INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Borg-Warner Retirement Savings Plan,
Blytheville Plant:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Borg-Warner Retirement Savings Plan, Blytheville Plant as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the Plan's financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1995 is presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental schedule
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
1995 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

BORG-WARNER RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN, BLYTHEVILLE PLANT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

   Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc. (the "Company") established the Borg-Warner
   Automotive, Inc. Retirement Savings Master Trust (the "Master Trust") with
   Putnam Fiduciary Trust, Boston, Massachusetts on April 1, 1994, pursuant to
   the Benefits Agreement entered into in accordance with the January 27, 1993
   distribution of the Company's stock to the stockholders of its then parent
   company, Borg-Warner Security Corporation ("BW-Security").  The BW-Security
   Master Trust (the "Prior Master Trust") was originally established on April
   5, 1988 while the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of BW-Security with
   eligible employees participating in the Prior Master Trust through the
   Borg-Warner Retirement Savings Plan, Blytheville Plant (the "Plan").

   The Plan was established on January 1, 1992 as a participant in the Prior
   Master Trust.  Effective May 31, 1994, the Prior Master Trust transferred to
   the Master Trust assets equal to participant balances in the Plan under
   the Prior Master Trust as of  March 31, 1994 pursuant to the Benefits
   Agreement.

   The Plan is a defined contribution plan under section 401(a) of the Internal
   Revenue Code designed to provide eligible employees with systematic savings
   and tax-advantaged long-term savings for retirement.  Borg-Warner Automotive
   Control Systems Corporation Blytheville Plant (the "Blytheville Plant"),
   formerly Borg-Warner Automotive Electronic & Mechanical Systems Corporation,
   Blytheville Plant, is the Plan sponsor.  The Blytheville Plant has assigned
   the Retirement Savings Plan Committee (the "Committee") to oversee the Plan
   and the Master Trust.  The Committee has appointed Putnam Investor Services,
   Inc. and Putnam Fiduciary Trust to perform the administrative, investment,
   and trustee services for the Plan and the Master Trust.

   A complete description of the Plan procedures and provisions is contained in
   the Plan document.  Significant Plan features include:

   ELIGIBILITY - Employees of the Blytheville Plant may participate in the Plan
   if they have been employed for at least six consecutive months.

   PARTICIPANT'S ACCOUNT - A Retirement Savings Plan account is established for
   each participant in the Plan.  The participants' account consists of the
   following:

   Company Retirement Account - The Company makes contributions to this account
   on behalf of each eligible participant based on the participant's
   compensation, years of vested service, and age.  No employee contributions
   are made to this account.

   Employee Retirement Account - Participants may voluntarily contribute from
   one to three percent of their compensation to this account.  The Company
   makes contributions equal to 100 percent of participant contributions to
   this account.

   Savings Account - Participants may voluntarily contribute an additional one
   to ten percent of their compensation to this account.  No Company
   contributions are made to this account.

   Retiree Health Account - Participants may voluntarily contribute from
   one to three percent of their compensation to this account.  The Company
   makes contributions equal to 100 percent of participants' contributions to
   this account, up to $400 per year.

                                    - 4 -
<PAGE>   8
   CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLAN - For the year ended December 31, 1995, the
   Company made contributions to the Company Retirement Account for all
   eligible employees as a percentage of compensation based on years of vested
   service as follows:

   MASTER TRUST - Participants may elect to invest their Company
   Retirement Account, Employee Retirement Account, Savings Account and Retiree
   Health Account in one or more of the funds of the Master Trust maintained by
   Putnam Fiduciary Trust, other than the pending account and loan fund which
   are not fund elections available to participants. The funds of the Master
   Trust are as follows:

      Investment Contracts Fund - Invests in investment contracts with either
      highly rated insurance companies or major banks and also in short-term
      investments which provide liquidity.

      Putnam Voyager Fund - Invests a significant portion of its assets in
      securities of smaller and newer issuers.  The fund may borrow money to
      purchase additional portfolio securities.  The fund also trades
      securities for short-term profits.

      Putnam S&P 500 Index Fund - Invests primarily in publicly traded
      common stocks either directly or through collective investment trusts
      having a similar investment objective.  A small portion of the fund's
      assets are invested in high-quality money market instruments and
      financial futures contracts.

