Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	General
	Dana Holding Corporation (Dana) is headquartered in Maumee, Ohio and was incorporated in Delaware in 2007. As a global provider of high technology driveline (axles, driveshafts and transmissions), sealing and thermal-management products our customer base includes virtually every major vehicle manufacturer in the global light vehicle, medium/heavy vehicle and off-highway markets.
	The terms "Dana," "we," "our" and "us," when used in this report, are references to Dana. These references include the subsidiaries of Dana unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise.
	Summary of significant accounting policies
	Basis of presentation — Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information. These statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2013 Form 10-K. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation.
	Discontinued operations — We classify a business component that has been disposed of or classified as held for sale as discontinued operations if the cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from our ongoing operations and we will no longer have any significant continuing involvement in or with the component. The results of operations of our discontinued operations, including any gains or losses on disposition, are aggregated and presented on one line in the income statement. See Note 3 for additional information regarding our discontinued operations.
	Translation of financial statements of Venezuelan subsidiaries
	Venezuela’s economy is considered highly inflationary under GAAP. As such, we remeasure the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiaries as if their functional currency was the U.S. dollar.
	Prior to 2014, the Venezuelan government through its Commission for the Administration of Foreign Exchange (CADIVI) maintained a fixed official exchange rate. The official exchange rate was fixed at 4.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar until February 2013 when the Venezuelan government devalued the bolivar to 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar. We recorded a $6 charge in the first quarter of 2013 associated with the devaluation of the official exchange rate. After the devaluation, CADIVI allowed certain obligations existing at the date of the devaluation to be settled at the former 4.3 rate. During the last nine months of 2013, we recognized $5 of gains on claims settled at the former 4.3 rate. In March 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the creation of the Complementary System of Foreign Currency Administration (SICAD), a supplementary currency auction system regulated by the Central Bank of Venezuela for purchases of U.S. dollars by certain eligible importers. During 2013, our Venezuelan subsidiaries were not eligible to utilize SICAD and therefore we continued to use the official exchange rate to remeasure the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiaries.
	In the first quarter of 2014, the Venezuelan government transferred the administration of the official exchange rate to the National Center of Foreign Commerce (CENCOEX) and indicated that the official exchange rate of 6.3 would be increasingly reserved only for the settlement of U.S. dollar denominated obligations related to purchases of “essential goods and services.” In addition, the Venezuelan government expanded the entities and transactions that would be eligible to use SICAD. Transactions eligible for SICAD currently include foreign investments and payments of royalties. Also during the first quarter of 2014, the Venezuelan government announced the creation of SICAD 2, a market-based exchange mechanism regulated by the Central Bank of Venezuela. SICAD 2 may be used by all companies incorporated or domiciled in Venezuela who want to obtain U.S. dollars for any purpose.
	With the recent expansion of SICAD and the formation of SICAD 2 there is uncertainty surrounding transactions that CENCOEX will allow to be transacted at the official exchange rate. In consultation with legal counsel we have determined that the SICAD rate, which we believe would apply to dividend remittances, is the appropriate rate to remeasure the bolivar denominated net monetary assets of our Venezuelan subsidiaries. Effective March 31, 2014, we ceased using the official exchange rate of 6.3 and began using the SICAD rate, which was 10.7 bolivars per U.S. dollar (as published by the Central Bank of Venezuela) at March 31, 2014, to remeasure the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiaries.
	Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance to clarify financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. Generally, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. An exception exists to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose. If the exception applies, the unrecognized tax benefit must be presented in the financial statements as a liability and not combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and must be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. This guidance became effective January 1, 2014 and is consistent with our past practice, so adoption did not impact our financial condition or results of operations.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance to provide for the inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government and the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate. In addition, the guidance removed the restriction on using different benchmark interest rates for similar hedges. The guidance was effective upon issuance and can be applied for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance to clarify existing requirements for the release – the recognition of an amount in the income statement – of the cumulative translation adjustment. The guidance applies to the release of cumulative translation adjustment when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. It also applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment when there is a loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity or a step acquisition involving an equity method investment that is a foreign entity. The accounting for the financial interest within a foreign entity is the same regardless of the form of the transaction. This guidance, which became effective January 1, 2014, did not impact our financial condition or results of operations upon adoption but could affect our accounting for future transactions.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance related to obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements where the amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. Obligations within the scope of the guidance include certain debt arrangements and settled litigation but not contingencies, guarantees, retirement benefits or income taxes. Adoption of this guidance, which became effective January 1, 2014, did not impact our financial condition or results of operations.
	Recently issued accounting pronouncements
	In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance to provide clarity on whether to treat a performance target that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition that affects vesting or as a nonvesting condition that affects the grant-date fair value of a share-based payment award. Generally, an award with a performance target also requires an employee to render service until the performance target is achieved. In some cases, however, the terms of an award may provide that the performance target could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period. The amendment requires that a performance target that affects vesting and extends beyond the end of the service period be treated as a performance condition and not as a factor in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The guidance becomes effective January 1, 2016.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance that amends accounting and disclosures for repurchase agreements and similar transactions. Repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financings are to be accounted for as secured borrowings, which is consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements. The amendment also requires two new disclosures. The first disclosure requires an entity to disclose information on transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements. The second disclosure provides increased transparency about the types of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The guidance, which becomes effective January 1, 2015, could affect our accounting for future transactions.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance that requires companies to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration a company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance will also require new disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This guidance will be effective January 1, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The guidance allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that revises the definition of a discontinued operation. The revised definition limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on operations and financial results. The guidance also requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The guidance will apply to covered transactions that occur after 2014 but may be applied to the initial reporting of disposals completed or approved in 2014.

	Acquisitions and Divestitures
	Fallbrook — On September 10, 2012, we entered into a strategic alliance with Fallbrook Technologies Inc. (Fallbrook). Among the agreements executed was an exclusive license agreement allowing Dana to engineer, produce and sell transmission components and other advanced powertrain solutions with Fallbrook’s continuously variable planetary (CVP) technology for passenger and certain off-highway vehicles in the end markets Dana serves. The exclusive license agreement, along with an engineering services agreement and key engineers hired from Fallbrook, provide Dana with intellectual property, processes, techniques, technical data, training, designs and drawings related to the development, application, use, manufacture and production of the CVP technology. The transaction with Fallbrook has been accounted for as a business combination.
	Dana paid Fallbrook $20 under the exclusive license agreement for the markets licensed to Dana; $12 was paid in 2012 and $8 was paid in 2013. The aggregate fair value of the assets acquired of $20 has been allocated to intangible assets used in research and development activities which are initially classified as indefinite-lived with $12 and $8 assigned to our Off-Highway and Light Vehicle operating segments, respectively. We used the multi-period excess earnings method, an income approach, to value the intangible assets used in research and development activities.
	Divestiture of Structural Products business — In March 2010, we sold substantially all of the assets of our Structural Products business to Metalsa S.A. de C.V. (Metalsa). We had received cash proceeds of $134 through the end of 2011, excluding amounts related to working capital adjustments and tooling. An additional $10 remained as a receivable and was supported by funds held in escrow. Those funds were to be released to Dana by June 2012; however, the buyer presented claims to the escrow agent seeking indemnification from Dana. The escrow agent was precluded from releasing the funds held in escrow until Dana and the buyer resolved the issues underlying the claims. The parties reached a final agreement on the remaining issues in May 2014, resulting in the receipt of $9 from the escrow agent and a charge of $1 to other income, net within discontinued operations.

	Discontinued Operations
	The sale of substantially all of the assets of our Structural Products business in 2010 excluded the facility in Longview, Texas and its employees and manufacturing assets related to a significant customer contract. The customer contract was satisfied and operations concluded in August 2012. As a result of the cessation of all operations, the former Structural Products business has been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.
	The loss from discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2014 includes the charge that resulted from final settlement of the claims presented by the buyer while the loss in the first quarter of 2014 included exit costs incurred in connection with retained properties. Legal fees related to the arbitration with Metalsa and the lawsuit brought by a major customer in 2012 were incurred in both periods. The income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was the net result of recoveries of prior costs finalized during the period, restructuring expenses related to ongoing maintenance of retained properties and legal fees.
	The Longview facility was sold in March 2013 and a previously closed plant in Canada was sold in January 2014. The proceeds in both transactions approximated the carrying values of the facilities.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]	'
Restructuring of Operations	'
	Restructuring of Operations
	Our restructuring activities primarily include rationalizing our operating footprint by consolidating facilities, positioning operations in lower cost locations and reducing overhead costs. Restructuring expense includes costs associated with current and previously announced actions and is comprised of contractual and noncontractual separation costs and exit costs, including costs associated with lease continuation obligations and certain operating costs of facilities that we are in the process of closing.
	During the second quarter of 2014, we continued to implement certain headcount reduction programs, including those associated with the closure of our Commercial Vehicle foundry operation in Argentina. Including costs associated with this action and with other previously announced initiatives, restructuring expense during the second quarter of 2014 was $3, including $1 of severance and related benefit costs and $2 of exit costs.
	Restructuring expense during the first quarter of 2014 was also primarily associated with the closure of our Commercial Vehicle foundry operation in Argentina. Including costs associated with this action and with other previously announced initiatives, restructuring expense during the first quarter of 2014 was $9, including $7 of severance and related benefit costs and $2 of exit costs.
	During the second quarter of 2013, we implemented certain headcount reduction initiatives, primarily in our Light Vehicle and Commercial Vehicle businesses in Argentina and Australia. New customer programs and other developments in our North American Light Vehicle business and a decision by our European Off-Highway business to in-source the manufacturing of certain parts resulted in the reversal of previously accrued severance obligations. Restructuring expense of $4, net of the aforementioned reversals, during the second quarter of 2013 was attributable to newly implemented and previously announced initiatives and included $3 of severance and related benefit costs and $1 of exit costs.
	Excluding $1 of costs associated with discontinued operations and attributable to exit costs, restructuring expense during the first quarter of 2013 was $2, all of which was attributable to exit costs associated with previously announced initiatives.

	At June 30, 2014, the accrued employee termination benefits relate to the reduction of approximately 200 employees to be completed over the next three years. The exit costs relate primarily to lease continuation obligations. We estimate cash expenditures to approximate $8 during the remainder of 2014 and $13 thereafter.

	Stockholders’ Equity
	Preferred stock — Dividends on our 4.0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock accrue daily and are payable in cash as approved by the Board of Directors. Our 4.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ceased accruing dividends as a result of redemption in August 2013. Preferred dividends of $2 and $4 were accrued at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
	During the first half of 2014, holders of 1,790,594 shares of Series B preferred stock elected to convert those preferred shares into common stock and received 15,230,215 shares. The common stock issued included shares to satisfy the accrued dividends owed to the converting preferred stockholders. Based on the market price of Dana common stock on the date of conversion, the fair value of the conversions totaled $316. As of July 2, 2014, the per share closing price of our common stock exceeded $22.24 for 20 consecutive trading days. As a result, we are exercising our right to cause the conversion of all of the outstanding Series B preferred shares upon fulfillment of the required 90-day notice period ending September 30, 2014. Holders of Series B preferred stock continue to have the option to voluntarily convert preferred shares into common stock during the 90-day notice period.
	Common stock — Our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of five cents per share of common stock in the first and second quarters of 2014. Dividends accrue on restricted stock units (RSUs) granted under our stock compensation program and will be paid in cash or additional units when the underlying units vest.
	Share repurchase program — Our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $1,000 of our outstanding shares of common stock over a two-year period from June 28, 2013. Under the program, we spent $113 to repurchase 5,320,850 shares of our common stock during the first half of 2014 through open market transactions. Approximately $58 remained available under the program for future share repurchases as of June 30, 2014.

During the first quarter of 2013, Dana purchased the noncontrolling interests in three of its subsidiaries for $7. Dana maintained its controlling financial interest in each of the subsidiaries and accounted for the purchases as equity transactions. The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interests was recognized as additional paid-in capital of the parent company. At the time of the purchases the subsidiaries had accumulated other comprehensive income. Accumulated other comprehensive income of the parent company has been adjusted to reflect the ownership interest change with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital of the parent company.

