AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Aug. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- BorgWarner produces engine timing chains, primary tensioners, guides, arms, balancer chains and balancer tensioners for the Renault Kadjar 2.0L sport utility vehicle, Dongfen Renault Automotive Company's (DRAC's) first vehicle built at its new plant in Wuhan, China. Designed for low mass, dynamic response and high wear resistance, BorgWarner's engine timing system delivers quiet, efficient performance.
