Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]	'
PRESENTATION	'
	PRESENTATION

	Our financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. We show certain of our financial statements on both a consolidated and a sector basis for our Automotive and Financial Services sectors. Intercompany items have been eliminated in both the consolidated and sector balance sheets. Where the presentation of these intercompany eliminations or consolidated adjustments differs between the consolidated and sector financial statements, reconciliations of certain line items are explained below in this Note or in related footnotes.

	In the opinion of management, these unaudited financial statements reflect a fair statement of the results of operations and financial condition of Ford Motor Company, its consolidated subsidiaries, and consolidated VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary for the periods and at the dates presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. Reference should be made to the financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Form 10-K Report”). For purposes of this report, “Ford,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or similar references mean Ford Motor Company, our consolidated subsidiaries, and our consolidated VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary, unless the context requires otherwise.

	We reclassified certain prior year amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

	Change in accounting. We provide medical, life, and income benefits to hourly and salary employees when they become disabled. As of January 1, 2014, we changed our accounting policy for these benefits from an event-driven model to a service-accrual model, such that our obligation now includes an estimated cost to be incurred for individuals who are disabled at the time of measurement (which was the amount recorded under our previous policy) as well as an amount that considers the probability that active employees will become disabled in the future. We believe this change in accounting method is preferable because it better aligns the recognition of expense with the periods in which the Company receives the benefit of the employees’ services, and will allow for better comparability with the method used by other companies in our industry.
	We have retroactively applied this change in accounting method to all prior period amounts. As of December 31, 2012, the cumulative effect of the change decreased Total equity by $303 million and increased Other liabilities and deferred revenue by $468 million, as well as increased Deferred income taxes by $165 million. As of December 31, 2013, the cumulative effect of the change decreased Total equity by $271 million and increased Other liabilities and deferred revenue by $424 million, as well as increased Deferred income taxes by $153 million. The effect of this change was immaterial on income statement and statement of cash flow amounts for the interim periods ended June 30, 2014, and had no impact for the interim periods ended June 30, 2013.
	Adoption of New Accounting Standards

	Income Taxes - Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. On January 1, 2014, we adopted the new accounting standard that requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a decrease in a deferred tax asset when a net operating loss, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists, and certain criteria are met. The new accounting standard is consistent with our prior practice, thus the adoption did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

	Foreign Currency Matters - Parent’s Accounting for Cumulative Translation Adjustment. On January 1, 2014, we adopted the new accounting standard that clarifies the applicable guidance for a parent company’s accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. The new accounting standard is consistent with our prior practice, thus the adoption did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

	Liabilities - Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements. On January 1, 2014, we adopted the new accounting standard that provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements. The adoption of this accounting standard did not impact our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.

Venezuelan Operations

On February 13, 2013, the Venezuelan government effected a devaluation of the bolivar, from an exchange rate of 4.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar to an exchange rate of 6.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. This resulted in a remeasurement loss of $186 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Based on changes to Venezuelan currency exchange rate mechanisms in the first quarter of 2014, we changed the exchange rate we used to remeasure the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiaries in U.S. dollars. Beginning March 31, 2014, we now use the exchange rate determined by periodic auctions for U.S. dollars conducted under Venezuela’s Complementary System of Foreign Currency Administration (“SICAD I”). The exchange rate we used at March 31, 2014, was 10.8 bolivars to the U.S. dollar and resulted in a remeasurement loss of $316 million in the first quarter of 2014 ($310 million related to our Automotive sector and $6 million related to our Financial Services sector). At June 30, 2014, the SICAD I exchange rate was 10.6 bolivars to the U.S. dollar.

NOTE 1. PRESENTATION *(Continued)*

The operating environment in Venezuela continues to be challenging. Foreign exchange control regulations have affected our Venezuelan operation’s ability to pay dividends and obligations denominated in U.S. dollars and are constraining parts availability and our ability to maintain normal production. At June 30, 2014, our investment in our Venezuelan subsidiaries (which includes undistributed earnings) was $535 million. Also, at June 30, 2014, they had $281 million of U.S. dollar currency exchange requests pending with and in transit to the governmental controlled currency exchanges, including $275 million payable to other Ford consolidated affiliates.

At June 30, 2014, our Venezuelan subsidiaries had a bolivar-denominated net monetary position of $391 million, including $388 million of bolivar-denominated cash and cash equivalents. A further devaluation from an exchange rate of 10.6 bolivars to the U.S. dollar would result in a balance sheet remeasurement loss.

	ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED

	Revenue - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard that requires recognition of revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard supersedes virtually all present U.S. GAAP guidance on revenue recognition. The new standard requires the use of more estimates and judgments than the present standards and requires additional disclosures. The new accounting standard is effective as of January 1, 2017 and we are assessing the potential impact to our consolidated financial statements and financial statement disclosures.

