Item 7.01 Regulation FD.

Update on the impact of GM and Chrysler extended production shutdowns on AAM

•

Based upon updated customer production schedules, AAM currently estimates that the extended production shutdowns by GM and Chrysler will reduce sales by approximately $300 million and will adversely impact operating results by approximately $90 million — $95 million during the second and third quarters of 2009.

On June 1, 2009, American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc., (the “Company” or “AAM”) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that the Company has regained compliance with NYSE’s continued listing standards.

The NYSE received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a pilot program, effective retroactively to May 12, 2009, that lowers the continued listing thresholds related to average market capitalization and stockholders’ equity to $50 million. As of May 12, 2009, AAM’s 30-day average market capitalization was $83 million. AAM is in compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards.

As previously announced, AAM was notified by NYSE in February 2009 that it had fallen below NYSE’s continued listing standard related to total market capitalization and stockholders’ equity.

On June 4, 2009, AAM issued a press release announcing its receipt of the June 1, 2009 NYSE notification. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
