       DANA COMMENTS ON ARVINMERITOR TENDER OFFER EXTENSION

TOLEDO, OH -- AUGUST 28, 2003 -- Dana Corporation (NYSE: DCN) issued the
following statement today in response to the announcement by ArvinMeritor, Inc.
(NYSE: ARM) that it will extend the tender period for its offer for outstanding
Dana shares.

"On July 22, Dana's Board of Directors rejected ArvinMeritor's offer after a
thorough review and consultation with its legal and financial advisors. The
Board concluded that the offer is a financially inadequate, high-risk proposal
that is not in the best interests of Dana or its shareholders and that is
subject to serious financing risks and antitrust concerns that could prevent its
completion. Further, the Board noted that Dana's restructuring and
transformation efforts are producing results and reaffirmed its belief that
Dana's ongoing strategy is a better way to enhance value for shareholders," said
Joe Magliochetti, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Nothing has changed in
this regard.

"The small number of shares tendered to date confirms that many of our
shareholders agree with Dana's Board that ArvinMeritor's offer is not in their
best interest.

"According to its public statements, ArvinMeritor has not yet obtained the
necessary financing for the proposed transaction. Since the offer was originally
announced in July, we believe that the fast-changing conditions in the debt
markets have made, and will continue to make, this significant challenge even
more difficult. And, ArvinMeritor only recently decided to begin the process of
seeking antitrust approval by making the required Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust
filing," Mr. Magliochetti continued.

"Contrary to its earlier statements about plans to create a $17 billion combined
enterprise, ArvinMeritor is now talking about significant potential divestitures
of the combined company's commercial vehicle axle assets and other businesses,
which would appear to limit opportunities for synergies and would result in a
very different company from the one originally proposed to shareholders. Based
on this and other factors, including the declining value of ArvinMeritor's
shares since they commenced their offer, both Dana shareholders and ArvinMeritor
shareholders are understandably questioning whether this deal makes any sense,"
concluded Mr. Magliochetti.

Dana's shareholders, and its customers, suppliers and employees, are strongly
advised to read carefully Dana's solicitation/recommendation statement regarding
ArvinMeritor's tender offer, because it contains important information. Free
copies of the solicitation/recommendation statement and the related amendments,
which have been filed by Dana with the Securities and Exchange Commission, are

Department.
