Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the prior year audited consolidated financial statements and all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the consolidated financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The Company has one reportable segment, which includes Autoliv’s airbag and seatbelt products and components. Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and associated notes may not reconcile due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Statements in this report that are not of historical fact are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could affect the actual results of the Company. A description of the important factors that could cause Autoliv’s actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this report may be found in this report and Autoliv’s other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements, footnotes and definitions thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2024 . |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Standards | 2. NEW ACCOU NTING STANDARDS Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( “FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Adoption of new accounting standards None. Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this update require that a public entity make additional disclosures related to segments if it has them. A public entity that has a single reportable segment would be required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this update and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The amendments in this update are affective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2023-07 will have on its financial statements and will adopt the amendments in this update upon the effective date. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures as well as improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update require that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendments in this update also require that all entities disclose on an annual basis certain detailed information about income taxes paid. The amendments in this update related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments allow investors to better assess, in their capital allocation decisions, how an entity’s worldwide operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its income tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The amendments in this update are affective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2023-09 will have on its financial statements and will adopt the amendments in this update prospectively upon the effective date. In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules requiring registrants to disclose climate-related information in their annual reports. The final rules require information about a registrant’s climate-related risks that have materially impacted, or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on, its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. In addition, under the final rules, certain disclosures related to severe weather events and other natural conditions will be required in a registrant’s audited financial statements. The new requirements are required on a prospective basis and a phased-in compliance period becomes effective for the Company beginning with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025. However, pending the resolution of legal challenges that were subsequently filed against these rules, in April 2024, the SEC stayed the effectiveness of the rules. Therefore, the disclosure requirements of these rules and the timing of their effectiveness is uncertain. The Company is currently assessing the anticipated impact that the rules will have on its financial statements if and when effective and will implement disclosures upon any such effective dates. |
Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | 3. FAIR VALU E MEASUREMENTS Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt and other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company uses derivative financial instruments (“derivatives”) as part of its debt management to mitigate the market risk that occurs from its exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Company does not enter into derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes. The Company’s use of derivatives is in accordance with the strategies contained in the Company’s overall financial policy. All derivatives are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. For certain derivatives, hedge accounting is not applied either because non-hedge accounting treatment creates the same accounting result or the hedge does not meet the hedge accounting requirements, although each hedge is entered into applying the same rationale concerning mitigating market risk that occurs from changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of the instruments generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Pricing observability is impacted by several factors, including the type of asset or liability, whether the asset or liability has an established market and the characteristics specific to the transaction. Instruments with readily active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of pricing observability and a lesser degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Conversely, assets rarely traded or not quoted will generally have less, or no, pricing observability and a higher degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. All the Company’s derivatives are classified as Level 2 financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities includes items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed. The carrying value is the same as the fair value as these instruments are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. Although the Company is party to close-out netting agreements (“ISDA agreements”) with its derivative counterparties, the fair values in the tables below and in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 have been presented on a gross basis. According to the ISDA agreements, transaction amounts payable to a counterparty on the same date and in the same currency can be netted. The amounts subject to netting agreements that the Company chose not to offset are presented below. Derivatives designated as hedging instruments There were no derivatives designated as hedging instruments as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023 related to the Company's operations. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments relate to economic hedges and are marked to market with all amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The derivatives no t designated as hedging instruments outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were foreign exchange swaps. For the three months periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the gains (losses) recognized in other non-operating items, net were $ 10 million and $( 5 ) million, respectively, for derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments. The realized part of the gains (losses) referred to above is reported under financing activities in the statement of cash flows. For the three months periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the gains (losses) recognized as interest expense were immaterial. The tables below present information about the Company’s derivative financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (dollars in millions).

