(Reuters) – BorgWarner (BWA.N) on Friday forecast full-year net sales of up to $8 billion and said it expects to generate positive free cash flow of between $100 million and $300 million for the year.

The company also said it expects full year production to fall 27% to 35% in North America.

BorgWarner last week reported a smaller-than-expected fall in first-quarter profit, while lowering its full-year sales outlook by about 23% at the mid-point to $7.63 billion, as several automakers cut production drastically due to the coronavirus crisis.
