Disposal Groups and Discontinued Operations

Disposal of Operations in Venezuela — In December 2014, we entered into an agreement to divest our Light Vehicle operations in Venezuela (the disposal group) for no consideration to an unaffiliated company. Upon classification of the disposal group as held for sale in December 2014, we recognized an $80 loss to adjust the carrying value of the net assets of our operations in Venezuela to fair value less cost to sell. The assets and liabilities of our operations in Venezuela were presented as held for sale on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities of our operations in Venezuela as of that date were as follows:

	December 31,
	2014
Cash and cash equivalents	$	27
Current assets classified as held for sale	$	27
Accounts payable	$	16
Accrued payroll and employee benefits	4
Other accrued liabilities	1
Current liabilities classified as held for sale	$	21
Pension obligations	$	11
Other noncurrent liabilities	6
Noncurrent liabilities classified as held for sale	$	17
Accumulated other comprehensive loss classified as held for sale	$	(11	)

Upon completion of the divestiture of the disposal group in January 2015, we recognized a gain of $5 on the derecognition of the noncontrolling interest in one of our former Venezuelan subsidiaries in other income (expense), net. We also credited other comprehensive loss attributable to the parent for $10 and other comprehensive loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for $1 to eliminate the unrecognized pension expense recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Discontinued Operations 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). Upon cessation of all operations in August 2012, the former Structural Products business was presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. The loss from discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2014 represents legal fees and other costs associated with resolving claims of the buyer and a former customer.
