Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
RESTRUCTURING RESTRUCTURINGThe Company’s restructuring activities are undertaken as necessary to execute management’s strategy and streamline operations, consolidate and take advantage of available capacity and resources, and ultimately achieve net cost reductions. Restructuring activities include efforts to integrate and rationalize the Company’s business and to relocate operations to best-cost locations.
The Company’s restructuring expenses consist primarily of employee termination benefits (principally severance and/or other termination benefits) and other costs, which are primarily professional fees and costs related to facility closures and exits.

In February 2020, the Company announced a restructuring plan to address existing structural costs. During the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company recorded $103 million and $148 million of restructuring charges related to this plan, respectively. Cumulatively, the Company has incurred $251 million of restructuring charges related to this plan. This plan is expected to result in a total of $300 million of restructuring costs through 2022. Nearly all of the restructuring charges are expected to be cash expenditures.

In 2019, legacy Delphi Technologies announced a restructuring plan to reshape and realign its global technical center footprint and reduce salaried and contract staff. The Company continued actions under this program post-acquisition and has recorded cumulative charges of $62 million since October 1, 2020,
including approximately $60 million in restructuring charges during the year ended December 31, 2021. The majority of the actions under this program have been completed.

Additionally, the Company recorded approximately $54 million in restructuring charges during the three months ended December 31, 2020, for acquisition-related restructuring charges. In conjunction with the acquisition, there were contractually required severance and post-combination stock-based compensation cash payments to legacy Delphi Technologies executive officers and other employee termination benefits.

In April 2019, the Company announced a restructuring plan including several actions to reduce existing structural costs. These actions were primarily completed by the fourth quarter 2019 and resulted in approximately $50 million of restructuring expense.

In 2017, the Company initiated actions designed to improve future profitability and competitiveness and started exploring strategic options for the non-core product lines. As a continuation of these actions, the Company recorded restructuring expense of $18 million in the year ended December 31, 2019

Estimates of restructuring expense are based on information available at the time such charges are recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in estimating restructuring expenses, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially recorded. Accordingly, the Company may record revisions of previous estimates by adjusting previously established accruals.

The Company continues to evaluate different options across its operations to reduce existing structural costs over the next few years. The Company will recognize restructuring expense associated with any future actions at the time they are approved and become probable or are incurred. Any future actions could result in significant restructuring expense.
