Item 8.01
Other Events
In the fourth quarter of 2013, an automotive customer of Sensata Technologies Holding N.V. (the "Company") alleged defects in certain of the Company's sensor products installed in the customer's vehicles during this calendar year. The alleged defects are not safety related. At this time, the total number of vehicles affected and, therefore, the total potential liability of the Company, are not known. The Company considers a loss related to this matter to be probable and, as of the date of this filing, has recorded a $1 million accrual. However, the aggregate amount of the Company's actual liability will ultimately depend on the actions taken by the customer and the number of vehicles affected, and such liability could be material and in excess of the accrual.
