Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Disposal Groups and Divestitures [Text Block]	Disposal Groups and Divestitures Disposal group held for sale — In December 2017, we entered into an agreement to divest our Brazil suspension components business (the disposal group) for no consideration to an unaffiliated company. The results of operations of the Brazil suspension components business were reported within our Commercial Vehicle operating segment. To effectuate the sale, Dana was obligated to contribute $10 of additional cash to the business prior to closing. We classified the disposal group as held for sale at December 31, 2017, recognizing a $27 loss to adjust the carrying value of the net assets to fair value and to recognize the liability for the additional cash required to be contributed to the business prior to closing. During the first quarter of 2018, we made the required cash contribution to the disposal group. After being unable to complete the transaction with the counterparty to the December 2017 agreement, we entered into an agreement with another third party in June 2018. The transaction with the new counterparty closed in July 2018 and we received cash proceeds of $2. We reversed $3 of the previously recognized $27 pre-tax loss, inclusive of the proceeds received in July 2018, during the second quarter of 2018.