Fair Value of Debt The fair value of long-term debt is determined either from quoted market prices as provided by participants in the secondary market, or for long-term debt without quoted market prices, estimated using a discounted cash flow method based on the Company’s current borrowing rates for similar types of financing. The Company has determined that each of these fair value measurements of debt reside within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In February 2024, the Company issued 5.5-year notes for a total of € 500 million in the Eurobond market. The notes carry a coupon of 3.625 % and mature in August 2029. The fair value and carrying value of debt is summarized in the table below (dollars in millions). As of March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Carrying 1) Fair Carrying 1) Fair Long-term debt Bonds $ 1,549 $ 1,555 $ 1,023 $ 1,022 Loans 281 285 301 306 Total long-term debt 1,830 1,840 1,324 1,328 Short-term debt Short-term portion of long-term debt 297 302 297 297 Overdrafts and other short-term debt 13 13 241 241 Total short-term debt $ 310 $ 315 $ 538 $ 538 1) Debt as reported in balance sheet. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company also has assets and liabilities in its balance sheet that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including certain long-lived assets, including equity method investments, goodwill and other intangible assets, typically as it relates to impairment. The Company has determined that the fair value measurements included in each of these assets and liabilities rely primarily on Company-specific inputs, and the Company’s assumptions about the use of the assets and settlements of liabilities, as observable inputs are not available. The Company has determined that each of these fair value measurements reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. To determine the fair value of long-lived assets, the Company utilizes the projected cash flows expected to be generated by the long-lived assets and then discounts the future cash flows over the expected life of the long-lived assets. For the three months period ended March 31, 2024, the Company did no t record any material impairment charges on its long-lived assets for its operations. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 4. INCO ME TAXES The effective tax rate for the three months period ended March 31, 2024 was 27.0 % compared to 31.6 % for the three months period ended March 31, 2023. Discrete tax items, net for the three months period ended March 31, 2024 had a favorable impact of 2.5 % . Discrete tax items, net for the three months period ended March 31, 2023 had an unfavorable impact of 0.8 % . The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. states and non-U.S. jurisdictions. At any given time, the Company is undergoing tax audits in several tax jurisdictions covering multiple years. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examination by the U.S. federal income tax authorities for years prior to 2015. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examination by U.S. state or local tax authorities or by non-U.S. tax authorities for years before 2012. As of March 31, 2024, the Company is not aware of any proposed income tax adjustments resulting from tax examinations that would have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The conclusion of such audits could result in additional increases or decreases to unrecognized tax benefits in some future period or periods. During the three months period ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a net increase o f $ 2 million to income tax reserves for unrecognized tax benefits based on tax positions related to the current year, including accruing additional interest related to unrecognized tax benefits from prior years. Also, during the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a net decrease of $ 13 million to income tax reserves for unrecognized tax benefits based on tax positions taken in prior years, mainly due to the conclusion of tax audits and the expiration of statute of limitations in various jurisdictions. Of the total unrecognized tax benefits of $ 53 million recorded as of March 31, 2024, $ 14 million is classified as current tax payable within Other current liabilities and $ 39 million is classified as non-current tax payable within Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. |

The table below summarizes the change in the balance sheet position of the employee-related restructuring reserves (dollars in millions). The restructuring reserve balances are included within Accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The changes in the employee-related reserves have been charged against Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Restructuring costs other than employee related costs are immaterial for all periods presented.

