Section —Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

(a) Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On August 9, 2012, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Federal-Mogul Corporation (the “Audit Committee”) approved dismissal of Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) as independent registered public accounting firm for Federal-Mogul Corporation (the “Company”).

The reports of E&Y on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

In connection with the audits of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and through August 9, 2012, there have been no “disagreements” (as such term is described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation SK) with E&Y on any matter of accounting principle or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y would have caused E&Y to make reference thereto in their reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through August 9, 2012, there have been no “reportable events” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Company has provided E&Y with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that E&Y furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of E&Y’s letter dated August 15, 2012 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.

(b) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On August 9, 2012, the Audit Committee approved the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”), effective August 9, 2012, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. On August 9, 2012, Grant Thornton accepted the engagement.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 and through August 9, 2012, the Company, or anyone acting on its behalf, had not consulted Grant Thornton regarding either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or proposed transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, nor did Grant Thornton provide either written or oral advice to the Company that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as such term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a “reportable event” (as such term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