      Putnam U.S. Government Bond Fund -   Invests exclusively in
      securities backed by the full faith and credit of the United States
      Government, repurchase agreements, and forward committments with respect
      to such securities.   Effective December 29, 1995, the Master Trust
      discontinued this fund as an investment option and participants'
      investments in this fund were transfered to other participant elected
      investment options.  No balance existed in this fund at December 31,
      1995.

      The George Putnam Fund of Boston - Invests in a well-diversified          
      portfolio of stocks and bonds.

      Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc. Stock Fund - Invests in the common stock of
      Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc.




                                    - 5 -
<PAGE>   9
      Putnam Income Fund- Invests primarily in quality corporate and government
      bonds that pay a rate of interest in regularly scheduled payments.  The
      fund became an eligible investment option in the Master Trust effective
      October 1, 1995.

      Loan Fund - Invests in plan participant loans. Participant borrowings
      increase the Fund balance and principal repayments decrease the Fund
      balance with proceeds reinvested in participant directed fund investment
      elections.  The Loan Fund does not share in the dividends, earnings, and
      gains of the Master Trust.

      Pending Account - Represents (1) forfeitures of nonvested account 
      balances until applied against future Company contributions; (2) proceeds
      from the sale of assets prior to distribution to the newly elected
      investment fund.

   Participant interests in each of the funds are accounted for in units of
   value.  The following is a summary by fund of the number of units and net
   asset value per unit:

</TABLE>

   Contributions to, and earnings of, each fund are invested in appropriate
   holdings on a timely basis.  All purchases of Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc.
   stock are made on the open market.

   VESTING - Fund assets attributable to voluntary participant contributions
   are fully vested at all times.  Fund assets attributable to Company
   contributions vest 100 percent upon completion of five years of


                                    - 6 -
<PAGE>   10
   vested service, or upon permanent disability, death or attaining age 65
   provided, however, the participant is employed by the Company on that date.

   WITHDRAWALS - While participants are actively employed, no withdrawals
   may be made from either the Company Retirement Account, the Employee
   Retirement Account or the Retiree Health Account.  Withdrawals may be made
   from the Savings Account at the participants' option subject to certain
   limitations.  Upon termination of employment, participants may elect an
   immediate or future distribution of the participants' vested account
   balances as permitted by the Plan subject to ERISA regulations.

   LOANS -  Participants may borrow up to 50% of their Savings Account balance
   with a minimum of $500 and a maximum of $50,000 limited to a single loan
   outstanding at any time.  Loan terms range from six months to five years,
   with interest charged at the rate established by the trustee for similar
   loans on the origination date.  No loans are permitted from the Company
   Retirement Account, the Employee Retirement Account or the Retiree Health
   Account.

   PRIORITIES UPON TERMINATION - Although the Company has not expressed any
   intent to discontinue the Plan, it may do so at any time.  In the event of
   termination, the interests of the affected participants shall become fully
   vested.  The Plan assets then remaining shall be used to pay administrative
   expenses and benefits equal to the balance in the participants' accounts.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   INVESTMENTS - The Investment Contracts Fund of the Master Trust is
   stated at cost plus interest earned to date (i.e., contract value) as
   reported by the Trustee. The contract value of the Investment Contract Fund
   approximates the fair value. The average yield for the Investment Contracts
   Fund was 6.9% for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.  The
   Investment Contracts Fund is fully benefit responsive. Investments in all
   other funds are stated at market value as reported by the Trustee.

   ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
   generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
   estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets
   available for benefits as of the date of the financial statements and the
   reported amounts of changes in net assets available for benefits during the
   reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES - Transfer taxes and brokerage expenses attributable
   to the Master Trust assets are charged to the applicable fund.  Any other
   expenses incurred in respect of Master Trust income or property are charged
   to the accounts of the participants, where applicable, or are paid in such
   manner as the Company determines.

   BENEFITS PAYABLE -  In accordance with the AICPA Audit and Accounting
   Guide, Audits of Employee Benefit Plans, the Plan does not record benefits
   payable to participants who have withdrawn from the plan.  As of December
   31, 1995, no benefits were due to participants withdrawn from the Plan.

   RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain 1994 amounts have been reclassified to conform
   with the 1995 presentation.


                                    - 7 -

3. TAX STATUS

   The Plan obtained a determination letter on April 6, 1995 in which the
   Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan was, as then designed, in
   compliance with applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  The
   Plan's management believes it is currently designed and is operated in
   accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Internal Revenue
   Code; therefore, no provision for income taxes has been made in the Plan's
