description: >-
  The headline lifecycle fact for this record is a retirement we observed rather than one Dana
  announced: the Dana Aftermarket developer portal and its API host have been withdrawn from DNS.
  Dana publishes no versioning policy, no deprecation policy, no Sunset/Deprecation header
  commitment, no SLA and no status page for any API.
versioning:
  scheme: unknown
  current_version: unknown
  note: No versioning policy is published on any reachable Dana surface.
deprecation_policy:
  published: false
  sunset_header: unknown
  deprecation_header: unknown
  note: >-
    No RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation commitment is documented. The aftermarket API surface was
    withdrawn without any published deprecation notice we could find.
status_page:
  published: false
  url: null
  note: status.dana.com and status.danaaftermarket.com do not resolve; no status page linked from any Dana site.
sla:
  published: false
  note: No public SLA. The 2021 launch material routes prospective users to a Dana sales representative.
observed_retirements:
  - surface: Dana Aftermarket developer portal
    url: https://developer.danaaftermarket.com/
    state: withdrawn
    evidence:
      - fact: Host does not resolve
        detail: >-
          Authoritative NXDOMAIN from the danaaftermarket.com nameservers (ns1-06.azure-dns.com),
          confirmed against 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 on 2026-09-07.
      - fact: Last Internet Archive capture
        detail: >-
          2025-11-12 (http://web.archive.org/web/20251112042141/http://developer.danaaftermarket.com/).
          The captured body is a 618-byte Angular SPA shell titled "Dana Developer Portal" — the
          reference itself only ever existed after script execution and behind a login.
      - fact: Announced 2021-06-03
        detail: >-
          Dana announced eight active APIs — advanced shipping notification, availability, deep
          linking, order status, part details, part search by application, place order, and
          pricing — and directed customers to log in and test them at developer.danaaftermarket.com.
    withdrawn_between: ['2025-11-12', '2026-09-07']
  - surface: Dana Aftermarket API host
    url: https://api.danaaftermarket.com
    state: withdrawn
    evidence:
      - fact: Host does not resolve
        detail: Authoritative NXDOMAIN, same zone and same probe date as the portal.
    note: >-
      This host is still carried as the baseURL of the Dana Aftermarket API entry in apis.yml.
      It is left in place as the historically correct base rather than replaced with a guess;
      this record is the honest statement that it is currently unreachable.
live_surfaces:
  - surface: Dana API gateway
    url: https://api.dana.com
    state: live-but-closed
    evidence:
      - fact: CNAME to apim-danaedsetl.azure-api.net
        detail: >-
          A Dana-controlled Azure API Management gateway. Every probed path returns the APIM
          gateway body {"statusCode":404,"message":"Resource not found"} with HTTP 404 — the
          gateway is running and answering, but exposes no anonymous product, spec, or portal.
  - surface: DanaAftermarket.com commerce platform
    url: https://www.danaaftermarket.com/
    state: live
    evidence:
      - fact: HTTP 200
        detail: >-
          Live B2B ordering platform. Every function is behind /SignIn; the public HTML carries
          no developer, API, or documentation link.
corporate_lifecycle:
  - event: Off-Highway business divested
    detail: >-
      Dana's FY2025 Form 10-K (filed 2026-02-27) reports the Off-Highway business as a
      discontinued operation and states that, as of January 1, 2026, after the divestiture,
      Dana operated sixty-six major manufacturing and assembly plants. The apis.yml description
      still described this as an announced 2025 agreement; updated in this pass.