	Transfers and Servicing - Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings and Disclosures. In June 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase financing arrangements. The new standard also requires additional disclosures for certain transfers of financial assets with agreements that both entitle and obligate the transferor to repurchase the transferred assets from the transferee. The new accounting standard is effective as of January 1, 2015 and we do not expect it to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

	Stock Compensation - Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. In June 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that requires performance targets that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as performance conditions that affect the vesting of the award. The new accounting standard is effective as of January 1, 2016 and we do not expect it to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

	Cash equivalents, marketable securities, and derivative financial instruments are presented on our financial statements on a recurring basis at fair value, while other assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as when we have an asset impairment. There have been no changes to the types of inputs used or the valuation techniques since year end. During the second quarter of 2014, we impaired our equity in net assets of Ford Sollers Netherlands B.V. (“Ford Sollers”), which resulted in a fair value measurement on a non-recurring basis.

Receivables [Abstract]	'
FINANCE RECEIVABLES	'
	FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR FINANCE RECEIVABLES

	Our Financial Services sector finance receivables primarily relate to Ford Credit, but also include the Other Financial Services segment and certain intersector eliminations.

	Our Financial Services sector segments our finance receivables into North America and International “consumer” and “non-consumer” portfolios. The receivables are generally secured by the vehicles, inventory, or other property being financed.

	Finance receivables are recorded at the time of origination or purchase at fair value and are subsequently reported at amortized cost, net of any allowance for credit losses.
	Consumer Portfolio. Receivables in this portfolio include products offered to individuals and businesses that finance the acquisition of Ford and Lincoln vehicles from dealers for personal or commercial use. Retail financing includes retail installment contracts for new and used vehicles and direct financing leases with retail customers, government entities, daily rental companies, and fleet customers.

	Non-Consumer Portfolio. Receivables in this portfolio include products offered to automotive dealers. The products include:


	•	Dealer financing – includes wholesale loans to dealers to finance the purchase of vehicle inventory, also known as floorplan financing, as well as loans to dealers to finance working capital and improvements to dealership facilities, finance the purchase of dealership real estate, and finance other dealer programs. Wholesale financing is approximately 95% of dealer financing

	•	Other – primarily related to the sale of parts and accessories to dealers

	__________

	(a)	At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Finance receivables, net on the consolidated balance sheet were $80 billion and $77.5 billion, respectively. The balance is comprised of Financial Services sector finance receivables of $86 billion and $80.8 billion, respectively, net of $6 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively, of receivables purchased by Financial Services sector from Automotive sector, which are reclassified to Other receivables, net.

	(b)	At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, excludes $1.7 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, of certain receivables (primarily direct financing leases) that are not subject to fair value disclosure requirements.

	Excluded from finance receivables at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, was $182 million and $196 million, respectively, of accrued uncollected interest, which we report in Other assets on the balance sheet.

	Included in the recorded investment in finance receivables at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were North America consumer receivables of $20.8 billion and $21.8 billion and non-consumer receivables of $19.3 billion and $18.9 billion, respectively, and International consumer receivables of $5.9 billion and $5.9 billion and non-consumer receivables of $4.2 billion and $5 billion, respectively, that secure certain debt obligations. The receivables are available only for payment of the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions; they are not available to pay the other obligations of our Financial Services sector or the claims of Ford Credit’s other creditors. Ford Credit holds the right to receive the excess cash flows not needed to pay the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions (see Notes 7 and 11).




	NOTE 4. FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR FINANCE RECEIVABLES *(Continued)*

Aging

For all finance receivables, we define “past due” as any payment, including principal and interest, that is at least 31 days past the contractual due date. The recorded investment of consumer receivables greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest was $13 million and $14 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest was $6 million and $21 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The aging analysis of our finance receivables balances were as follows (in millions):

Credit Quality

Consumer Portfolio. When originating all classes of consumer receivables, we use a proprietary scoring system that measures the credit quality of the receivables using several factors, such as credit bureau information, consumer credit risk scores (e.g., FICO score), and contract characteristics. In addition to our proprietary scoring system, we consider other individual consumer factors, such as employment history, financial stability, and capacity to pay.

Subsequent to origination, we review the credit quality of retail financing based on customer payment activity. As each customer develops a payment history, we use an internally-developed behavioral scoring model to assist in determining the best collection strategies which allows us to focus collection activity on higher-risk accounts. These models are used to refine our risk-based staffing model to ensure collection resources are aligned with portfolio risk. Based on data from this scoring model, contracts are categorized by collection risk. Our collection models evaluate several factors, including origination characteristics, updated credit bureau data, and payment patterns.

Credit quality ratings for consumer receivables are based on aging. Refer to the aging table above.

