractual obligations and several sites that are closed or expected to be closed and sold. In connection with these sites, the Company maintains ARO liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as follows: December 31, December 31, 2015 2014 Other current liabilities $ 2 $ 3 Other accrued liabilities (noncurrent) 14 21 $ 16 $ 24 The following is a rollforward of the Company’s ARO liability for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014: Balance at December 31, 2013 $ 26 Liabilities incurred — Liabilities settled/adjustments (1 ) Foreign Currency (1 ) Balance at December 31, 2014 24 Liabilities incurred — Liabilities settled/adjustments (6 ) Foreign Currency (2 ) Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 16 The Company has conditional asset retirement obligations (“CARO”), primarily related to removal costs of hazardous materials in buildings, for which it believes reasonable cost estimates cannot be made at this time because the Company does not believe it has a reasonable basis to assign probabilities to a range of potential settlement dates for these retirement obligations. Accordingly, the Company is currently unable to determine amounts to accrue for CARO at such sites. Affiliate Pension Obligations As a result of the more than 80% ownership interest in the Company by Mr. Icahn’s affiliates, the Company is subject to the pension liabilities of all entities in which Mr. Icahn has a direct or indirect ownership interest of at least 80% . One such entity, ACF Industries LLC ("ACF"), is the sponsor of several pension plans. All the minimum funding requirements of the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 for these plans have been met as of December 31, 2015 . If the ACF plans were voluntarily terminated, they would be underfunded by approximately $101 million as of December 31, 2015 . These results are based on the most recent information provided by the plans’ actuaries. These liabilities could increase or decrease, depending on a number of factors, including future changes in benefits, investment returns, and the assumptions used to calculate the liability. As members of the controlled group, the Company would be liable for any failure of ACF to make ongoing pension contributions or to pay the unfunded liabilities upon a termination of the pension plans of ACF. In addition, other entities now or in the future within the controlled group in which the Company is included may have pension plan obligations that are, or may become, underfunded and the Company would be liable for any failure of such entities to make ongoing pension contributions or to pay the unfunded liabilities upon termination of such plans. Further, the failure to pay these pension obligations when due may result in the creation of liens in favor of the pension plan or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) against the assets of each member of the controlled group. The current underfunded status of the pension plans of ACF requires it to notify the PBGC of certain “reportable events,” such as if the Company ceases to be a member of the ACF controlled group, or the Company makes certain extraordinary dividends or stock redemptions. The obligation to report could cause the Company to seek to delay or reconsider the occurrence of such reportable events. Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. and IEH FM Holdings LLC have undertaken to indemnify the Company for any and all liability imposed upon the Company pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or any regulation thereunder (“ERISA”) resulting from the Company being considered a member of a controlled group within the meaning of ERISA § 4001(a)(14) of which American Entertainment Properties Corporation is a member, except with respect to liability in respect to any employee benefit plan, as defined by ERISA § 3(3), maintained by the Company. Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. and IEH FM Holdings LLC are not required to maintain any specific net worth and there can be no guarantee Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. and IEH FM Holdings LLC will be able to fund its indemnification obligations to the Company. Other Matters On April 25, 2014, a group of plaintiffs brought an action against Federal-Mogul Products, Inc. (“F-M Products”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, alleging injuries and damages associated with the discharge of chlorinated hydrocarbons by the former owner of a facility located in Kentucky. Since 1998, when F-M Products acquired the facility, it has been cooperating with the applicable regulatory agencies on remediating the prior discharges pursuant to an order entered into by the facility’s former owner. The Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible range of loss for reasons including that the plaintiffs did not claim any amount of damages in their complaint. F-M Products intends to vigorously defend this litigation. The Company is involved in other legal actions and claims, directly and through its subsidiaries. Management does not believe that the outcomes of these other actions or claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The SARs granted in February 2012 (“2012 SARs”) and in February 2011 (“2011 SARs”) vested 25.0% on grant date and 25.0% on each of the next three anniversaries of the grant date. The SARs granted in February 2010 (“2010 SARs”) vest 33.3% on each of the three anniversaries of the grant date. All SARs have a term of five years from date of grant. The SARs are payable in cash or, at the election of the Company, in stock. As the Company anticipates paying out SARs exercises in the form of cash, the SARs are being treated as liability awards for accounting purposes. The Company has total outstanding awards of approximately 603,000 , 796,000 and 1,259,000 as of December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . All 2010 SARs have expired as of December 31, 2015 . The Company recognized SARs income of $1 million and $4 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and SARs expense of $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 .

