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 the related financial statements and 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, 2014 (“2014 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. | ||||||||
Adoption of New Accounting Standards | ||||||||
Transfers and Servicing - Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings and Disclosures. On January 1, 2015, we adopted the 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 adoption of this accounting standard did not impact our financial statements or financial statement disclosures. | ||||||||
Reconciliations between Consolidated and Sector Financial Statements | ||||||||
Sector to Consolidated Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities. The difference between the total assets and total liabilities as presented on our sector balance sheet and consolidated balance sheet is the result of netting deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The reconciliation between the totals for the sector and consolidated balance sheets was as follows (in millions): | ||||||||

Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted [Abstract] | |
Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block] | ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED |
Internal-Use Software - Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard that provides guidance regarding whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, which would impact the accounting for such an arrangement. The new accounting standard is effective as of January 1, 2016 and we are assessing the potential impact to our financial statements and financial statement disclosures. | |
Imputation of Interest - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. In April 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. The new accounting standard is effective as of January 1, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the potential impact to our financial statements and financial statement disclosures. | |
Consolidation - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. In February 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that makes targeted amendments to the present guidance. One of the amendments in the new standard affects the consolidation analysis performed by reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have decision maker or service provider fee arrangements and related-party relationships. The new accounting standard is effective as of January 1, 2016 and we are assessing the potential impact to our financial statements and financial statement disclosures. | |
Extraordinary and Unusual Items - Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. In January 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that eliminates the concept of extraordinary items and their segregation from the results of ordinary operations and expands presentation and disclosure guidance to include items that are both unusual in nature and occur infrequently. The new accounting standard is effective as of January 1, 2016 and we are assessing the potential impact to our financial statements and financial statement disclosures. | |
Derivatives and Hedging - Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. In November 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that requires an entity to determine the nature of the host contract by considering all stated and implied substantive terms and features of the hybrid financial instrument issued in the form of a share, including any embedded derivative features being evaluated for bifurcation. The new accounting standard is effective as of January 1, 2016 and we are assessing the potential impact to our financial statements and financial statement disclosures. | |
Going Concern - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. In August 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that requires management to assess if there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim period. If conditions or events give rise to substantial doubt, disclosures are required. The new accounting standard is effective as of December 31, 2016 and we do not expect it to have an impact on our financial statement disclosures. | |
Consolidation - Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity. In August 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that provides an entity the option to elect to measure the financial assets and financial liabilities of a consolidated collateralized financing entity (“CFE”) at a value that is reflective of its economic interest in the CFE. The new accounting standard is effective as of January 1, 2016 and we do not expect it to have an impact on our financial statements or financial statement disclosures. | |
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 financial statements or financial statement disclosures. | |
Revenue - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, the 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 and requires the use of more estimates and judgments than the present standards as well as additional disclosures. The new accounting standard is effective as of January 1, 2017 and we are assessing the potential impact to our financial statements and financial statement disclosures. |

Receivables [Abstract] | ||||||||
FINANCE RECEIVABLES | FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR FINANCE RECEIVABLES | |||||||
Finance receivables, primarily Ford Credit, 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. | ||||||||
Our Financial Services sector segments our finance receivables into “consumer” and “non-consumer” portfolios. The receivables are generally secured by the vehicles, inventory, or other property being financed. | ||||||||
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 our dealer financing | |||||||
• | Other financing – primarily related to the sale of parts and accessories to dealers | |||||||