Product-Related Liabilities | 7. PRODUCT-REL ATED LIABILITIES The Company is exposed to product liability and warranty claims in the event that the Company’s products fail to perform as represented and such failure results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury, and/or property damage or other loss. The Company has reserves for product risks. Such reserves are related to product performance issues, including recalls, product liability and warranty issues. For further explanation, see Note 9. Contingent Liabilities below. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, provisions mainly relate to warranty related issues and cash payments mainly relate to recall related issues. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, provisions and cash payments primarily related to warranty related issues. As of March 31, 2024, the reserve for product related liabilities mainly relates to recall related issues. The table below summarizes the change in the balance sheet position of the product-related liabilities (dollars in millions). The reserve for product related liabilities is included in Accrued expenses and Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s product-related liabilities as of March 31, 2024 are partly covered by insurance. Insurance receivables are included within Other current assets and Other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had total insurance receivables of $ 58 million. Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Reserve at beginning of the period $ 96 $ 145 Change in reserve ( 8 ) 1 Cash payments ( 10 ) ( 5 ) Translation difference ( 1 ) 0 Reserve at end of the period $ 78 $ 141 |

Retirement Plans | 8. RETIR EMENT PLANS The components of total Net Periodic Benefit Cost associated with the Company’s defined benefit retirement plans are as follows (dollars in millions): U.S. Plans Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Interest cost $ 3 $ 3 Expected return on plan assets ( 3 ) ( 2 ) Amortization of actuarial (gain) loss 0 0 Settlement loss 0 0 Net periodic benefit cost $ ( 0 ) $ 1 Non-U.S. Plans Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Service cost $ 2 $ 2 Interest cost 3 2 Expected return on plan assets ( 1 ) ( 1 ) Amortization of actuarial loss 0 0 Settlement/curtailment gain — — Net periodic benefit cost (gain) $ 5 $ 3 The Service cost component in the table above is reported among other employee compensation costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The remaining components - Interest cost, Expected return on plan assets, Amortization of actuarial loss, Settlement loss (gain) and Curtailment gain - are reported as Other non-operating items, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company triggered settlement accounting for the closed U.S. pension plans in the first quarter of 2024 because the lump-sum payments made during the quarter exceeded the sum of Service cost and Interest cost. Due to the settlement accounting, the obligation and plan assets for the U.S. plans have been re-measured as of March 31, 2024, which resulted in an immaterial change in the net pension liability compared to December 31, 2023 . The discount rate used to determine the U.S. net periodic benefit cost because of the re-measurement was changed from 5.13 % to 5.35 % in the first quarter of 2024 . The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets remained unchanged at 6.21 %. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingent Liabilities | 9. CONTINGE NT LIABILITIES Legal Proceedings Various claims, lawsuits and proceedings are pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries, covering a range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities with respect to commercial, product liability and other matters. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of any litigation cannot be assured. After discussions with counsel, and with the exception of potential future losses resulting from the antitrust proceedings described below, it is the opinion of management that the various legal proceedings and investigations to which the Company currently is a party will not have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position of Autoliv, but the Company cannot provide assurance that Autoliv will not experience material litigation, product liability, or other losses in the future. ANTITRUST MATTERS Authorities in several jurisdictions have conducted broad, and in some cases, long-running investigations of suspected anti-competitive behavior among parts suppliers in the global automotive vehicle industry. These investigations included, but are not limited to, the products that the Company sells. In addition to concluded matters, authorities of other countries with significant light vehicle manufacturing or sales may initiate similar investigations. As a result of the outcome of the EC investigation that the Company resolved in 2019, the Company is subject to subsequent civil disputes with non-governmental third parties stemming from the same facts and circumstances underlying the EC investigation. PRODUCT WARRANTY, RECALLS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Autoliv is exposed to various claims for damages and compensation if its products fail to perform as expected. Such claims can be made, and result in costs and other losses to the Company, even where the product is eventually found to have functioned properly. Where a product (actually or allegedly) fails to perform as expected or is defective, the Company may face warranty and recall claims. Where such (actual or alleged) failure or defect results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury and/or property damage, the Company may also face product liability and other claims. There can be no assurance that the Company will not experience material warranty, recall or product (or other) liability claims or losses in the future, or that the Company will not incur significant costs to defend against such claims. The