As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic in those periods, as any potentially dilutive securities would reduce the loss per share. Warrants to purchase 6,951,871 common shares, which expired December 27, 2014, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 . As required by ASC Topic 710, Compensation, there are 500,000 common shares issued in connection with a deferred compensation agreement that are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2014.

OPERATIONS BY REPORTING SEGMENT

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
OPERATIONS BY REPORTING SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA	OPERATIONS BY REPORTING SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA The Company operates with two end-customer focused business segments. The Powertrain segment focuses on original equipment powertrain products for automotive, heavy duty, and industrial applications. The Motorparts segment sells and distributes a broad portfolio of products in the global aftermarket, while also serving original equipment manufacturers with products including braking, wipers, and a limited range of chassis components. This organizational model allows for a strong product line focus benefitting both original equipment and aftermarket customers and enables the Company to be responsive to customers’ needs for superior products and to promote greater identification with its premium brands. Additionally, this organizational model enhances management focus to capitalize on opportunities for organic or acquisition growth, profit improvement, resource utilization, and business model optimization in line with the unique requirements of the two different customer bases. Reporting units are components of the Company’s reporting segments (which are also its operating segments) and generally align with specific product groups for Powertrain and regions for Motorparts for which segment managers regularly review operating results. Management utilizes Operational EBITDA as the key performance measure of segment profitability and uses the measure in its financial and operational decision making processes; for internal reporting; and for planning and forecasting purposes to effectively allocate resources. Operational EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), as adjusted for additional amounts. Examples of these adjustments include impairment charges related to goodwill, other long-lived assets and investments; restructuring charges; certain gains or losses on the settlement/extinguishment of obligations; and receivable financing charges. During 2015, the Company modified its definition of Operational EBITDA to adjust for financing charges related to certain receivable financing programs. Comparable periods have been adjusted to conform to this definition. Operational EBITDA presents a performance measure exclusive of capital structure and the method by which net assets were acquired, disposed of, or financed. Management believes this measure provides additional transparency into its core operations and is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of the Company’s operating segments and reporting units. The measure also allows management and investors to view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and among operating segments. Operational EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to Operational EBITDA that is in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Operational EBITDA, as determined and measured by the Company, should not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUM33

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Financial Statement Presentation	The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
Principles Of Consolidation	The Company consolidates into its financial statements the accounts of the Company, all wholly-owned subsidiaries, and any partially-owned subsidiary that the Company has the ability to control. Control generally equates to ownership percentage, whereby investments that are more than 50% owned are consolidated, investments in affiliates of 50% or less but greater than 20% are accounted for using the equity method, and investments in affiliates of 20% or less are accounted for using the cost method. See Note 12 , Investment in Nonconsolidated Affiliates , for discussion regarding the Company's subsidiaries that are subject to regulatory control. The Company does not consolidate any entity for which it has a variable interest based solely on power to direct the activities and significant participation in the entity’s expected results that would not otherwise be consolidated based on control through voting interests. Further, the Company’s affiliates are businesses established and maintained in connection with the Company’s operating strategy. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications from the prior year presentation have been made to conform to the current year presentation. Use of E
Use Of Estimates	Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.