Consumer receivables credit quality ratings are as follows:


•	Pass – current to 60 days past due

•	Special Mention – 61 to 120 days past due and in intensified collection status

•	Substandard – greater than 120 days past due and for which the uncollectible portion of the receivables has already been charged-off, as measured using the fair value of collateral





NOTE 4. FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR FINANCE RECEIVABLES *(Continued)*

Non-Consumer Portfolio. We extend credit to dealers primarily in the form of lines of credit to purchase new Ford and Lincoln vehicles as well as used vehicles. Payment is required when the dealer has sold the vehicle. Each non-consumer lending request is evaluated by taking into consideration the borrower’s financial condition and the underlying collateral securing the loan. We use a proprietary model to assign each dealer a risk rating. This model uses historical dealer performance data to identify key factors about a dealer that we consider most significant in predicting a dealer’s ability to meet its financial obligations. We also consider numerous other financial and qualitative factors of the dealer’s operations including capitalization and leverage, liquidity and cash flow, profitability, and credit history with ourselves and other creditors. A dealer’s risk rating does not reflect any guarantees or a dealer owner’s net worth.

Dealers are assigned to one of four groups according to risk ratings as follows:


•	Group I – strong to superior financial metrics

•	Group II – fair to favorable financial metrics

•	Group III – marginal to weak financial metrics

•	Group IV – poor financial metrics, including dealers classified as uncollectible

We suspend credit lines and extend no further funding to dealers classified in Group IV.

We regularly review our model to confirm the continued business significance and statistical predictability of the factors and update the model to incorporate new factors or other information that improves its statistical predictability. In addition, we regularly audit dealer inventory and dealer sales records to verify that the dealer is in possession of the financed vehicles and is promptly paying each receivable following the sale of the financed vehicle. The frequency of on-site vehicle inventory audits depends on factors such as the dealer’s risk rating and our security position. Under our policies, on-site vehicle inventory audits of low-risk dealers are conducted only as circumstances warrant. Audits of higher-risk dealers are conducted with increased frequency based on risk ratings and our security position. We perform a credit review of each dealer at least annually and adjust the dealer’s risk rating, if necessary.

The credit quality of dealer financing receivables is evaluated based on our internal dealer risk rating analysis. A dealer has the same risk rating for its entire dealer financing regardless of the type of financing.

The credit quality analysis of our dealer financing receivables was as follows (in millions):


	June 30, 2014												December 31, 2013

Impaired Receivables. Impaired consumer receivables include accounts that have been rewritten or modified in reorganization proceedings pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that are considered to be troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), as well as all accounts greater than 120 days past due. Impaired non-consumer receivables represent accounts with dealers that have weak or poor financial metrics or dealer financing that has been modified in TDRs. The recorded investment of consumer receivables that were impaired at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $419 million, or 0.8% of consumer receivables, and $435 million, or 0.9% of consumer receivables, respectively. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables that were impaired at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $125 million, or 0.4% of non-consumer receivables, and $71 million, or 0.2% of the non-consumer receivables, respectively. Impaired finance receivables are evaluated both collectively and specifically. See Note 5 for additional information related to the development of our allowance for credit losses.




NOTE 4. FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR FINANCE RECEIVABLES *(Continued)*

Non-Accrual Receivables. The accrual of revenue is discontinued at the earlier of the time a receivable is determined to be uncollectible, at bankruptcy status notification, or greater than 120 days past due. Accounts may be restored to accrual status only when a customer settles all past-due deficiency balances and future payments are reasonably assured. For receivables in non-accrual status, subsequent financing revenue is recognized only to the extent a payment is received. Payments are generally applied first to outstanding interest and then to the unpaid principal balance.

The recorded investment of consumer receivables in non-accrual status was $216 million, or 0.4% of our consumer receivables at June 30, 2014, and $238 million, or 0.5% of consumer receivables at December 31, 2013. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables in non-accrual status was $102 million, or 0.3% of our non-consumer receivables at June 30, 2014, and $41 million, or 0.1% of non-consumer receivables at December 31, 2013.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. A restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR if we grant a concession to a debtor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties that we otherwise would not consider. Consumer and non-consumer receivables that have a modified interest rate below market rate or that were modified in reorganization proceedings pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, except non-consumer receivables that are current with minimal risk of loss, are considered to be TDRs. We do not grant concessions on the principal balance of our receivables. If a receivable is modified in a reorganization proceeding, all payment requirements of the reorganization plan need to be met before remaining balances are forgiven. The outstanding recorded investment at time of modification for consumer receivables that are considered to be TDRs was $96 million, or 0.2% of consumer receivables, and $109 million, or 0.2% of consumer receivables, during the periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The annualized subsequent default rate of TDRs that were previously modified in TDRs within the last 12 months and resulted in repossession for consumer receivable was 6.0% and 6.0% of TDRs at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. There were no non-consumer receivables involved in TDRs during the periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Finance receivables involved in TDRs are specifically assessed for impairment. An impairment charge is recorded as part of the provision to the allowance for credit losses for the amount that the recorded investment of the receivable exceeds its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on either the present value of the expected future cash flows of the receivable discounted at the contract’s original effective interest rate, or, for receivables where foreclosure is probable, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for estimated costs to sell. The allowance for credit losses related to all active consumer TDRs was $22 million and $22 million at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The allowance for credit losses related to all active non-consumer TDRs was de minimis at June 30, 2014 and 2013.

