Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard.

On March 17, 2009, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) notified ArvinMeritor, Inc. (“ArvinMeritor”) that it has fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard related to total market capitalization and stockholders’ equity. The NYSE requires that the average market capitalization of a listed company be not less than $75 million over a consecutive 30 trading-day period when, at the same time, stockholders’ equity is less than $75 million. On March 20, 2009, ArvinMeritor issued a press release regarding its receipt of the NYSE notification. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K.

On March 20, 2009, ArvinMeritor also notified the NYSE that it intends to cure this deficiency and submit a plan to the NYSE, within the required 45 day period, to demonstrate its ability to achieve compliance with the continued listing standards within the allotted 18 month cure period. Under the NYSE rules, ArvinMeritor’s common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE during the cure period, subject to compliance with other NYSE continued listing requirements.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

As further described below, on March 17, 2009 ArvinMeritor’s cost to borrow under its revolving credit facility increased. As discussed in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and under the heading “Liquidity and Contractual Obligations” in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 28, 2008 (the “Form 10-Q”), ArvinMeritor has a $700 million revolving credit facility maturing in 2011. The majority of borrowings under this facility are subject to interest based on quoted LIBOR rates plus a margin, and a commitment fee, all of which are based on ArvinMeritor’s senior secured credit ratings. Although a majority of ArvinMeritor’s revolving credit loans are LIBOR based, overnight revolving credit loans are at the prime rate plus a margin, which is also based on ArvinMeritor’s senior secured credit ratings.

As discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-Q, ArvinMeritor’s corporate credit rating at Moody’s Investors Service was B2 and at Standard & Poor’s was B at the time the Form 10-Q was filed. On February 12, 2009, Standard & Poor’s lowered ArvinMeritor’s corporate credit rating to CCC+ from B and lowered the senior secured credit rating to B- from BB-. On March 17, 2009, Moody’s Investors Service lowered ArvinMeritor’s corporate credit rating to Caa1 from B2 and lowered the senior secured credit rating to B1 from Ba2.

As a result of both of these downgrades, on March 17, 2009, ArvinMeritor’s cost to borrow under its revolving credit facility increased by 25 basis points to 275 basis points plus LIBOR for LIBOR based loans and to 175 basis points plus the prime rate for prime rate based loans. There was no change in the commitment fee, however.

Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “are likely to be,” “will” and similar expressions.
