Restructuring of Operations

Our restructuring activities have historically included rationalizing our operating footprint by consolidating facilities, positioning operations in lower cost locations and reducing overhead costs. In recent years, however, in response to lower demand and other market conditions in certain businesses, our focus has primarily been headcount reduction initiatives to reduce operating costs. Restructuring expense includes costs associated with current and previously announced actions and is comprised of contractual and noncontractual separation costs and exit costs, including costs associated with lease continuation obligations and certain operating costs of facilities that we are in the process of closing.

During the third quarter of 2016, we approved plans to implement certain headcount reduction initiatives, primarily in our Off-Highway business. Including costs associated with this action and with other previously announced initiatives, restructuring expense during the third quarter of 2016 was $17, including $16 of severance and benefits costs and $1 of exit costs.

During the first half of 2016, we approved and announced the closure of our Commercial Vehicle manufacturing facility in Glasgow, Kentucky. The closure is expected to be completed by mid-2017. We expect that completion of this action will require cash expenditures in the range of $15 to $20, of which $6 represents estimated restructuring charges for employee separation costs, $3 represents estimated restructuring charges for equipment relocation costs and the remainder represents expected capital investment costs for supplier tooling and other exit costs. Including costs associated with these actions and with other previously announced initiatives, restructuring expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $23, including $20 of contractual severance and benefits costs and $3 of exit costs.

During the first nine months of 2015, we implemented certain headcount reduction initiatives, primarily in our Commercial Vehicle business in Brazil in response to lower demand in that region. Including costs associated with this action and with other previously announced initiatives, restructuring expense during the first nine months of 2015 was $13, including $11 of severance and benefits costs and $2 of exit costs.