__________ | ||||||||
(a) | At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Finance receivables, net on the consolidated balance sheet were $79.2 billion and $81.1 billion, respectively. The balance is comprised of Financial Services sector finance receivables of $85.7 billion and $86.1 billion, respectively, net of $6.5 billion and $5 billion, respectively, of receivables purchased by Financial Services sector from Automotive sector, which are reclassified to Other receivables, net. | |||||||
(b) | At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, was $179 million and $191 million, respectively, of accrued uncollected interest, which we report in Other assets on the balance sheet. | ||||||||
NOTE 4. FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR FINANCE RECEIVABLES (Continued) | ||||||||
Included in the recorded investment in finance receivables at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were consumer receivables of $25.9 billion and $24.4 billion and non-consumer receivables of $21.3 billion and $21.8 billion, respectively, that have been sold for legal purposes in securitization transactions but continue to be reported in our consolidated financial statements. 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 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 Note 11). | ||||||||
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 $11 million and $17 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest was de minimis and $3 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. | ||||||||
The aging analysis of our finance receivables balances were as follows (in millions): | ||||||||

Total recorded investment | $ | 86,013 | $ | 86,462 | ||||
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. | ||||||||
NOTE 4. FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR FINANCE RECEIVABLES (Continued) | ||||||||
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 | |||||||
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. | ||||||||
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 generally 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): | ||||||||
March 31, | December 31, | |||||||
2015 | 2014 | |||||||

Total recorded investment | $ | 31,421 | $ | 31,340 | ||||
NOTE 4. FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR FINANCE RECEIVABLES (Continued) | ||||||||
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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $396 million, or 0.7% of consumer receivables, and $415 million, or 0.8% of consumer receivables, respectively. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables that were impaired at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $126 million, or 0.4% of non-consumer receivables, and $105 million, or 0.3% of 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. | ||||||||
The accrual of revenue is discontinued at the time a receivable is determined to be uncollectible. 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. Finance receivables involved in TDRs are specifically assessed for impairment. |

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES | VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES |
VIEs of Which We are Not the Primary Beneficiary | |
Certain of our joint ventures are VIEs, in which the power to direct economically significant activities is shared with the joint venture partner. Our investments in these 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, including loans, and was $252 million and $307 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. | |
VIEs of Which We are the Primary Beneficiary | |
Securitization Entities 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 (“SPE’s”). 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 SPEs 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 transactions are consolidated in our financial results and are included in amounts presented on the face of our consolidated balance sheet (see Note 4 for additional information). |

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 highly effective derivatives contracts. 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Employee Separation Actions and Exit and Disposal Activities [Text Block] | 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. | ||||||||

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 closed 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. | ||||||||

In May 2013, we committed to commence a transformation plan for our Australia operations. As part of this plan, we will be closing manufacturing operations in Australia in October 2016. In August 2013, a two-phase separation plan was approved, which included a line-speed reduction in June 2014, ahead of the final closure. The costs related to the line- speed reduction were recorded throughout 2014. The costs related to the second phase of the transformation plan were recorded beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014 after the Enterprise bargaining agreement was agreed and ratified by the local government and we determined these payments were probable. | ||||||||
Separation-related costs recorded in Automotive cost of sales and Selling, administrative and other expenses, include both the costs associated with voluntary separation programs, and involuntary employee actions in Australia.