Cash And Equivalents	Cash and Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	Concentrations of Credit Risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of accounts receivable, cash investments and derivative instruments. The Company’s customer base includes virtually every significant global light and commercial vehicle manufacturer and a large number of distributors, installers and retailers of automotive aftermarket parts. The Company’s credit evaluation process and the geographical dispersion of sales transactions help to mitigate credit risk concentration. No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales during 2015 and one customer accounts for approximately 11.2% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2015 . The Company requires placement of cash in financial institutions evaluated as highly creditworthy. See Note 7 for further discussion related to derivatives.
Divestitures	Divestitures : In connection with its strategic planning process, the Company assesses its operations for market position, product technology and capability, and profitability. Those businesses determined by management not to have a sustainable competitive advantage are considered non-core and may be considered for divestiture or other exit activities. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company divested its sintered components operations located in France, its connecting rod manufacturing facility located in Canada, its camshaft foundry located in the United Kingdom and its fuel pump business, which included an aftermarket business component and a manufacturing and research and development facility located in the United States. These divestitures have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 6 , Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations , for further details.
Trade Accounts Receivable And Allowance For Doubtful Accounts	Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: Trade accounts receivable is stated at net realizable value, which approximates fair value. The Company does not generally require collateral for its trade accounts receivable. Accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. This estimated allowance is based primarily on management’s evaluation of specific balances as the balances become past due, the financial condition of its customers, and the Company’s historical experience of write-offs. The Company’s general policy for uncollectible accounts, if not reserved through specific examination procedures, is to reserve based upon the aging categories of accounts receivable and whether amounts are due from an original equipment manufacturer or servicer (“OE”) or aftermarket customer. Past due status is based upon the invoice date of the original amounts outstanding. Included in selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses are bad debt expenses of $13 million , $5 million and $3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $27 million and $18 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 . Factoring of Accounts Receivable: The Company has subsidiaries in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy and the United States which are party to accounts receivable factoring and securitization facilities. Amounts factored under these facilities consist of the following: As of December 31 2015 2014 Gross accounts receivable factored $ 408 $ 306 Gross accounts receivable factored, qualifying as sales 401 293 Undrawn cash on factored accounts receivable 1 2 Proceeds from the factoring of accounts receivable qualifying as sales and expenses associated with the factoring of accounts receivable are as follows: Year Ended December 31 2015 2014 2013 Proceeds from factoring qualifying as sales $ 1,550 $ 1,679 $ 1,482 Financing charges (9 ) (6 ) (7 ) Accounts receivables factored but not qualifying as a sale, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing , were pledged as collateral and accounted for as secured borrowings and recorded in the consolidated balance sheets within “Accounts receivable, net” and “Short-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt.” The financing charges totaled $9 million as of December 31, 2015 and are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within “Other income (expense), net.” Where the Company receives a fee to service and monitor these transferred receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not recorded as a result of such activities. Certain of the facilities contain terms that require the Company to share in the credit risk of the sold receivables.
Inventories	Inventories: The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Cost of inventory includes direct materials, labor, and applicable manufacturing overhead costs. The value of inventories are reduced for excess and obsolescence based on management’s review of on-hand inventories compared to historical and estimated future sales and usage.
Long-Lived Assets	Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment are recorded at fair value established at acquisition or cost unless the expected future use of the assets indicate a lower value is appropriate. Definite-lived intangible assets have been stated at fair value established at acquisition or at cost. Long-lived assets are periodically reviewed for impairment indicators. If impairment indicators exist, the Company performs the required analysis and records an impairment charge, if required, in accordance with the subsequent measurement provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant & Equipment . If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Depreciation and amortization is computed principally by the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes.
Goodwill	Goodwill: Goodwill is determined as the excess of fair value over amounts attributable to specific tangible and intangible assets, including developed technology and customer relationships. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist, in accordance with the subsequent measurement provisions of ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other . This impairment analysis compares the fair values of the Company’s reporting units to their related carrying values. If a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, the Company must then calculate the reporting unit’s implied fair value of goodwill and impairment charges are recorded for any excess of the goodwill carrying value over the implied fair value of goodwill. The reporting units’ fair values are based upon consideration of various valuation methodologies, including projected future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risks involved, guideline transaction multiples, and multiples of current and future earnings.
