Item 8.01. Other Events
     In January 2006, BorgWarner Diversified Transmission Products Inc (“DTP”), a subsidiary of the Company filed a declaratory judgment action in United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana (Indianapolis Division) against the United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implements Workers of America (“UAW”), Local No. 287 and Gerald Poor, individually and as the representative of a defendant class. DTP sought the Court’s affirmation that DTP did not violate the Labor-Management Relations Act or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act by unilaterally amending certain medical plans prior to the expiration of their term in order to reduce the level of benefits provided to retirees, effective April 1, 2006 and October 1, 2006. On September 10, 2008 the Court found that DTP’s reservation of the right to make such amendments was limited by its health insurance agreement with the UAW and could not be exercised prior to the expiration of that agreement in April 2009. The Company intends to reduce the level of benefits provided to the retirees following expiration of the health insurance agreement in April 2009. The Company estimates that the Court’s decision will result in a charge of approximately $3 million to $4 million in the third quarter 2008.
     On September 11, 2008, the hourly employees at the Company’s Ithaca and Cortland, New York facilities, represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, ratified a new four-year collective bargaining agreement effective September 1, 2008.
