    "In the wake of recent events, several of our major customers have
significantly reduced their production schedules," said Chairman and CEO Joe
Magliochetti.  "While we had been performing in line with expectations, on
lower volume we now expect to incur a small loss from operations for the
quarter.  However, net income for the quarter is expected to remain positive
when you include the gains from our previously announced divestitures.
    "We will continue to work diligently at improving those factors that are
within our control and to do whatever it takes to meet our customers' needs
during this challenging period," he added.
    Dana will discuss its third-quarter results during its quarterly
