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

On July 17, 2007, Autoliv, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that a U.S. appellate court recently upheld a judgment 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. Autoliv has decided to file a motion for reconsideration of the court decision. As a consequence of the Federal Circuit’s decision, Autoliv has decided to increase its provisions for legal disputes by $30 million that together with existing provisions should cover the amount fully. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
