Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

Business Segment Information

        We conduct our business and report our information as one operating segment and, therefore, disclose one reportable segment - Automotive and Commercial Vehicles. Our chief operating decision maker is the executive leadership team, which includes certain Vice Presidents, all Senior Vice Presidents and the Chief Executive Officer. This team has the final authority over performance assessment and resource allocation decisions. In determining that one operating segment is appropriate, we considered the nature of the business activities and the existence of managers responsible for the operating activities. Customers and suppliers are substantially the same in the automotive and commercial vehicle industry.

        Foreign net revenues were $50,722 or 32.6% and $175,924 or 31.6% of net revenues for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020, respectively, and $78,588 or 29.8% and $233,929 or 29.4% of net revenues for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2019, respectively. Foreign net revenues, and geographic regions quantified in the table below, are based upon the location of the entity recording the sale.

        Long-lived assets consist primarily of net property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangibles. Due to the continued decline of our business, we concluded an interim test of long-lived assets was required. During the nine months ended July 31, 2020, we recorded an asset impairment charge on fixed assets and intangible assets of $109,633 related to a decline in fair value and $2,500 related to equipment not placed in service.