	Stock Compensation
	The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the grant of RSUs and performance share units (PSUs) shown in the table below during the first half of 2014.
			Weighted-average Per Share
		Granted	Grant Date
		(In millions)	Fair Value
	RSUs	0.7	$	21.21
	PSUs	0.3	$	24.36
	We calculated the fair value of the RSUs at grant date based on the closing market price of our common stock at the date of grant. The number of PSUs that ultimately vest is contingent on achieving specified return on invested capital targets and specified total shareholder return targets relative to peer companies. For the portion of the award based on the return on invested capital performance metric, we estimated the fair value of the PSUs at grant date based on the closing market price of our common stock at the date of grant adjusted for the value of assumed dividends over the period because the award is not dividend protected. For the portion of the award based on shareholder returns, we estimated the fair value of the PSUs at grant date using various assumptions as part of a Monte Carlo simulation. The expected term represents the period from the grant date to the end of the three-year performance period. The risk-free interest rate of 0.64% was based on U.S. Treasury constant maturity rates at the grant date. The dividend yield of 1.02% was calculated by dividing the expected annual dividend by the average stock price over the prior year. The expected volatility of 43.6% was based on historical volatility over the prior three years using daily stock price observations.
	Stock options and SARs related to 0.4 million shares were exercised and 0.1 million shares were forfeited in 2014. We received $4 of cash from the exercise of stock options and we paid $2 of cash to settle SARs and RSUs during 2014. We issued 0.3 million shares of common stock based on the vesting of RSUs.
	We recognized stock compensation expense of $5 and $4 during the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 and $9 and $9 during the first half of 2014 and 2013. At June 30, 2014, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested awards granted and expected to vest was $30. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

	Interest on the senior notes is payable semi-annually. Other indebtedness includes borrowings from various financial institutions and capital lease obligations.
	Senior notes — In July 2013, we completed the sale of $750 in senior unsecured notes. Interest on the September 2021 Notes and September 2023 Notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year beginning on March 15, 2014. Net proceeds of the offering totaled $734. Financing costs of $16 were recorded as deferred costs and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repurchase all of our outstanding Series A preferred stock and to fund common stock repurchases under our previously authorized share repurchase program.
	Revolving facility — On June 20, 2013, we received commitments from existing lenders for a $500 amended and restated revolving credit facility (the Amended Revolving Facility) which expires on June 20, 2018. In connection with the Amended Revolving Facility, we paid $3 in deferred financing costs to be amortized to interest expense over the life of the facility. We wrote off $2 of previously deferred financing costs associated with our prior revolving credit facility to other income, net.
	The Amended Revolving Facility is guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries except for Dana Credit Corporation and Dana Companies, LLC and their respective subsidiaries (the guarantors) and grants a first priority lien on Dana's and the guarantors' accounts receivable and inventories and, under certain circumstances, to the extent Dana and the guarantors grant a first-priority lien on certain other assets and property, a second-priority lien on such other assets and property.
	Advances under the Amended Revolving Facility bear interest at a floating rate based on, at our option, the base rate or LIBOR (each as described in the revolving credit agreement) plus a margin based on the undrawn amounts available under the agreement as set forth below:
	Remaining Borrowing Availability	Base Rate			LIBOR Rate
	Greater than $350	0.5	%		1.5	%
	Greater than $150 but less than or equal to $350	0.75	%		1.75	%
	$150 or less	1	%		2	%
	Commitment fees are applied based on the average daily unused portion of the available amounts under the Amended Revolving Facility. If the average daily unused portion of the revolving facility is less than 50%, the applicable fee will be 0.25% per annum. If the average daily unused portion of the revolving facility is equal to or greater than 50%, the applicable fee will be 0.375% per annum. Up to $300 of the revolving facility may be applied to letters of credit, which reduces availability. We pay a fee for issued and undrawn letters of credit in an amount per annum equal to the applicable LIBOR margin based on quarterly average availability under the revolving facility and a per annum fronting fee of 0.125%, payable quarterly.
	There were no borrowings under the revolving facility at June 30, 2014 but we had utilized $48 for letters of credit. Based on our borrowing base collateral of $357, we had potential availability at June 30, 2014 under the revolving facility of $309 after deducting the outstanding letters of credit.
	European receivables loan facility — Effective December 31, 2013 we terminated our European accounts receivable backed credit facility (the European Facility). The European facility was scheduled to terminate on March 8, 2016 and permitted borrowings of up to €75. No borrowings were outstanding under the European Facility as of the termination date. We wrote off $2 of previously deferred financing costs associated with the European Facility to other income, net.
	Debt covenants — At June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with the covenants of our financing agreements. Under the Amended Revolving Facility and the senior notes, we are required to comply with certain incurrence-based covenants customary for facilities of these types.

	Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives
	In measuring the fair value of our assets and liabilities, we use market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability including assumptions about risk when appropriate. Our valuation techniques include a combination of observable and unobservable inputs.
	Fair value measurements on a recurring basis — Assets and liabilities that are carried in our balance sheet at fair value are as follows:

	During January 2014, we sold our interest in a payment-in-kind callable note to a third party for $75. Accordingly, we reclassified the note to current assets and, with observable market value readily available, we reduced the unrealized gain and transferred the note from Level 3 to Level 2 at December 31, 2013.
	Fair value of financial instruments – The financial instruments that are not carried in our balance sheet at fair value are as follows:
		June 30, 2014								December 31, 2013
		Carrying Value				Fair Value				Carrying Value				Fair Value
	Senior notes	$	1,500			$	1,602			$	1,500			$	1,567

	Total	$	1,579			$	1,678			$	1,599			$	1,665
	The fair value of our senior notes is estimated based upon a market approach (Level 2) while the fair value of our other indebtedness is based upon an income approach (Level 2).
	Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis — In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we also have long-lived assets that may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include intangible assets and property, plant and equipment which may be written down to fair value as a result of impairment.
	Foreign currency derivatives — Our foreign currency derivatives include forward contracts associated with forecasted transactions, primarily involving the purchases and sales of inventory through the next eighteen months, as well as currency swaps associated with certain recorded intercompany loans receivable and payable.
	The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts, involving the exchange of various currencies, was $282 as of June 30, 2014 and $252 as of December 31, 2013. The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency swaps was $71 as of June 30, 2014 and $297 as of December 31, 2013.
	The following foreign currency derivatives were outstanding at June 30, 2014:

	During May 2014, concurrent with the cancellation of two of our Euro-denominated and Canadian dollar-denominated intercompany loans, we terminated $225 of associated currency swaps. No portion of the fair value of these currency swaps had been deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).
	Cash flow hedges — With respect to contracts designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value during the period in which the contracts remain outstanding are reported in other comprehensive income (OCI) to the extent such contracts remain effective. Changes in fair value of those contracts that are not designated as cash flow hedges are reported in income in the period in which the changes occur. Forward contracts associated with product-related transactions are marked to market in cost of sales while other contracts are marked to market through other income, net.
	Amounts to be reclassified to earnings — Deferred gains or losses, which are reported in AOCI, are reclassified to earnings in the same periods in which the underlying transactions affect earnings. Amounts expected to be reclassified to earnings assume no change in the current hedge relationships or to June 30, 2014 market rates. Deferred gains of $1 at June 30, 2014 are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months. Amounts deferred were not significant at December 31, 2013. See Note 6 for additional details.

The recorded asset represents our assessment of the capacity of our current insurance agreements to provide for the payment of anticipated defense and indemnity costs for pending claims and projected future demands. The recognition of these recoveries is based on our assessment of our right to recover under the respective contracts and on the financial strength of the insurers. We have coverage agreements in place with our insurers confirming substantially all of the related coverage and payments are being received on a timely basis. The financial strength of these insurers is reviewed at least annually with the assistance of a third party. The recorded asset does not represent the limits of our insurance coverage, but rather the amount we would expect to recover if we paid the accrued indemnity and defense costs.
	As part of our reorganization in 2008, assets and liabilities associated with asbestos claims were retained in Dana Corporation which was then merged into Dana Companies, LLC, a consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary of Dana. The assets of Dana Companies, LLC include insurance rights relating to coverage against these liabilities, marketable securities and other assets which we believe are sufficient to satisfy its liabilities. Dana Companies, LLC continues to process asbestos personal injury claims in the normal course of business, is separately managed and has an independent board member. The independent board member is required to approve certain transactions including dividends or other transfers of $1 or more of value to Dana.
	Other product liabilities — We had accrued $1 for non-asbestos product liability costs at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, with no recovery expected from third parties at either date. We estimate these liabilities based on assumptions about the value of the claims and about the likelihood of recoveries against us derived from our historical experience and current information.
	Environmental liabilities — Accrued environmental liabilities were $8 at June 30, 2014 and $9 at December 31, 2013. We consider the most probable method of remediation, current laws and regulations and existing technology in determining the fair value of our environmental liabilities. Other accounts receivable included a related recoverable from insurers or other parties of $1 at both dates.
	Guarantee of lease obligations — In connection with the divestiture of our Structural Products business in 2010, leases covering three U.S. facilities were assigned to a U.S. affiliate of Metalsa. Under the terms of the sale agreement, we will guarantee the affiliate’s performance under the leases, which run through June 2025, including approximately $6 of annual payments. In the event of a required payment by Dana as guarantor, we are entitled to pursue full recovery from Metalsa of the amounts paid under the guarantee and to take possession of the leased property.
	Other legal matters — We are subject to various pending or threatened legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business or operations. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, we cannot state what the eventual outcome of these matters will be. However, based on current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, we believe that any liabilities that may result from these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
	In November 2013, we received an arbitration notice from Sypris Solutions, Inc. (Sypris), our largest supplier, concerning the existing long-term supply agreement that expires on December 31, 2014. Sypris alleges that the companies entered into a new binding long-term supply agreement in July 2013. Dana has filed suit against Sypris requesting declaratory judgment relating to the Sypris claim that it entered into a new supply agreement with Dana in July 2013. We dispute Sypris’ claim and believe it is without merit.

	In 2007, we were notified of an alleged quality issue at a foreign subsidiary of Dana that produced engine coolers for a unit of Sogefi SpA that were used in modules supplied to Volkswagen. Based on the information currently available to us, we do not believe that this matter will result in a material liability to Dana.
	In 2012, Ford Motor Company filed a complaint alleging quality issues relating to products supplied by the former Structural Products business at Dana Canada Corporation. The Dana Canada facility was closed in 2008 and Dana Holding Corporation divested substantially all of the Structural Products business in 2010. Based on the information currently available to us, we do not believe this matter will result in a material liability to Dana.

Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	We estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes in interim reporting periods. We also recognize the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur.
	We reported income tax expense related to our continuing operations of $33 and $35 for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and $67 and $62 for the respective six-month periods. The effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%% due to valuation allowances in several countries, nondeductible expenses, different statutory tax rates outside the U.S. and withholding taxes related to repatriations of international earnings to the U.S.
	We record interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense or benefit. Net interest expense for the periods presented herein is not significant.
	We provide for U.S. federal income and non-U.S. withholding taxes on the earnings of our non-U.S. operations that are not considered to be permanently reinvested. Accordingly, we continue to analyze and adjust the estimated tax impact of the income and non-U.S. withholding tax liabilities based on the amount and source of these earnings. As part of the annual effective tax rate, we recognized net expense of $2 and $2 for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and $3 and $4 for the respective six-month periods related to future income taxes and non-U.S. withholding taxes on repatriations from operations that are not permanently reinvested. We also recognized expense of $4 and $1 in the first and second quarters of 2014 for withholding taxes associated with changes to planned repatriations of certain foreign earnings and we accrued additional tax reserves of $2 in the second quarter of 2014 for settlement of outstanding tax matters in Italy. In connection with our purchase of the noncontrolling interests in three UK subsidiaries during the first quarter of 2013, we released valuation allowances against deferred tax assets of $2.
	We have generally not recognized tax benefits on losses generated in several entities, including those in the U.S., where the recent history of operating losses does not allow us to satisfy the “more likely than not” criterion for the recognition of deferred tax assets. Consequently, there is no income tax expense or benefit recognized on the pre-tax income or losses in these jurisdictions as valuation allowances are adjusted to offset the associated tax expense or benefit.
	At June 30, 2014, we have a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in the U.S. When evaluating the continued need for this valuation allowance we consider all components of comprehensive income, and we weight the positive and negative evidence, putting greater reliance on objectively verifiable historical evidence than on projections of future profitability that are dependent on actions that have not occurred as of the assessment date. We also consider the pro forma effects on historical profitability of actions occurring in the year of assessment that have a sustained effect on future profitability, as well as the effect on historical profits of nonrecurring events. These effects included items such as the lost future interest income resulting from the prepayment on and subsequent sale of the payment-in-kind callable note receivable and the additional interest expense resulting from the $750 senior unsecured notes payable issued in July 2013. A sustained period of profitability, after giving pro forma effect to implemented actions and nonrecurring events, along with positive expectations for future profitability are necessary for a determination that a valuation allowance should be released. Our U.S. operations have experienced improved profitability in recent years, but our analysis of the income of the U.S. operations, as adjusted for pro forma effects of 2013 developments, results in a cumulative loss in recent years as of June 30, 2014. Therefore, we have not achieved a level of sustained historical profitability that would, in our judgment, support a release of the valuation allowance at June 30, 2014. Although we expect our U.S. operations to generate profits in the future, this positive evidence cannot be given as much weight in our analysis as the objectively verifiable lack of sustained historical profitability. To the extent that we achieve our forecasted levels of sustainable profits in 2014 and our projections of profitability beyond 2014 are sufficiently positive, it is reasonably possible that we could release up to $675 of the valuation allowances against our U.S. deferred tax assets in the next twelve months. Until the valuation allowance is released, the income tax effect of any reported U.S. profits will reduce net deferred tax assets and the associated valuation allowance.

