Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

         On June 20, 2003, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of
Metaldyne Corporation (the "Company") approved the appointment of KPMG LLP as
the Company's independent accountants, and the dismissal of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, which had previously served in this capacity.

         During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and through June 20,
2003, KPMG LLP has not been engaged as an independent accountant to audit either
the financial statements of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, nor has it
been consulted regarding the application of accounting principles to any
specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit
opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, or any
matter that was the subject of a disagreement or reportable event. KPMG is the
auditor of the Company's Joint Venture with DCX.

         During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and through June 20,
2003, there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the
subject matter of such disagreement in their reports on the financial statements
for such years. The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, did not include any
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or any qualification or modification
as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

         During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and through June 20,
2003, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported no material weaknesses in the
Company's internal control systems and there were no other reportable events as
defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v).

         We have provided PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP with a copy of the
foregoing disclosures. Attached as Exhibit 16, is a copy of
PricewaterhouseCoopers' letter, dated June 24, 2003, stating whether or not it
agrees with the above statements.

         The Company intends to continue its engagement of Deloitte & Touche to
provide internal audit services.