Trademarks and Brand Names	Trademarks and Brand Names: Trademarks and brand names are stated at fair value established at acquisition or cost. These indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist, in accordance with the subsequent measurement provisions of ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other . This impairment analysis compares the fair values of these assets to the related carrying values, and impairment charges are recorded for any excess of carrying values over fair values. These fair values are based upon the prospective stream of hypothetical after-tax royalty cost savings discounted at rates that reflect the rates of return appropriate for these intangible assets.
Pension and Other Postemployment Obligations	Pension and Other Postretirement Obligations: The cost of benefits provided by defined benefit pension and postretirement plans is recorded in the period employees provide service. Future pension expense for certain significant funded benefit plans is calculated using an expected return on plan asset methodology. The market-related value of plan assets is fair value. Actuarial gains and losses are accumulated and amortized into net income once they exceed a corridor, which is 10% of the projected benefit obligation, over the expected future working lifetime or life expectancy of the plan participants. The discount rate assumption is established at the measurement date. In the U.S., the Company uses a cash flow matching approach that uses projected cash flows matched to spot rates along a high quality corporate yield curve to determine the present value of cash flows to calculate a single equivalent discount rate. The benefit obligation for pension plans in Belgium, France, and Germany represents 91% of the non-U.S. pension benefit obligation at December 31, 2015. The discount rates for plans in Belgium, France, and Germany are determined using a cash flow matching approach similar to the U.S. approach. Investments with registered investment companies, common and preferred stocks, and certain government debt securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the securities are traded. Corporate debt securities are valued by third-party pricing sources using the multi-dimensional relational model using instruments with similar characteristics. Hedge funds and the collective trust are valued at net asset value (NAV) per share which are provided by the respective investment sponsors or investment advisers.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition: The Company records sales when products are shipped and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and the collectability of revenue is reasonably assured. Accruals for sales returns and other allowances are provided at point of sale based upon past experience. Adjustments to such returns and allowances are made as new information becomes available.
Rebates	Rebates: The Company accrues for rebates pursuant to specific arrangements with certain customers, primarily in the aftermarket. Rebates generally provide for price reductions based upon the achievement of specified purchase volumes and are recorded as a reduction of sales as earned by such customers.
Sales and Sales Related Taxes	Sales and Sales Related Taxes: The Company collects and remits taxes assessed by various governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with revenue-producing transactions with its customers. These taxes may include, but are not limited to, sales, use, value-added, and some excise taxes. The collection of these taxes is reported on a net basis (excluded from revenues).
Shipping and Handling Costs	Shipping and Handling Costs: The Company recognizes shipping and handling costs as incurred as a component of "Cost of products sold" in the consolidated statements of operations.
Engineering and Tooling Costs	Engineering and Tooling Costs: Pre-production tooling and engineering costs that the Company will not own and that will be used in producing products under long-term supply arrangements are expensed as incurred unless the supply arrangement provides the Company with the noncancelable right to use the tools, or the reimbursement of such costs is agreed to by the customer. Pre-production tooling costs that are owned by the Company are capitalized as part of machinery and equipment, and are depreciated over the shorter of the tool’s expected life or the duration of the related program.
Research and Development	Research and Development: The Company expenses research and development (“R&D”) costs as incurred. R&D expense, including product engineering and validation costs, was $189 million , $192 million and $173 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . R&D expense is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within “Selling, general and administrative expenses.”
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs: Advertising and promotion expenses for continuing operations are expensed as incurred and were $48 million , $47 million , and $41 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . Advertising and promotion expenses are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within “Selling, general and administrative expenses.”
