AUBURN HILLS, Mich., June 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BorgWarner (NYSE: BWA) was presented with two awards for quality and delivery performance by Honda of America Mfg., Inc. during Honda's annual supplier conference in Birmingham, Alabama. The awards recognize best-in-class performance in 2008.

Previous awards honored engineering excellence, quality and delivery. Employees at the Seneca plant build all-wheel drive systems for Honda light trucks.

BorgWarner Morse TEC in Ithaca, New York, received a Honda Quality Performance Award. Morse TEC manufactures timing system components for Honda engines produced in North America. Since 2006, employees at the plant have been honored with three Honda awards for quality and delivery.

"Through hard work and dedication, our employees have achieved exceptional levels of quality and on-time delivery," said Tim Manganello, BorgWarner Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We value our long-standing relationship with Honda and are honored to receive this prestigious recognition. Congratulations to our employee teams in Ithaca, New York, and Seneca, South Carolina."