Company may be required to participate in a recall involving its products. Each vehicle manufacturer has its own practices regarding product recalls and other product liability actions relating to its suppliers. As suppliers become more integrally involved in the vehicle design process and assume more of the vehicle assembly functions, vehicle manufacturers are increasingly looking to their suppliers for contribution when faced with recalls and product liability claims. Government safety regulators may also play a role in warranty and recall practices. Recall decisions regarding the Company’s products may require a significant amount of judgment by us, our customers and safety regulators and are influenced by a variety of factors. Once a recall has been made, the cost of a recall is also subject to a significant amount of judgment and discussions between the Company and its customers. A warranty, recall or product-liability claim brought against the Company in excess of its insurance may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. Vehicle manufacturers are also increasingly requiring their outside suppliers to guarantee or warrant their products and bear the costs of repair and replacement of such products under new vehicle warranties. A vehicle manufacturer may attempt to hold the Company responsible for some, or all, of the repair or replacement costs of products when the product supplied did not perform as represented by us or expected by the customer in either a warranty or a recall situation. Accordingly, the future costs of warranty or recall claims by the customers may be material. However, the Company believes its established reserves are adequate. Autoliv’s warranty reserves are based upon the Company’s best estimates of amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims. The Company regularly evaluates the adequacy of these reserves and adjusts them when appropriate. However, the final amounts actually due related to these matters could differ materially from the Company’s recorded estimates. In addition, as vehicle manufacturers increasingly use global platforms and procedures, quality performance evaluations are also conducted on a global basis. Any one or more quality, warranty or other recall issue(s) (including those affecting few units and/or having a small financial impact) may cause a vehicle manufacturer to implement measures such as a temporary or prolonged suspension of new orders, which may have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. The Company maintains a program of insurance, which may include commercial insurance, self-insurance, or a combination of both approaches, for potential recall and product liability claims in amounts and on terms that it believes are reasonable and prudent based on our prior claims experience. The Company’s insurance policies generally include coverage of the costs of a recall, although costs related to replacement parts are generally not covered. In addition, a number of the agreements entered into by the Company, including the Spin-off Agreements, require Autoliv to indemnify the other parties for certain claims. Autoliv cannot assure that the level of coverage will be sufficient to cover every possible claim that can arise in our businesses or with respect to other obligations, now or in the future, or that such coverage always will be available should we, now or in the future, wish to extend, increase or otherwise adjust our insurance. As noted in Note 7 above, as of March 31, 2024, the Company has ac crued $ 78 million for total product related liabilities. The majority of the total product liability accrual as of March 31, 2024, relates to recalls, which are generally covered by insurance. Insurance receivables for such recall related liabilities total $ 58 million as of March 31, 2024. Product Liability : Autoliv and some of its subsidiaries have been named as one of several defendants in a consolidated class action lawsuit in a multi-district litigation (In Re: ARC Airbag Inflators Products Liability Litigation MDL, No. 3051) in the Northern District of Georgia. The plaintiffs in the MDL (the "ARC Inflator Class Action") bring claims for fraud, breach of warranty, and violation of consumer protection and trade practices stemming from ARC inflators included in airbag modules that Autoliv or its subsidiaries allegedly supplied after Autoliv acquired certain Delphi assets (the “Delphi Acquisition”) in December 2009. The Company denies these allegations. Autoliv is not aware of any performance issues regarding ARC inflators included with its airbags at the directions of its customers that it shipped following the Delphi Acquisition. The proceedings remain ongoing. The Company has determined pursuant to ASC 450 that a loss is reasonably possible with respect to the ARC Inflator Class Action. However, the Company continues to evaluate this matter, no accrual has been made, and no estimated range of potential loss can be determined at this time. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the ARC Inflator Class Action. On September 5, 2023, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (the “NHTSA”) issued an initial decision to recall approximately 52 million frontal driver and passenger airbag inflators manufactured by ARC and Delphi Automotive Systems because the NHTSA determined that the airbag inflators contain a safety defect resulting in field ruptures. Some of the ARC inflators included in the airbag modules that Autoliv or its subsidiaries supplied after the Delphi Acquisition were included in such initial decision. The NHTSA has yet to release its final decision. If NHTSA final decision results in a recall, it is anticipated that such decision will be challenged in US federal court. The Company has determined pursuant to ASC 450 that a loss is reasonably possible with respect to the NHTSA ARC recall. However, the Company continues to evaluate this matter, no accrual has been made, and no estimated range of potential loss can be determined at this time. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the NHTSA ARC recall. Specific Recalls: In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company was made aware of a potential recall by American Honda Motor Co. and the recall of approximately 449,000 vehicles relating to the malfunction of front seat belt buckles was announced on March 9, 2023 (the “Honda Buckle Recall ”). The Company determined pursuant to ASC 450 that a loss with respect to the Honda Buckle Recall is probable and accrued an amount that is reflected in the total product liability accrual in the fourth quarter of 2020, increased the accrual in the fourth quarter of 2021 and reduced the accrual in the fourth quarter of 2023 based on vehicle repair cost data. Following the accrual reduction in the fourth quarter of 2023, the amount by which the product liability accrual exceeds the product liability insurance receivable with respect to the Honda Buckle Recall is $ 10 million and includes self-insurance retention costs and deductibles. The ultimate loss to the Company of the Honda Buckle Recall could be materially different from the amount the Company has accrued. Volvo Car USA, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Volvo” ) has recalled approximately 762,000 vehicles relating to the malfunction of inflators produced by ZF (the “ZF Inflator Recall”). The recalled ZF inflators were included in airbag modules supplied by the Company only to Volvo. The recall commenced in November 2020 and later expanded in September 2021. Because the Company’s airbags were involved with the ZF Inflator Recall, the Company has determined pursuant to ASC 450 that a loss is reasonably possible with respect to the ZF Inflator Recall. The Company continues to evaluate this matter with Volvo and ZF and no accrual has been made. Although the Company currently estimates a range of $ 0 to $ 43 million with respect to this potential loss, the Company anticipates that any losses net of insurance claims and claims against ZF will be immaterial. Intellectual Property: In its products, the Company utilizes technologies which may be subject to intellectual property rights of third parties. While the Company does seek to procure the necessary rights to utilize intellectual property rights associated with its products, it may fail to do so. Where the Company so fails, the Company may be exposed to material claims from the owners of such rights. Where the Company has sold products which infringe upon such rights, its customers may be entitled to be indemnified by the Company for the claims they suffer as a result thereof. Such claims could be material. The table in Note 7 above summarizes the change in the balance sheet position of the product-related liabilities. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Standards | Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( “FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Adoption of new accounting standards None. Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this update require that a public entity make additional disclosures related to segments if it has them. A public entity that has a single reportable segment would be required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this update and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The amendments in this update are affective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2023-07 will have on its financial statements and will adopt the amendments in this update upon the effective date. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures as well as improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update require that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendments in this update also require that all entities disclose on an annual basis certain detailed information about income taxes paid. The amendments in this update related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments allow investors to better assess, in their capital allocation decisions, how an entity’s worldwide operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its income tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The amendments in this update are affective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2023-09 will have on its financial statements and will adopt the amendments in this update prospectively upon the effective date. In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules requiring registrants to disclose climate-related information in their annual reports. The final rules require information about a registrant’s climate-related risks that have materially impacted, or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on, its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. In addition, under the final rules, certain disclosures related to severe weather events and other natural conditions will be required in a registrant’s audited financial statements. The new requirements are required on a prospective basis and a phased-in compliance period becomes effective for the Company beginning with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025. However, pending the resolution of legal challenges that were subsequently filed against these rules, in April 2024, the SEC stayed the effectiveness of the rules. Therefore, the disclosure requirements of these rules and the timing of their effectiveness is uncertain. The Company is currently assessing the anticipated impact that the rules will have on its financial statements if and when effective and will implement disclosures upon any such effective dates. |
Contingent Liabilities | Autoliv’s warranty reserves are based upon the Company’s best estimates of amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims. The Company regularly evaluates the adequacy of these reserves and adjusts them when appropriate. However, the final amounts actually due related to these matters could differ materially from the Company’s recorded estimates. |
