Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Note 20. Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved in various lawsuits, claims, and proceedings incident to the operation of our businesses, including those pertaining to product liability, product safety, environmental, health and safety, intellectual property, employment, commercial and contractual matters and various other matters. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of possible losses based on a careful analysis of each matter. We identify below the individual proceedings where we believe a material loss is reasonably possible or probable, and we accrue for matters when we believe that losses are probable and the amount of the potential loss is reasonably estimable. It is inherently difficult to determine whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible or to estimate the size or range of any

potential loss. Accordingly, while we believe that appropriate accruals have been established for losses that are probable and can be reasonably estimated, it is possible that adverse outcomes from such proceedings could exceed the amounts accrued by an amount that could be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Brazilian Tax Matter

In September 2020, the Brazilian tax authorities issued an infraction notice against Garrett Motion Industria Automotiva Brasil Ltda, challenging the use of certain tax credits between January 2017 and February 2020. The estimated total amount of the loss contingency arising from this matter as of March 31, 2026 was $28 million, including penalties and interest. The Company believes, based on management’s assessment and the advice of external legal counsel, that it has meritorious arguments in connection with the infraction notice and any liability for the infraction notice is currently not probable. Accordingly, no accrual is required at this time.

Warranties and Guarantees

In the normal course of business, we issue product warranties and product performance guarantees. We accrue for the estimated cost of product warranties and performance guarantees based on contract terms and historical experience at the time of sale to the customer. Adjustments to initial obligations for warranties and guarantees are made as changes to the obligations become reasonably estimable. Product warranties and product performance guarantees are included in Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities. The following table summarizes information concerning our recorded obligations for product warranties and product performance guarantees.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to other lawsuits, investigations, and disputes arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability, prior acquisitions and divestitures, employment and employee benefit plans, intellectual property, and environmental, health and safety matters. We recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurring and reasonably estimable. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of possible losses (taking into consideration any insurance recoveries), based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts.
