September 2020 Plan

In September 2020, we initiated a restructuring plan focused on optimizing our manufacturing footprint and improving operational efficiency by better utilizing our systems capabilities (the "September 2020 Plan"). This plan includes transitioning certain administrative functions to a shared service center, realignment of manufacturing locations, and certain other efficiency improvement actions. The restructuring cost of the September 2020 Plan is now estimated to be in the range of $3,500 to $4,500, including workforce reduction charges, building and equipment relocation charges and other contract and asset-related costs. We have incurred $1,397 program to date. There were no substantial restructuring charges under the September 2020 Plan  during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. There was no restructuring liability related to the September 2020 Plan as of September 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2020 the liability related to the September 2020 Plan was  $512.

June 2016 Plan

In June 2016, we announced plans to restructure operations by phasing out production at our Elkhart, Indiana facility and transitioning it into a research and development center supporting our global operations (the "June 2016 Plan"). Additional organizational changes were also implemented in various other locations. In 2017, we revised the June 2016 Plan to include an additional $1,100 in planned costs related to the relocation of our corporate headquarters in Lisle, Illinois and our plant in Bolingbrook, Illinois, both of which have now been consolidated into a single facility. These restructuring actions were completed as of March 31, 2021.

April 2014 Plan

In April 2014, we announced plans to restructure our operations and consolidate our Canadian operations into other existing facilities as part of our overall plan to simplify our business model and rationalize our global footprint (the “April 2014 Plan”). These restructuring actions were substantially completed during 2015 and the remaining liability was settled in the second quarter of 2021.

Other Restructuring Activities

From time to time we undertake other restructuring activities that are not part of a formal plan. Charges associated with these restructuring activities primarily relate to workforce reduction costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred restructuring charges of $319 and $582, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred restructuring charges of $33 and $440, respectively. The total restructuring liability associated with these actions was $263 at September 30, 2021 and $9 at December 31, 2020.

The following table displays the restructuring liability activity included in accrued expenses and other liabilities for all plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:
