COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Ordinary Business Litigation

In the normal course of our business, we are named from time to time as a defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions, and other litigation. We also from time to time receive subpoenas and other inquiries or requests for information from U.S. and foreign federal, state and local governments on a variety of matters. We accrue for matters when we believe that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Considering, among other things, the legal defenses available and existing accruals, it is inherently difficult in many matters to determine whether loss is probable or reasonably possible or to estimate the size or range of the possible loss. Accordingly adverse outcomes from such proceedings could exceed the amounts accrued by an amount that could be material to our results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

We estimate our reasonably possible loss in excess of the amounts accrued for ordinary business claims to be up to $15 million, exclusive of the environmental matters discussed below.

Environmental Matters

Delphi Technologies is subject to the requirements of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. environmental and safety and health laws and regulations. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the undiscounted reserve for environmental investigation and remediation was approximately $3 million (of which $1 million was recorded in other long-term liabilities and $2 million was recorded in accrued liabilities) and $3 million (of which $2 million was recorded in other long-term liabilities and $1 million was recorded in accrued liabilities), respectively. At December 31, 2019 the difference between the recorded liabilities and the reasonably possible range of potential loss was not material.