	All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost for a substantial portion of U.S. inventories is determined on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. LIFO was used for 26% and 20% of total inventories at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Cost of other inventories is determined by costing methods that approximate a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis.

	VIEs of Which We are Not the Primary Beneficiary

	We have invested in joint ventures that are VIEs and in which the power to direct economically significant activities is shared with the joint venture partner. Our investments in the joint ventures are accounted for as equity method investments. Our maximum exposure to any potential losses associated with these joint ventures is limited to our investment, and was $343 million and $336 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

	VIEs of Which We are the Primary Beneficiary

	Through Ford Credit, we securitize, transfer, and service financial assets associated with consumer finance receivables, operating leases, and wholesale loans. Our securitization transactions typically involve the legal transfer of financial assets to bankruptcy remote special purpose entities. The third-party investors in these securitization entities have legal recourse only to the assets securing the debt and do not have recourse to us, except for the customary representation and warranty provisions. In addition, the cash flows generated by the assets are restricted only to pay such liabilities. We generally retain economic interests in the asset-backed securitization transactions, which are retained in the form of senior or subordinated interests, cash reserve accounts, residual interests, and servicing rights. For accounting purposes, we are precluded from recording the transfers of assets in securitization transactions as sales.

	In most cases, the bankruptcy remote special purpose entities meet the definition of VIEs for which we have determined we have both the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could be significant, and would therefore also be consolidated. We account for all securitization transactions as if they were secured financing and therefore the assets, liabilities and related activity of these VIEs are consolidated in our financial results and are included in amounts presented on the face of our consolidated balance sheet and in the related footnotes.

	IMPAIRMENT OF EQUITY IN NET ASSETS OF AFFILIATED COMPANIES

	We formed the Ford Sollers joint venture in October 2011, through which we operate in the Russian market. Upon contribution of our then wholly-owned operations in Russia to the joint venture, in exchange for cash and notes receivable in the amount of $307 million and a 50% equity ownership in the new joint venture, we deconsolidated the related assets and liabilities, recorded equity in net assets of Ford Sollers at its fair value of $364 million, and recognized a pre-tax gain of $401 million. The fair value was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis with assumptions of relevant factors made at that time.

	Recently, the Russian market has experienced a weaker ruble, lower industry volume, and industry segmentation changes that negatively impact sales of Focus. These factors have reduced expected cash flows for Ford Sollers in the near term, thereby reducing the fair value of our equity in net assets of affiliated companies. Accordingly, we recorded a $329 million pre-tax impairment at June 30, 2014. The non-cash charge was reported in Equity in net income of affiliated companies.

	We measured the fair value of our equity in net assets of Ford Sollers using a discounted cash flow analysis. We used cash flows that reflect Ford Sollers present plan, aligned with assumptions a market participant would make. We assumed a discount rate of 15% based on the appropriate weighted average cost of capital, adjusted for perceived business risks related to regulatory concerns, political tensions, foreign exchange volatility, and risk associated with the Russian automotive industry.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	'
	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

	In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, certain commodity prices, and interest rates. To manage these risks, we enter into various derivatives contracts:


	•	Foreign currency exchange contracts, including forwards and options, that are used to manage foreign exchange exposure;

	•	Commodity contracts, including forwards and options, that are used to manage commodity price risk;

	•	Interest rate contracts including swaps, caps, and floors that are used to manage the effects of interest rate fluctuations; and

	•	Cross-currency interest rate swap contracts that are used to manage foreign currency and interest rate exposures on foreign-denominated debt.

	Our derivatives are over-the-counter customized derivative transactions and are not exchange-traded. We review our hedging program, derivative positions, and overall risk management strategy on a regular basis.

	Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting. Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and presented on a gross basis.

	We have elected to apply hedge accounting to certain derivatives. Derivatives that are designated in hedging relationships are evaluated for effectiveness using regression analysis at the time they are designated and throughout the hedge period.

	Some derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting; for others, we elect not to apply hedge accounting. Regardless, we only enter into transactions that we believe will be highly effective at offsetting the underlying economic risk.

	Cash Flow Hedges. Our Automotive sector has designated certain forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions with exposure to foreign currency exchange and commodity price risks.

	The effective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges is deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) and is recognized in Automotive cost of sales when the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion is reported in Automotive cost of sales in the period of measurement. Our policy is to de-designate foreign currency exchange cash flow hedges prior to the time forecasted transactions are recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and report subsequent changes in fair value through Automotive cost of sales. If it becomes probable that the originally-forecasted transaction will not occur, the related amount included in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) is reclassified and recognized in earnings. The majority of our cash flow hedges mature in two years or less.

	Fair Value Hedges. Our Financial Services sector uses derivatives to reduce the risk of changes in the fair value of debt. We have designated certain receive-fixed, pay-float interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of fixed-rate debt. The risk being hedged is the risk of changes in the fair value of the hedged debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. If the hedge relationship is deemed to be highly effective, we record the changes in the fair value of the hedged debt related to the risk being hedged in Financial Services debt with the offset in Financial Services other income/(loss), net. The change in fair value of the related derivative (excluding accrued interest) also is recorded in Financial Services other income/(loss), net. Net interest settlements and accruals on fair value hedges are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are reported in Interest expense. The cash flows associated with fair value hedges are reported in Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities on our statement of cash flows.

	Hedge ineffectiveness is the difference between the change in fair value of the derivative instrument and the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Ineffectiveness is recorded directly to income.

	When a fair value hedge is de-designated, or when the derivative is terminated before maturity, the fair value adjustment to the hedged debt continues to be reported as part of the carrying value of the debt and is amortized over its remaining life.


	NOTE 12. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

	Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments. Our Automotive sector reports changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments through Automotive cost of sales. Cash flows associated with non-designated or de-designated derivatives are reported in Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities on our statements of cash flows.

	Our Financial Services sector reports net interest settlements and accruals and changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps not designated as hedging instruments in Financial Services other income/(loss), net. Foreign currency revaluation on accrued interest along with gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts and cross currency interest rate swaps are reported in Financial Services other income/(loss), net. Cash flows associated with non-designated or de-designated derivatives are reported in Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities on our statements of cash flows.

	Normal Purchases and Normal Sales Classification. We have elected to apply the normal purchases and normal sales classification for physical supply contracts that are entered into for the purpose of procuring commodities to be used in production over a reasonable period in the normal course of our business.

	Income Effect of Derivative Financial Instruments

	The following table summarizes by hedge designation the pre-tax gains/(losses) recorded in Other comprehensive income/(loss) (“OCI”), reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (“AOCI”) to income, and/or recognized directly in income for the periods ended June 30 (in millions):

The amounts exchanged are calculated by reference to the notional amounts and by other terms of the derivatives, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or commodity volumes and prices.

On our sector balance sheet, derivative assets are reported in Other current assets and Other assets for our Automotive sector and in Other assets for our Financial Services sector. Derivative liabilities are reported in Payables and Other liabilities and deferred revenue for our Automotive sector and in Other liabilities and deferred income for our Financial Services sector.




NOTE 12. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

Counterparty Risk and Collateral

The use of derivatives exposes us to the risk that a counterparty may default on a derivative contract. We establish exposure limits for each counterparty to minimize this risk and provide counterparty diversification. Substantially all of our derivative exposures are with counterparties that have an investment grade rating. The aggregate fair value of our derivative instruments in asset positions on June 30, 2014 was $1 billion, representing the maximum loss that we would recognize at that date if all counterparties failed to perform as contracted. We enter into master agreements with counterparties that may allow for netting of exposures in the event of default or termination of the counterparty agreement due to breach of contract.

The gross and net amounts of derivative assets and liabilities were as follows (in millions):


	June 30, 2014							31-Dec-13
	Fair Value of Assets				Fair Value of Liabilities			Fair Value of Assets				Fair Value of Liabilities
Automotive Sector
Gross derivative amounts recognized in balance sheet	$	325			$	474		$	580			$	418

Gross derivative amounts not offset in the balance sheet that are eligible for offsetting	(267		)		(267		)	(359		)		(359		)

Net amount	$	437			$	84		$	289			$	210


We may receive or pledge cash collateral with certain counterparties based on our net position with regard to foreign currency and commodity derivative contracts, which is reported in Other assets or Payables on our consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we did not receive or pledge any cash collateral.

We include an adjustment for non-performance risk in the measurement of fair value of derivative instruments. Our adjustment for non-performance risk is relative to a measure based on an unadjusted inter-bank deposit rate (e.g., LIBOR). For our Automotive sector, at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our adjustment decreased derivative assets by $1 million and $1 million, respectively, and decreased derivative liabilities by $1 million and $1 million, respectively. For our Financial Services sector, at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our adjustment increased derivative assets by $1 million and $2 million, respectively, and decreased derivative liabilities by $5 million and $25 million, respectively. See Note 3 for more detail on valuation methodologies.

	REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

	AutoAlliance International, Inc. (“AAI”) is a 50/50 joint venture between Ford and Mazda Motor Corporation (“Mazda”) that owns an automobile assembly plant in Flat Rock, Michigan. On September 1, 2012, we granted to Mazda a put option to sell and received a call option to purchase from Mazda the 50% equity interest in AAI that is held by Mazda (the “Option”). The Option is exercisable at a price of $339 million and is recorded as a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the mezzanine section of our balance sheet. As a result of an amendment in the second quarter of 2014, Mazda’s share in AAI is now redeemable by Ford or Mazda for a three-year period commencing in the fourth quarter of 2014, instead of September 1, 2015. The change in timing does not change the Option exercise price. The following table summarizes the change in our carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest for the periods ended June 30 (in millions):


		First Half

	EMPLOYEE SEPARATION ACTIONS AND EXIT AND DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES

	We record costs associated with voluntary separations at the time of employee acceptance, unless the acceptance requires explicit approval by the Company. We record costs associated with involuntary separation programs when management has approved the plan for separation, the affected employees are identified, and it is unlikely that actions required to complete the separation plan will change significantly. When a plan of separation requires approval by or consultation with the relevant labor organization or government, the costs are recorded after the required approval or consultation process is complete. Costs associated with benefits that are contingent on the employee continuing to provide service are accrued over the required service period.

	Automotive Sector

	Business Restructuring - Europe

	In October 2012, we committed to commence a transformation plan for our Europe operations. As part of this plan, we closed two manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom in 2013 and are in the process of closing our assembly plant in Genk, Belgium at the end of 2014. The Genk closure was subject to an information and consultation process with employee representatives, which was completed in June 2013. The costs related to these closures were recorded beginning in the second quarter of 2013.

	Separation-related costs, recorded in Automotive cost of sales and Selling, administrative and other expenses, include both the costs associated with voluntary separation programs in the United Kingdom and involuntary employee actions at Genk, as well as payments to suppliers. The following table summarizes the separation-related activity recorded in Other liabilities and deferred revenue, for the periods ended June 30 (in millions):

	Our current estimate of total separation-related costs for the U.K. and Genk facilities is approximately $1 billion, excluding approximately $200 million of pension-related costs. The separation related costs not yet recorded will be expensed as the employees and suppliers continue to support Genk plant operations.

	CAPITAL STOCK AND AMOUNTS PER SHARE

	We present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts in our financial reporting. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to Common and Class B Stock holders by the weighted-average number of Common and Class B Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the maximum potential dilution that could occur from our share-based compensation, including “in-the-money” stock options and unvested restricted stock units, and conversion into Ford Common Stock of our outstanding convertible notes. Potential dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation if they have an anti-dilutive effect in the period.

	Share Repurchase Program

	In May 2014, our board of directors approved a repurchase program for up to approximately 116 million shares of Ford Common Stock, which will offset share dilution and help improve shareholder returns. Up to 12.6 million shares will be repurchased to offset the dilutive effect of share-based employee incentive compensation granted in 2014. In addition, up to 103 million shares will be repurchased to offset the dilutive effect of potential conversions of our 4.25% Senior Convertible Notes due November 15, 2016. Beginning November 20, 2014, and subject to certain limitations relating to the price of Ford Common Stock, we can terminate holders’ conversion rights. In that event, holders would have 30 days after notice to convert their shares. We have the right to settle any conversion with shares, cash, or a combination of shares and cash. Share repurchases under this program are intended to offset the dilutive effect of any shares we elect to issue to settle these potential conversions.

	As of June 30, 2014, we have repurchased 57.6 million shares of Ford Common Stock under this program.

	Effective January 1, 2014, we changed our Automotive sector reportable segments to establish a fifth Automotive segment—Middle East & Africa—which includes South Africa and markets that were previously direct export markets in the Middle East and Africa regions. Previously, South Africa results were included in Asia Pacific Africa and direct export markets were reflected in the results of the producing region or segment. We have realigned reporting of our direct export markets on a geographic basis. Results for prior periods are presented on the new basis.

	Our Automotive sector is comprised of the following segments: North America, South America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia Pacific. Included in each segment, described below, are the associated costs to develop, manufacture, distribute, and service vehicles and parts.

	North America segment primarily includes the sale of Ford and Lincoln brand vehicles and related service parts and accessories in North America.

	South America segment primarily includes the sale of Ford brand vehicles and related service parts and accessories in South America.

	Europe segment primarily includes the sale of Ford brand vehicles, components, and related service parts and accessories in Europe, Turkey, and Russia.

	Middle East & Africa segment primarily includes the sale of Ford and Lincoln brand vehicles and related service parts and accessories in the Middle East and Africa region.

	Asia Pacific segment primarily includes the sale of Ford brand vehicles and related service parts and accessories in the Asia Pacific region.

	Automotive segment results are presented on a “where-sold,” absolute-cost basis, which reflects the profit/(loss) on the sale within the segment in which the ultimate sale is made to our external customer. This presentation generally eliminates the effect of legal entity transfer prices within the Automotive sector for vehicles, components, and product engineering.

	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

	Commitments and contingencies consist primarily of guarantees and indemnifications, litigation and claims, and warranty.

	Guarantees and Indemnifications

	Guarantees and indemnifications are recorded at fair value at their inception. We regularly review our performance risk under these arrangements, and in the event it becomes probable we will be required to perform under the guarantee or indemnification, the amount of probable payment is recorded.

	We guarantee debt and lease obligations of certain joint ventures, as well as certain financial obligations of outside third parties, including suppliers, to support our business and economic growth. Expiration dates vary through 2033, and guarantees will terminate on payment and/or cancellation of the obligation. A payment by us would be triggered by failure of the joint venture or other third party to fulfill its obligation covered by the guarantee. In some circumstances, we are entitled to recover from the third party amounts paid by us under the guarantee. However, our ability to enforce these rights is sometimes stayed until the guaranteed party is paid in full, and may be limited in the event of insolvency of the third party or other circumstances.