Ford Sollers. We formed the Ford Sollers joint venture with Sollers OJSC (“Sollers”) in October 2011 to operate in Russia. Upon contribution of our then wholly-owned operations in Russia to the joint venture in exchange for cash, notes receivable and a 50% equity interest in the new joint venture, we deconsolidated the related assets and liabilities and recorded an equity method investment in Ford Sollers at its fair value. The fair value was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis with our best assumptions of relevant factors at that time. | |
During the second quarter of 2014, we recorded a $329 million pre-tax impairment as a result of factors in the Russian market, including a weaker ruble, lower industry volume, and industry segmentation changes that negatively impacted the sales of Focus. These factors reduced our expected cash flows for Ford Sollers in the near-term, thereby reducing the investment’s fair value recoverability. The non-cash charge was reported in Equity in net income of affiliated companies. | |
On March 31, 2015, we and Sollers agreed to certain changes to the structure of the joint venture and the related shareholders’ agreement to support the business in the near-term and provide a platform for future growth in this important market. The changes include Ford providing additional funding to the joint venture and gaining a controlling interest in the joint venture through the acquisition of preferred shares. As a result, effective March 31, 2015, we have consolidated the joint venture for financial reporting purposes. In addition, the partners will have future rights to purchase, or have purchased, Sollers’ 50% interest in the ordinary shares of the joint venture at a value established using a pre-determined framework. Both partners will continue to work jointly to improve the business outlook for the Ford Sollers joint venture by expanding its vehicle lineup to better meet the needs of Russian customers and further investing in the localization of component manufacturing. Due to the timing of the transaction, we provisionally have measured the fair value and recognized $977 million in assets (primarily inventory and fixed assets) and $888 million in liabilities (primarily payables and debt) on our balance sheet. In addition, we recorded $89 million in a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the mezzanine section of our balance sheet, reflecting the redemption features embedded in the 50% equity interest in the joint venture that is held by Sollers. During the second quarter of 2015, we will finalize purchase accounting, using generally acceptable valuation techniques that incorporate Ford Sollers’ present business plan, adjusted for market participant assumptions. |

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 (“RSUs”). Potential dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation if they have an anti-dilutive effect in the period. | ||||||||

Effective January 1, 2015, we have realigned the business operations of this segment to our Automotive sector on a prospective basis. The impact of this change on prior periods presented would have been immaterial. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | ||||||||
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | |||||||
Commitments and contingencies primarily consist 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 guarantee or indemnity, 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 underlying 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 a 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): | ||||||||

2015 | 2014 | |||||||
Maximum potential payments | $ | 595 | $ | 592 | ||||
Carrying value of recorded liabilities related to guarantees and limited indemnities | 17 | 17 | ||||||
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. | ||||||||
We accrue for matters 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 20. 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. We do not believe there is a reasonably possible outcome materially in excess of our accrual for these matters. | ||||||||
For the remaining matters, where our historical experience with similar matters is of more limited value (i.e., “non‑pattern matters”), we evaluate the 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 $2.5 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 and Field Service Actions | ||||||||
We accrue obligations for warranty costs and field service actions (i.e., safety recalls, emission recalls, and other product campaigns) at the time of sale. We establish estimates for warranty and field service action obligations using a patterned estimation model using historical information regarding the nature, frequency, and average cost of claims for each vehicle line by model year. We reevaluate the adequacy of our accruals on a regular basis and any revisions to our estimated obligation for warranties and field service actions are reported as Changes in accrual related to pre-existing warranties in the table below. | ||||||||

Summary_of_Accounting_Policies
Summary of Accounting Policies (Policies) | 3 Months Ended |
Mar. 31, 2015 | |
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 the related financial statements and footnotes. |
Reclassifications [Abstract] | |
Reclassifications, Policy [Policy Text Block] | We reclassified certain prior year amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to current year presentation. |
Financing Receivable Impaired [Abstract] | |
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. |
Finance Loans and Leases Receivable [Abstract] | |
Finance Loans and Leases Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block] | 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. Finance receivables involved in TDRs are specifically assessed for impairment. |
The accrual of revenue is discontinued at the time a receivable is determined to be uncollectible. 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. | |
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. | |
Inventories footnote [Abstract] | |
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 34% and 28% of total inventories at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Cost of other inventories is determined by costing methods that approximate a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. |
Employee Separation Actions [Abstract] | |
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] | 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. |
Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
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 (“RSUs”). 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. |
We accrue obligations for warranty costs and field service actions (i.e., safety recalls, emission recalls, and other product campaigns) at the time of sale. We establish estimates for warranty and field service action obligations using a patterned estimation model using historical information regarding the nature, frequency, and average cost of claims for each vehicle line by model year. We reevaluate the adequacy of our accruals on a regular basis and any revisions to our estimated obligation for warranties and field service actions are reported as Changes in accrual related to pre-existing warranties in the table below. | |
We accrue for matters when losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable |
