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 second quarter of 2017, we approved plans to implement certain headcount reduction initiatives in our Off-Highway business as part of the BPT and BFP acquisition integration which resulted in restructuring expense of $8, primarily for severance and benefit costs. In each of this year's first and second quarters, we recognized restructuring expense of $2 primarily for exist costs associated with continued execution of previously announced actions.

During the second quarter of 2016, we announced closure of our Commercial Vehicle manufacturing facility in Glasgow, Kentucky. Including costs associated with this closure and other previously announced initiatives, restructuring expense during the second quarter of 2016 was $4 of severance and benefits costs and $1 of exit costs. Restructuring expense of $1 in last year's first quarter also primarily represented continuing exit costs associated with previously announced actions.