	In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnifications standard in the industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction, such as the sale of a business. These indemnifications might include and are not limited to claims relating to any of the following: environmental, tax, and shareholder matters; intellectual property rights; power generation contracts; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; dealer, supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters, such as securitizations. Performance under these indemnities generally would be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. While some of these indemnifications are limited in nature, many of them do not limit potential payment. Therefore, we are unable to estimate a maximum amount of future payments that could result from claims made under these unlimited indemnities.

	The maximum potential payments and the carrying value of recorded liabilities related to guarantees and limited indemnities were as follows (in millions):


		June 30,			December 31,

	Carrying value of recorded liabilities related to guarantees and limited indemnities	3			5


	Litigation and Claims

	Various legal actions, proceedings, and claims (generally, “matters”) are pending or may be instituted or asserted against us. These include but are not limited to matters arising out of alleged defects in our products; product warranties; governmental regulations relating to safety, emissions, and fuel economy or other matters; government incentives; tax matters; alleged illegal acts resulting in fines or penalties; financial services; employment-related matters; dealer, supplier, and other contractual relationships; intellectual property rights; environmental matters; shareholder or investor matters; and financial reporting matters. Certain of the pending legal actions are, or purport to be, class actions. Some of the matters involve or may involve claims for compensatory, punitive, or antitrust or other treble damages in very large amounts, or demands for field service actions, environmental remediation programs, sanctions, loss of government incentives, assessments, or other relief, which, if granted, would require very large expenditures.

	The extent of our financial exposure to these matters is difficult to estimate. Many matters do not specify a dollar amount for damages, and many others specify only a jurisdictional minimum. To the extent an amount is asserted, our historical experience suggests that in most instances the amount asserted is not a reliable indicator of the ultimate outcome.

	Litigation and claims are accrued when losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. In evaluating matters for accrual and disclosure purposes, we take into consideration factors such as our historical experience with matters of a similar nature, the specific facts and circumstances asserted, the likelihood that we will prevail, and the severity of any potential loss. We reevaluate and update our accruals as matters progress over time.

	NOTE 21. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES *(Continued)*

	For the majority of matters, which generally arise out of alleged defects in our products, we establish an accrual based on our extensive historical experience with similar matters, and we do not believe that there is a reasonably possible outcome materially in excess of our accrual.

	For the remaining matters, where our historical experience with similar matters is of more limited value (i.e., “non-pattern matters”), we evaluate matters primarily based on the individual facts and circumstances. For non-pattern matters, we evaluate whether there is a reasonable possibility of a material loss in excess of any accrual that can be estimated. Our estimate of reasonably possible loss in excess of our accruals for all material matters currently reflects indirect tax and customs matters, for which we estimate the aggregate risk to be a range of up to about $3.2 billion.

	As noted, the litigation process is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance. Our assessments are based on our knowledge and experience, but the ultimate outcome of any matter could require payment substantially in excess of the amount that we have accrued and/or disclosed.

	Warranty

	Estimated warranty costs are accrued for at the time the vehicle is sold to a dealer. Included in warranty cost accruals are the costs for basic warranty coverages and field service actions (i.e., safety recalls, emission recalls, and other product campaigns) on products sold. These costs are estimates based primarily on historical warranty claim experience. Warranty accruals accounted for in Other liabilities and deferred revenue for the periods ended June 30 were as follows (in millions):

Summary of Accounting Policies (Policies)	Jun. 30, 2014
Basis of Accounting and Intercompany Transactions [Abstract]	'
Basis of Accounting and Intercompany Transactions, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	We show certain of our financial statements on both a consolidated and a sector basis for our Automotive and Financial Services sectors. Intercompany items have been eliminated in both the consolidated and sector balance sheets. Where the presentation of these intercompany eliminations or consolidated adjustments differs between the consolidated and sector financial statements, reconciliations of certain line items are explained below in this Note or in related footnotes.
Reclassifications [Abstract]	'
Reclassifications, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
Reclassifications, Policy [Policy Text Block]	We reclassified certain prior year amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to current year presentation.
Finance Loans and Leases Receivable [Abstract]	'
Finance Loans and Leases Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	The accrual of revenue is discontinued at the earlier of the time a receivable is determined to be uncollectible, at bankruptcy status notification, or greater than 120 days past due. Accounts may be restored to accrual status only when a customer settles all past-due deficiency balances and future payments are reasonably assured. For receivables in non-accrual status, subsequent financing revenue is recognized only to the extent a payment is received. Payments are generally applied first to outstanding interest and then to the unpaid principal balance.
	A restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR if we grant a concession to a debtor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties that we otherwise would not consider. Consumer and non-consumer receivables that have a modified interest rate below market rate or that were modified in reorganization proceedings pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, except non-consumer receivables that are current with minimal risk of loss, are considered to be TDRs. We do not grant concessions on the principal balance of our receivables. If a receivable is modified in a reorganization proceeding, all payment requirements of the reorganization plan need to be met before remaining balances are forgiven.
	For all finance receivables, we define “past due” as any payment, including principal and interest, that is at least 31 days past the contractual due date.
Financing Receivable Impaired [Abstract]	'
Impaired Financing Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
Impaired Financing Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Impaired consumer receivables include accounts that have been rewritten or modified in reorganization proceedings pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that are considered to be troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), as well as all accounts greater than 120 days past due. Impaired non-consumer receivables represent accounts with dealers that have weak or poor financial metrics or dealer financing that has been modified in TDRs.
Inventories [Abstract]	'
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost for a substantial portion of U.S. inventories is determined on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. LIFO was used for 26% and 20% of total inventories at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Cost of other inventories is determined by costing methods that approximate a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis.
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract]	'
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting. Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and presented on a gross basis.

