Field inspection and replacement
program
One of the smaller product lines for actuators in North
America.
In November, Haldex launched a field inspection campaign
due to a diaphragm that could get out of position.
Based on a thorough analysis of the field inspection results,
an additional root cause, that can occur during special
conditions, has been identified.
The field inspection campaign has been extended to
include product replacements.
The number of vehicles is approximately 20,000. The cost is
estimated at SEK 65 million.
Restructuring program
The final step in the program was completed with the German
union negotiations.
Annual savings of SEK 85 million and total costs of SEK 250
million, with cash effects of approximately SEK 100 million.
SEK 240 million booked as one-off items, of which SEK 112
million in 2014. Two thirds of the payments remain.
The German/Hungary relocation project will be carried out
