Acquisitions and Divestitures [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Divestitures	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. The $10 that remains as a receivable is 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 is precluded from releasing the funds held in escrow until Dana and the buyer resolve the issues underlying the claims. The parties have begun an arbitration proceeding that is expected to conclude prior to the end of 2014. We do not presently believe that any obligation to indemnify the buyer will be material.
