Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
 
For the year ended 2008, the Company recorded $17 million of severance and other charges associated with the closure of a facility in Europe and $6 million related to severance, retention and outplacement services at various production facilities. Also in 2008, the Company recorded $5 million of postemployment benefits related to severance in accordance with SFAS No. 112. This charge was primarily related to the global workforce reduction initiative that began in the fourth quarter of 2008.
 
For the year ended 2008, the Company recorded curtailment gains as a result of the headcount reductions that were undertaken during 2008, and the corresponding reduction of pension and retiree medical benefit obligations to those employees.
 
For the years ended 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded net fixed asset impairments related to restructuring activities to write down certain machinery and equipment to fair value based on estimated future cash flows.
 
For the year ended 2008, the Company recorded other asset impairments of $174 million related to certain definite-lived intangible assets (See Note 6) and $15 million related to the write-down of certain machinery and equipment to fair value based on estimated future cash flows at the Company’s North American facilities.

For the three months ended April 3, 2009, this segment recorded $4 million of postemployment benefit expense related to severance in accordance with SFAS No. 112. This charge was primarily related to the ongoing global workforce reduction initiatives that began in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Sales decreased $292 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease was driven primarily by unfavorable volume and price reductions provided to customers of $494 million, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange of $202 million. The decrease in volume is attributed to lower sales in both North America and Europe resulting from reduced light vehicle production volumes.

Earnings before taxes decreased $414 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease was driven primarily by increased restructuring and impairment costs of $215 million and lower volume and adverse mix net of favorable supplier resolutions that occurred in the prior period, which combined amounted to $152 million. Also contributing to the decrease in earnings were the net unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange of $29 million, higher engineering expense coupled with lower recoveries totaling $17 million, the non-recurrence of a $7 million gain on the sale of an idle facility that occurred in the prior period, and price reductions and inflation in excess of cost reductions of $1 million. These items were partially offset by lower warranty costs of $5 million and reduced pension and other postretirement benefit expense of $2 million.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2008, this segment recorded restructuring charges and asset impairments of $219 million, primarily in connection with the impairment of customer relationship intangible assets of $174 million and severance and other costs of $17 million associated with the closure of a facility in Europe. Severance and other costs of $14 million, offset by net curtailment gains of $2 million, and an increase in fixed asset impairments of $12 million, also contributed to the $215 million increase in restructuring and impairment costs. For the year ended December 31, 2007, this segment recorded restructuring charges and asset impairments of $4 million in connection with the write down of certain machinery and equipment to fair value.

Earnings before taxes increased $33 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was driven primarily by the favorable impact of volume (net of adverse mix) and favorable supplier resolutions, which together totaled $57 million, a gain on the sale of a facility of $7 million, a reduction in net pension and postretirement benefit expense of $6 million, and lower restructuring and impairment costs of $5 million. These items were partially offset by price reductions to our customers and inflation (net of cost reductions) of $33 million, higher engineering expenses of $8 million, and unfavorable foreign currency exchange of $3 million.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2007, this segment recorded restructuring charges and asset impairments of $4 million in connection with the write down of certain machinery and equipment to fair value.
