Exhibit 99.2

       TEXT OF RECORDED MESSAGE FROM JOE MAGLIOCHETTI TO DANA EMPLOYEES

Good morning, and welcome to this edition of the CEO Messages. This morning on
the newswire ArvinMeritor  announced a hostile bid for the Dana Corporation at a
bid price of $15.00. This announcement came just minutes following a phone call
I received from their CEO and Chairman, Mr. Larry Yost, alerting us to this
action.

This was not the first contact from ArvinMeritor on this matter. Earlier
proposals received during the past 30 days from ArvinMeritor at a lesser value
were carefully considered by our Board of Directors with the advice of expert
outside bankers and legal advisors. These proposals were unanimously rejected by
our board.

Obviously, these are significant and important decisions for our board and for
the company. They are not taken lightly. As you know, we have been engaged in a
significant restructuring program within Dana. Our progress has been
substantial, and most of the heavy lifting is nearly completed. The ultimate
benefit to the company and our shareholders will be significant. Many investors
have recognized this potential and our shares have gained value over the past
several weeks. Certainly an unsolicited bid for the company was always a
possibility, but not expected.

At this juncture there is a very clear process for dealing with such a proposal.
When we finally see the proposal and understand the offer, our board will again
carefully consider the alternatives.  We have several options available to us.
Legally we will be required to publish our response within 10 business days, and
we fully intend to do so. During this period, many of our people have offered
their assistance. However, the best assistance you can provide is to simply do
your job as effectively as possible, continue our improvement initiatives, and
serve our customers well.

We will keep you posted periodically of our progress, and as always, we
appreciate your support and commitment.
