Restructuring, Plant Closures and Other Related Costs
Note 10: Restructuring, Plant Closures and Other Related Costs

During fiscal 2013, the Company announced its intention to restructure its Original Equipment - Europe segment.  The Company expects actions will include exiting certain non-core product lines based on our global product strategy, reducing manufacturing costs, implementing headcount reductions, and disposing of or selling certain fixed assets.  The restructuring plan is designed to align the cost structure of the segment with the strategic focus on the commercial vehicle market, while improving gross margin and return on average capital employed.

Since the commencement of the Original Equipment - Europe segment restructuring plan, the Company has incurred $4,502 of termination charges and $59 of other closure costs, in the aggregate.  The Company anticipates incurring additional costs of approximately $12,500 through fiscal 2017 (with the majority being incurred through fiscal 2014), consisting of additional headcount reductions and equipment moving costs.  Total future cash expenditures of approximately $17,000 are anticipated to be incurred related to this restructuring plan.

Prior to fiscal 2013, the Company had been executing a restructuring plan in the U.S. and its Tubingen, Germany facility.  The final plant closure under this restructuring plan was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

Changes in the accrued restructuring liability for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were comprised of the following, related to the above-described restructuring activities:
