Item 2.06. Material Impairments.

On September 30, 2019, we concluded that a material impairment charge related to fixed assets in our India Automotive operations is required based upon held-for-sale impairment testing we conducted in connection with the pending sale of assets to an unconsolidated joint venture in India we are creating with Mahindra & Mahindra Limited. The expected impairment charge is estimated to be in the range of $800 million to $900 million and will be reflected in our financial statements for the third quarter of 2019.  The impairment charge will not result in any cash expenditures.


Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

The press release dated October 1, 2019 concerning a joint venture we are creating in India with Mahindra & Mahindra Limited is furnished as Exhibit 99 to this Report and incorporated by reference herein.
We continue to expect a total of about $11 billion in potential EBIT charges for our Global Redesign actions, with negative cash effects of about $7 billion.  We expect substantially all of the EBIT charges to be treated as special items.  Additional details, if any, will be provided in connection with the release of our quarterly results.
