Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and ContingenciesWe are a defendant in a lawsuit, Wasica Finance Gmbh et al v. Schrader International Inc. et al, Case No. 13-1353-CPS, U.S.D.C., Delaware, in which the claimant alleges infringement of their patent (US 5,602,524) in connection with certain of our tire pressure monitoring system products. The patent in question has expired, and as a result, the claimant seeks damages for past alleged infringement with interest and costs. The asserted patent is the U.S. counterpart of a German patent that had been previously asserted against Schrader. Schrader succeeded in proving that German patent to be invalid. On February 14, 2020, the federal jury trial related to this lawsuit concluded, and the jury found Schrader International Inc. liable for damages in the amount of $31.2 million. As a result, we recorded a loss of $29.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 through cost of revenue. We continue to deny any wrongdoing, have filed post-trial motions, and intend to appeal the jury's decision, including any final circuit court order against us. As of March 31, 2020, we have recorded an accrual of $31.2 million related to this matter in other long-term liabilities, based on timing of expected payment if our appeal is unsuccessful.
