Auto parts maker Dana Corp. plans to close eight North American plants and reduce operations at three others, the company said Thursday in a regulatory filing. Dana, which filed for bankruptcy protection in March, said it would cut health benefits for retirees and attempt to alter labor contracts at its unionized plants. It was not immediately clear what plants would be closed or how many jobs would be affected.
