Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

On September 25, 2007, Autoliv, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that a U.S. appellate court would not reconsider the decision previously entered against Autoliv ASP Inc., a subsidiary of Autoliv Inc. The judgment requires Autoliv ASP to pay damages and interest to a former supplier. The aggregate amount could total approximately $36 million depending on the court’s calculation of post-judgment interest, which has not yet been made. As previously disclosed, Autoliv increased its provisions for legal disputes by $30 million during the second quarter of 2007. The provision is expected to cover the total judgment amount. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