	Interest income decreased from 2013 as a result of selling our payment-in-kind note receivable during the first quarter of 2014. As discussed in Note 12 above, the receipt of a payment on our payment-in-kind note receivable during the second quarter of 2013 resulted in the recognition of a portion of the related unrealized gain that arose following the valuation of the note receivable below its callable value at emergence from bankruptcy. The subsequent sale of the payment-in-kind note receivable during the first quarter of 2014 resulted in the recognition of the remaining unrealized gain.
	Foreign exchange gains and losses on cross-currency intercompany loan balances that are not considered permanently invested are included above. Foreign exchange gains and losses on intercompany loans that are permanently invested are reported in OCI. As discussed in Note 1 above, effective March 31, 2014, we ceased using the official exchange rate of 6.3 and began using the SICAD rate, which was 10.7 bolivars per U.S. dollar (as published by the Central Bank of Venezuela) at March 31, 2014, to remeasure the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiaries. The change to the SICAD rate resulted in a charge of $17 during the first quarter of 2014. The SICAD rate was 10.6 bolivars per U.S. dollar at June 30, 2014. During the second quarter of 2014 we realized a $7 gain as CENCOEX approved a portion of our pending claims to settle U.S. dollar obligations at the official exchange rate of 6.3. Also during the second quarter of 2014 we realized a $6 gain on the sale of U.S. dollars through SICAD 2 at an average rate of 49.9 bolivars per U.S. dollar. Both the first quarter 2014 charge and the second quarter 2014 gains associated with our Venezuelan subsidiaries are included in the segment EBITDA of our Light Vehicle operating segment. Foreign exchange loss for 2013 includes a first quarter charge of $6 resulting from the February 2013 devaluation of Venezuela's official exchange rate from 4.3 to 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar. The charge was largely recovered over the balance of 2013 as the Venezuelan government allowed certain transactions to be settled at the former exchange rate. A gain of $3 from these settlements was recognized in the second quarter of 2013.
	As discussed in Note 11 above, during the second quarter of 2013 we wrote off previously deferred financing costs associated with our prior revolving credit facility.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]	'
Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of presentation — Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information. These statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our 2013 Form 10-K. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation.
Discontinued Operations	'
	Discontinued operations — We classify a business component that has been disposed of or classified as held for sale as discontinued operations if the cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from our ongoing operations and we will no longer have any significant continuing involvement in or with the component. The results of operations of our discontinued operations, including any gains or losses on disposition, are aggregated and presented on one line in the income statement. See Note 3 for additional information regarding our discontinued operations.
Foreign Currency Translation	'
	Translation of financial statements of Venezuelan subsidiaries
	Venezuela’s economy is considered highly inflationary under GAAP. As such, we remeasure the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiaries as if their functional currency was the U.S. dollar.
	Prior to 2014, the Venezuelan government through its Commission for the Administration of Foreign Exchange (CADIVI) maintained a fixed official exchange rate. The official exchange rate was fixed at 4.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar until February 2013 when the Venezuelan government devalued the bolivar to 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar. We recorded a $6 charge in the first quarter of 2013 associated with the devaluation of the official exchange rate. After the devaluation, CADIVI allowed certain obligations existing at the date of the devaluation to be settled at the former 4.3 rate. During the last nine months of 2013, we recognized $5 of gains on claims settled at the former 4.3 rate. In March 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the creation of the Complementary System of Foreign Currency Administration (SICAD), a supplementary currency auction system regulated by the Central Bank of Venezuela for purchases of U.S. dollars by certain eligible importers. During 2013, our Venezuelan subsidiaries were not eligible to utilize SICAD and therefore we continued to use the official exchange rate to remeasure the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiaries.
	In the first quarter of 2014, the Venezuelan government transferred the administration of the official exchange rate to the National Center of Foreign Commerce (CENCOEX) and indicated that the official exchange rate of 6.3 would be increasingly reserved only for the settlement of U.S. dollar denominated obligations related to purchases of “essential goods and services.” In addition, the Venezuelan government expanded the entities and transactions that would be eligible to use SICAD. Transactions eligible for SICAD currently include foreign investments and payments of royalties. Also during the first quarter of 2014, the Venezuelan government announced the creation of SICAD 2, a market-based exchange mechanism regulated by the Central Bank of Venezuela. SICAD 2 may be used by all companies incorporated or domiciled in Venezuela who want to obtain U.S. dollars for any purpose.