Restructuring	Restructuring: Restructuring is comprised of two types of costs: employee costs (principally termination benefits) and facility closure costs. Termination benefits are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 712, Compensation – Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits and are recorded when it is probable employees will be entitled to benefits and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Estimates of termination benefits are based on the frequency of past termination benefits, the similarity of benefits under the current plan and prior plans, and the existence of statutory required minimum benefits. Termination benefits are also accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (“ASC 420”), for one-time termination benefits and are recorded dependent upon future service requirements. Facility closure and other costs are accounted for in accordance with ASC 420 and are recorded when the liability is incurred.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation: Exchange adjustments related to international currency transactions and translation adjustments for international subsidiaries whose functional currency is the United States dollar (principally those located in highly inflationary economies) are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Translation adjustments of international subsidiaries for which the local currency is the functional currency are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.” Deferred taxes are not provided on translation adjustments as the earnings of the subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested.
Environmental Liabilities	Environmental Liabilities: The Company recognizes environmental liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations ("ASC 410") when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. Such liabilities are generally not subject to insurance coverage. Engineering and legal specialists within the Company estimate each environmental obligation based on current law and existing technologies. Such estimates are based primarily upon the estimated cost of investigation and remediation required and the likelihood that other potentially responsible parties will be able to fulfill their commitments at the sites where the Company may be jointly and severally liable with such parties. The Company regularly evaluates and revises its estimates for environmental obligations based on expenditures against established accruals and the availability of additional information.
Asset Retirement Obligations	Asset Retirement Obligations : The Company records asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) in accordance with ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations . The Company’s primary ARO activities relate to the removal of hazardous building materials at its facilities. The Company records AROs when liabilities are probable and amounts can be reasonably estimated.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company uses interest rate swaps, commodity forward contracts and currency swaps to manage volatility of underlying exposures. The Company recognizes all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated, and is effective, as a hedge and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. Gains and losses related to a hedge are either recognized in income immediately to offset the gain or loss on the hedged item or are deferred and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion of a financial instrument, determined using the hypothetical derivative method, is recognized in earnings immediately. The gain or loss related to financial instruments that are not designated as hedges are recognized immediately in earnings. Cash flows related to hedging activities are included in the operating section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company’s objectives for holding derivatives are to minimize risks using the most effective and cost-efficient methods available.
New Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605, Revenue Recognition . This ASU clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and provides a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards and will require revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Adoption of the new rules could affect the timing of revenue recognition for certain transactions. The FASB, through the issuance of ASU No. 2015-14, approved a one year delay of the effective date and the new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this pronouncement and the implementation approach to be used. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. This ASU amends existing guidance to require the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting to clarify the SEC staff’s position on presenting and measuring debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements. ASU No. 2015-15 is effective upon issuance. Upon adoption of aforementioned guidance the Company will present debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from its debt liability. The Company expects the retroactive adoption of this guidance will decrease debt by approximately $9 million as of December 31, 2015. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory . This ASU requires entities to measure most inventory “at the lower of cost and net realizable value,” thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. ASU No. 2015-11 is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this pronouncement. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments . Under this ASU, an acquirer must recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The effect on earnings of changes in depreciation or amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed as of the acquisition date, must be recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined rather than retrospectively. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods. The Company expects the adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on its financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . The amendments in this update simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes and require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. This update applies to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. These amendments may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. If the guidance is applied prospectively, disclosure is made in the first interim and first annual period of change, the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle and a statement that prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. If the guidance is applied retrospectively, disclosure is made in the first interim and first annual period of change, the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle and quantitative information about the effects of the accounting change on prior periods. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is allowed for any interim or annual financial statements that have not been issued. The Company has elected early to adopt this ASU for the year ended December 31, 2015 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . The updated guidance enhances the reporting model for financial instruments, which includes amendments to address aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. The amendments in the ASU are effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, with early adoption not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this pronouncement.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures	ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company estimates the fair value of its derivative contracts using an income approach based on valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single, discounted amount. Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency and commodity derivative instruments are determined using exchange traded prices and rates.
Intangibles Goodwill and Other	The Company conducts its review for goodwill impairments on October 1 of each year for all reporting units.
