Moody's cuts ArvinMeritor deeper into junk status

NEW YORK, June 23 (Reuters) - Moody's Investors Service on Thursday cut ArvinMeritor Inc.'s debt ratings deeper into junk status, citing tough conditions for its light vehicle systems unit and reduced liquidity.

Downgrades usually raise a company's borrowing costs.

Moody's cut the company's corporate family and senior unsecured ratings to "Ba2," which is two steps below investment grade, from "Ba1."