	With the recent expansion of SICAD and the formation of SICAD 2 there is uncertainty surrounding transactions that CENCOEX will allow to be transacted at the official exchange rate. In consultation with legal counsel we have determined that the SICAD rate, which we believe would apply to dividend remittances, is the appropriate rate to remeasure the bolivar denominated net monetary assets of our Venezuelan subsidiaries. Effective March 31, 2014, we ceased using the official exchange rate of 6.3 and began using the SICAD rate, which was 10.7 bolivars per U.S. dollar (as published by the Central Bank of Venezuela) at March 31, 2014, to remeasure the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiaries.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements	'
	Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance to clarify financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. Generally, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. An exception exists to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose. If the exception applies, the unrecognized tax benefit must be presented in the financial statements as a liability and not combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and must be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. This guidance became effective January 1, 2014 and is consistent with our past practice, so adoption did not impact our financial condition or results of operations.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance to provide for the inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government and the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate. In addition, the guidance removed the restriction on using different benchmark interest rates for similar hedges. The guidance was effective upon issuance and can be applied for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance to clarify existing requirements for the release – the recognition of an amount in the income statement – of the cumulative translation adjustment. The guidance applies to the release of cumulative translation adjustment when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. It also applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment when there is a loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity or a step acquisition involving an equity method investment that is a foreign entity. The accounting for the financial interest within a foreign entity is the same regardless of the form of the transaction. This guidance, which became effective January 1, 2014, did not impact our financial condition or results of operations upon adoption but could affect our accounting for future transactions.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance related to obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements where the amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. Obligations within the scope of the guidance include certain debt arrangements and settled litigation but not contingencies, guarantees, retirement benefits or income taxes. Adoption of this guidance, which became effective January 1, 2014, did not impact our financial condition or results of operations.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements	'
	Recently issued accounting pronouncements
	In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance to provide clarity on whether to treat a performance target that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition that affects vesting or as a nonvesting condition that affects the grant-date fair value of a share-based payment award. Generally, an award with a performance target also requires an employee to render service until the performance target is achieved. In some cases, however, the terms of an award may provide that the performance target could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period. The amendment requires that a performance target that affects vesting and extends beyond the end of the service period be treated as a performance condition and not as a factor in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The guidance becomes effective January 1, 2016.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance that amends accounting and disclosures for repurchase agreements and similar transactions. Repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financings are to be accounted for as secured borrowings, which is consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements. The amendment also requires two new disclosures. The first disclosure requires an entity to disclose information on transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements. The second disclosure provides increased transparency about the types of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The guidance, which becomes effective January 1, 2015, could affect our accounting for future transactions.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance that requires companies to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration a company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance will also require new disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This guidance will be effective January 1, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The guidance allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that revises the definition of a discontinued operation. The revised definition limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on operations and financial results. The guidance also requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The guidance will apply to covered transactions that occur after 2014 but may be applied to the initial reporting of disposals completed or approved in 2014.