	We have elected to apply hedge accounting to certain derivatives. Derivatives that are designated in hedging relationships are evaluated for effectiveness using regression analysis at the time they are designated and throughout the hedge period.

	Some derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting; for others, we elect not to apply hedge accounting. Regardless, we only enter into transactions that we believe will be highly effective at offsetting the underlying economic risk.

	Cash Flow Hedges. Our Automotive sector has designated certain forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions with exposure to foreign currency exchange and commodity price risks.

	The effective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges is deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) and is recognized in Automotive cost of sales when the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion is reported in Automotive cost of sales in the period of measurement. Our policy is to de-designate foreign currency exchange cash flow hedges prior to the time forecasted transactions are recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and report subsequent changes in fair value through Automotive cost of sales. If it becomes probable that the originally-forecasted transaction will not occur, the related amount included in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) is reclassified and recognized in earnings. The majority of our cash flow hedges mature in two years or less.

	Fair Value Hedges. Our Financial Services sector uses derivatives to reduce the risk of changes in the fair value of debt. We have designated certain receive-fixed, pay-float interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of fixed-rate debt. The risk being hedged is the risk of changes in the fair value of the hedged debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. If the hedge relationship is deemed to be highly effective, we record the changes in the fair value of the hedged debt related to the risk being hedged in Financial Services debt with the offset in Financial Services other income/(loss), net. The change in fair value of the related derivative (excluding accrued interest) also is recorded in Financial Services other income/(loss), net. Net interest settlements and accruals on fair value hedges are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are reported in Interest expense. The cash flows associated with fair value hedges are reported in Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities on our statement of cash flows.

	Hedge ineffectiveness is the difference between the change in fair value of the derivative instrument and the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Ineffectiveness is recorded directly to income.

	When a fair value hedge is de-designated, or when the derivative is terminated before maturity, the fair value adjustment to the hedged debt continues to be reported as part of the carrying value of the debt and is amortized over its remaining life.


	NOTE 12. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

	Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments. Our Automotive sector reports changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments through Automotive cost of sales. Cash flows associated with non-designated or de-designated derivatives are reported in Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities on our statements of cash flows.

	Our Financial Services sector reports net interest settlements and accruals and changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps not designated as hedging instruments in Financial Services other income/(loss), net. Foreign currency revaluation on accrued interest along with gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts and cross currency interest rate swaps are reported in Financial Services other income/(loss), net. Cash flows associated with non-designated or de-designated derivatives are reported in Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities on our statements of cash flows.
Employee Separation Actions [Abstract]	'
Employee Separation Actions [Policy Text Block]	'
Employee Separation Actions [Policy Text Block]	We record costs associated with voluntary separations at the time of employee acceptance, unless the acceptance requires explicit approval by the Company. We record costs associated with involuntary separation programs when management has approved the plan for separation, the affected employees are identified, and it is unlikely that actions required to complete the separation plan will change significantly. When a plan of separation requires approval by or consultation with the relevant labor organization or government, the costs are recorded after the required approval or consultation process is complete. Costs associated with benefits that are contingent on the employee continuing to provide service are accrued over the required service period.
Income Taxes [Abstract]	'
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	For interim tax reporting we estimate one single effective tax rate for tax jurisdictions not subject to a valuation allowance, which is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income/(loss). Tax effects of significant unusual or extraordinary items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.
Amounts Per Share [Abstract]	'
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	We present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts in our financial reporting. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to Common and Class B Stock holders by the weighted-average number of Common and Class B Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the maximum potential dilution that could occur from our share-based compensation, including “in-the-money” stock options and unvested restricted stock units, and conversion into Ford Common Stock of our outstanding convertible notes. Potential dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation if they have an anti-dilutive effect in the period.
Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]	'
Commitments and Contingencies, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Guarantees and indemnifications are recorded at fair value at their inception.
	Litigation and claims are accrued when losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable
	Estimated warranty costs are accrued for at the time the vehicle is sold to a dealer. Included in warranty cost accruals are the costs for basic warranty coverages and field service actions (i.e., safety recalls, emission recalls, and other product campaigns) on products sold.
