Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
PRESENTATION	PRESENTATION 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. Our financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these unaudited financial statements reflect a fair statement of our results of operations and financial condition 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, 2016 (“ 2016 Form 10-K Report”). We reclassified certain prior year amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Adoption of New Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Stock Compensation - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . On January 1, 2017, we adopted the amendments to accounting standards codification (“ASC”) 718 which simplify accounting for share-based payment transactions. Prior to this amendment, excess tax benefits resulting from the difference between the deduction for tax purposes and the compensation costs recognized for financial reporting were not recognized until the deduction reduced taxes payable. Under the new method, we will recognize excess tax benefits in the current accounting period. In addition, prior to January 1, 2017, the employee share-based compensation expense was recorded net of estimated forfeiture rates and subsequently adjusted at the vesting date, as appropriate. As part of the amendment, we have elected to recognize the actual forfeitures by reducing the employee share-based compensation expense in the same period as the forfeitures occur. We have adopted these changes in accounting method using the modified retrospective method by recognizing one-time adjustments to retained earnings for excess tax benefits previously unrecognized and the change in accounting for forfeited awards. ASU 2014-09, Revenue - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On January 1, 2017, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) to all contracts using the modified retrospective method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. We expect the impact of the adoption of the new revenue standard to be immaterial to our net income on an ongoing basis. A majority of our sales revenue continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities. For certain vehicle sales where revenue was previously deferred, such as vehicles subject to a guaranteed resale value recognized as a lease and transactions in which a Ford-owned entity delivered vehicles, we now recognize revenue when vehicles are shipped in accordance with the new revenue standard. The new revenue standard also provided additional clarity that resulted in reclassifications to or from Revenue , Cost of sales , and Financial Services other income/(loss), net . NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued) The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated January 1, 2017 balance sheet for the adoption of ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting and ASU 2014-09, Revenue - Revenue from Contracts with Customers were as follows (in millions): Balance at December 31, 2016 Adjustments Due to Adjustments Due to ASU 2014-09 Balance at January 1, 2017 Balance Sheet Assets Trade and other receivables $ 11,102 $ — $ (17 ) $ 11,085 Inventories 8,898 — (9 ) 8,889 Other assets, current 3,368 — 307 3,675 Net investment in operating leases 28,829 — (1,078 ) 27,751 Deferred income taxes 9,705 536 (13 ) 10,228 Liabilities Payables 21,296 — 262 21,558 Other liabilities and deferred revenue, current 19,316 — (1,429 ) 17,887 Automotive debt payable within one year 2,685 — 326 3,011 Other liabilities and deferred revenue, non-current 24,395 — (5 ) 24,390 Equity Capital in excess of par value of stock 21,630 6 — 21,636 Retained earnings 15,634 530 36 16,200 As part of ASU 2016-09, we retrospectively reclassified cash paid to taxing authorities related to shares withheld for tax purposes from operating activities to financing activities on our consolidated statement of cash flows. Cash paid to taxing authorities related to shares withheld for tax purposes was about $57 million and $56 million for the first half of 2016 and 2017 , respectively. This standard did not have a material impact on our second quarter and first half 2017 consolidated income statement or June 30, 2017 consolidated balance sheet . NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued) In accordance with the new revenue standard requirements, the disclosure of the impact of adoption on our consolidated income statement and balance sheet for the periods ended June 30, 2017 was as follows (in millions): Second Quarter First Half As Reported Balances Without Adoption of ASC 606 Effect of Change As Reported Balances Without Adoption of ASC 606 Effect of Change Income statement Revenues Automotive $ 37,113 $ 36,898 $ 215 $ 73,588 $ 73,040 $ 548 Financial Services 2,738 2,641 97 5,407 5,221 186 Costs and expenses Cost of sales 33,349 33,184 165 66,057 65,630 427 Interest expense on Automotive debt 277 266 11 556 528 28 Non-Financial Services other income/(loss), net 658 679 (21 ) 1,370 1,411 (41 ) Financial Services other income/(loss), net 74 171 (97 ) 96 282 (186 ) Provision for/(Benefit from) income taxes 209 204 5 858 846 12 Net income 2,050 2,037 13 3,644 3,604 40 June 30, 2017 As Reported Balances Without Adoption of ASC 606 Effect of Change Balance Sheet Assets Trade and other receivables $ 10,159 $ 10,199 $ (40 ) Other assets, current 3,291 2,951 340 Net investment in operating leases 28,597 29,553 (956 ) Deferred income taxes 10,145 10,170 (25 ) Liabilities Payables 23,568 23,285 283 Other liabilities and deferred revenue, current 19,958 21,393 (1,435 ) Automotive debt payable within one year 2,911 2,511 400 Other liabilities and deferred revenue, non-current 24,840 24,845 (5 ) Deferred income taxes 735 735 — Equity Retained earnings 18,437 18,361 76 NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued) ASU 2017-07, Retirement Benefits - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost . On January 1, 2017, we adopted the amendments to ASC 715 that improve the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs. We retrospectively adopted the presentation of service cost separate from the other components of net periodic costs. The interest cost, expected return on assets, amortization of prior service costs, net remeasurement, and other costs have been reclassified from Cost of Sales and Selling, administrative, and other expenses to Non-Financial Services other income/(loss), net. We elected to apply the practical expedient which allows us to reclassify amounts disclosed previously in the retirement benefits note as the basis for applying retrospective presentation for comparative periods as it is impracticable to determine the disaggregation of the cost components for amounts capitalized and amortized in those periods. On a prospective basis, the other components of net periodic benefit costs will not be included in amounts capitalized in inventory or property, plant, and equipment. The effect of the retrospective presentation change related to the net periodic cost of our defined benefit pension and other postretirement employee benefits (“OPEB”) plans on our consolidated income statement for the periods ended June 30, 2016 was as follows (in millions): Second Quarter First Half As Revised Previously Reported Effect of Change As Revised Previously Reported Effect of Change Income statement Cost of sales $ 32,522 $ 32,348 $ 174 $ 63,039 $ 62,629 $ 410 Selling, administrative, and other expenses 2,784 2,661 123 5,474 5,223 251 Non-Financial Services other income/(loss), net 686 389 297 1,454 793 661 We also adopted the following standards during 2017 , none of which had a material impact to our financial statements or financial statement disclosures: Standard Effective Date 2017-05 Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets - Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance January 1, 2017 2017-04 Goodwill and Other - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment January 1, 2017 2017-03 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections and Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures January 1, 2017 2017-01 Business Combinations - Clarifying the Definition of a Business January 1, 2017 2016-17 Consolidation - Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control January 1, 2017 2016-07 Equity Method and Joint Ventures - Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting January 1, 2017 2016-06 Derivatives and Hedging - Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments January 1, 2017 2016-05 Derivatives and Hedging - Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships January 1, 2017 2016-04 Extinguishments of Liabilities - Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products January 1, 2017 2017-09 Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting April 1, 2017 Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted The following represent the standards that will, or are expected to, result in a significant change in practice and/or have a significant financial impact to Ford. ASU 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard which replaces the current incurred loss impairment method with a method that reflects expected credit losses. The new standard is effective as of January 1, 2020, and early adoption is permitted as of January 1, 2019. We will adopt the new credit loss guidance by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. We are assessing the potential impact to our financial statements and disclosures. NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued) ASU 2016-02, Leases . In February 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases. The new standard supersedes the present U.S. GAAP standard on leases and requires substantially all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations. We plan to adopt the new standard at its effective date of January 1, 2019. We anticipate adoption of the standard will add between $1.5 billion and $2 billion in right-of-use assets and lease obligations to our balance sheet and will not significantly impact pre-tax profit. We are in the early stages of implementation.

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the transfer of control of our vehicles, parts, accessories, or services. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The expected costs associated with our base warranties and field service actions continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold (see Note 16 ). We recognize revenue for vehicle service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance beyond our base warranties over the life of the contract. NOTE 3. REVENUE (Continued) Automotive Segment Vehicles, Parts, and Accessories. For the majority of vehicles, parts, and accessories, we transfer control and recognize a sale when we ship the product from our manufacturing facility to our customer (dealers and distributors). The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies with changes in marketing incentives and returns we offer to our customers and their customers. When we give our dealers the right to return eligible parts and accessories, we estimate the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. We adjust our estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration we expect to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. As a result we recognized a decrease to revenue from prior periods in the second quarter of 2017 of $259 million . Depending on the terms of the arrangement, we may also defer the recognition of a portion of the consideration received because we have to satisfy a future obligation (e.g., free extended service contracts). We use an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations or a cost plus margin approach when one is not available. We have elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping when control over vehicles, parts, or accessories have transferred to the customer as an expense in Cost of sales . We sell vehicles to daily rental companies and guarantee that we will pay them the difference between an agreed amount and the value they are able to realize upon resale. At the time of transfer of vehicles to the daily rental companies, we record the probable amount we will pay under the guarantee to Other liabilities and deferred revenue. Sale of Used Vehicles. We sell used vehicles both at auction and through our consolidated dealerships. Proceeds from the sale of these vehicles are recognized in Automotive revenues upon transfer of control of the vehicle to the customer and the related vehicle carrying value is recognized in Cost of sales . Extended Service Contracts. We sell separately-priced service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance coverages beyond our base warranty agreements to vehicle owners. The separately priced service contracts range from 12 months to 120 months . We receive payment at the inception of the contract and recognize revenue over the term of the agreement in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract. At January 1, 2017, $3.5 billion of unearned revenue associated with outstanding contracts was reported in Other Liabilities and deferred revenue, $271 million and $541 million of this was recognized as revenue during the second quarter and first half of 2017 , respectively. At June 30, 2017 , the unearned amount was $3.7 billion . We expect to recognize approximately $550 million of the unearned amount in 2017, $950 million in 2018, and $2.2 billion thereafter. We record a premium deficiency reserve to the extent we estimate the future costs associated with these contracts exceed the unrecognized revenue. Amounts paid to dealers to obtain these contracts are deferred and recorded as Other assets . These costs are amortized to expense consistent with how the related revenue is recognized. We had a balance of $239 million in deferred costs as of June 30, 2017 and recognized $14 million and $29 million of amortization during the second quarter and first half of 2017 , respectively. Other Revenue. Other revenue consists primarily of net commissions received for serving as the agent in facilitating the sale of a third party’s products or services to our customers and payments for vehicle - related design and testing services we perform for others. We have applied the practical expedient to recognize Automotive revenues for vehicle-related design and testing services over the two to three year term of these agreements in proportion to the amount we have the right to invoice. Leasing Income. We sell vehicles to daily rental companies with an obligation to repurchase the vehicles for a guaranteed amount, exercisable at the option of the customer. The transactions are accounted for as operating leases. Upon the transfer of vehicles to the daily rental companies, we record proceeds received in Other liabilities and deferred revenue. The difference between the proceeds received and the guaranteed repurchase amount is recorded in Automotive revenues over the term of the lease using a straight-line method. The cost of the vehicle is recorded in Net investment in operating leases on our consolidated balance sheet and the difference between the cost of the vehicle and the estimated auction value is depreciated in Cost of sales over the term of the lease. NOTE 3. REVENUE (Continued) Financial Services Segment Leasing Income. Ford Credit offers leasing plans to retail consumers through Ford and Lincoln brand dealers who originate the leases. Upon the purchase of a lease from the dealer, Ford Credit takes ownership of the vehicle and records an operating lease. The retail consumer makes lease payments representing the difference between Ford Credit’s purchase price of the vehicle and the contractual residual value of the vehicle, plus lease fees that we recognize on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement. Depreciation and the gain or loss upon disposition of the vehicle is recorded in Financial Services interest, operating, and other expenses . Financing Income. Ford Credit originates and purchases finance installment contracts. Financing income represents interest earned on the finance receivables (including direct financing leases). Interest is recognized using the interest method, and includes the amortization of certain direct origination costs. Insurance Income. Income from insurance contracts is recognized evenly over the term of the agreement. Insurance commission revenue is recognized on a net basis at the time of sale of the third party’s product or service to our customer.

INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES 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 infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur. For the second quarter of 2016 and 2017 , our effective tax rates were 31.4% and 9.3% , respectively. During the second quarter of 2017 , we recognized a $421 million benefit for foreign tax credits expected to be realized in the foreseeable future. The tax benefit relates to investments in certain non-U.S. subsidiaries previously determined to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the United States. Our change in assertion for these investments is related to planned distributions in anticipation of potential U.S. corporate tax reform.

The fair value of finance receivables is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Excluded from finance receivables at both December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017 , was $223 million of accrued uncollected interest, which is reported as Other assets in the current assets section of our consolidated balance sheet. Included in the recorded investment in finance receivables at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017 were consumer receivables of $32.5 billion and $33.1 billion , respectively, and non-consumer receivables of $26 billion and $26.1 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. NOTE 8. FINANCIAL SERVICES 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 $21 million and $23 million at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017 , respectively. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest was de minimis at December 31, 2016 and $1 million at June 30, 2017 . The aging analysis of our finance receivables balances were as follows (in millions): December 31, June 30, Consumer 31-60 days past due $ 760 $ 643 61-90 days past due 114 106 91-120 days past due 34 36 Greater than 120 days past due 39 36 Total past due 947 821 Current 64,391 67,332 Consumer finance receivables 65,338 68,153 Non-Consumer Total past due 107 133 Current 31,229 33,675 Non-Consumer finance receivables 31,336 33,808 Total recorded investment $ 96,674 $ 101,961 Credit Quality Consumer Portfolio. 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 less costs to sell Non-Consumer Portfolio. 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 NOTE 8. FINANCIAL SERVICES FINANCE RECEIVABLES (Continued) The credit quality analysis of our dealer financing receivables was as follows (in millions): December 31, June 30, Dealer Financing Group I $ 24,315 $ 26,688 Group II 5,552 5,589 Group III 1,376 1,364 Group IV 93 167 Total recorded investment $ 31,336 $ 33,808 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 December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017 was $367 million , or 0.6% of consumer receivables, and $381 million , or 0.6% of consumer receivables, respectively. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables that were impaired at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017 was $107 million , or 0.3% of non-consumer receivables, and $181 million , or 0.5% of non-consumer receivables, respectively. Impaired finance receivables are evaluated both collectively and specifically.

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 highly effective derivative 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. Income Effect of Derivative Financial Instruments The gains/(losses), by hedge designation, recorded in income for the periods ended June 30 were as follows (in millions): Second Quarter First Half 2016 2017 2016 2017 Cash flow hedges (a) Reclassified from AOCI to net income $ 46 $ 124 $ 133 $ 242 Fair value hedges Interest rate contracts Net interest settlements and accruals excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness 98 62 197 132 Ineffectiveness (b) 5 4 22 — Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Foreign currency exchange contracts 171 (218 ) 32 (426 ) Cross-currency interest rate swap contracts 140 16 335 74 Interest rate contracts (43 ) 30 (91 ) 37 Commodity contracts 9 (10 ) 4 32 Total $ 426 $ 8 $ 632 $ 91 __________ (a) For the second quarter and first half of 2016 , a $184 million gain and a $547 million gain , respectively, were recorded in Other comprehensive income. For the second quarter and first half of 2017 , a $318 million gain and a $206 million gain , respectively, were recorded in Other comprehensive income. (b) For the second quarter and first half of 2016 , hedge ineffectiveness reflects the net change in fair value on derivatives of $273 million gain and $883 million gain , respectively, and a change in value on hedged debt attributable to the change in benchmark interest rates of $268 million loss and $861 million loss , respectively. For the second quarter and first half of 2017 , hedge ineffectiveness reflects the net change in fair value on derivatives of $34 million gain and $55 million loss , respectively, and a change in value on hedged debt attributable to the change in benchmark interest rates of $30 million loss and $55 million gain , respectively. NOTE 14. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Continued) Balance Sheet Effect of Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative assets and liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and are presented on a gross basis. The notional amounts of the derivative instruments do not necessarily represent amounts exchanged by the parties and are not a direct measure of our financial exposure. We also enter into master agreements with counterparties that may allow for netting of exposures in the event of default or breach of the counterparty agreement. Collateral represents cash received or paid under reciprocal arrangements that we have entered into with our derivative counterparties which we do not use to offset our derivative assets and liabilities.

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 The maximum potential payments and the carrying value of recorded liabilities related to guarantees and limited indemnities were as follows (in millions): December 31, June 30, Maximum potential payments $ 177 $ 1,613 Carrying value of recorded liabilities related to guarantees and limited indemnities 23 481 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 the resale value of vehicles sold in certain arrangements to daily rental companies. The maximum potential payment of $1.5 billion as of June 30, 2017 included in the table above represents the total proceeds we guarantee the rental company will receive on re-sale. Reflecting our present estimate of proceeds the rental companies will receive on resale from third parties, we have recorded $459 million as our best estimate of the amount we will have to pay under the guarantee. See Note 2 for additional information on the adoption of the new revenue standard. We also 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. 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. NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) 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. 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 a bout $2.8 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 using a patterned estimation model that includes historical information regarding the nature, frequency, and average cost of claims for each vehicle line by model year. Warranty and field service action obligations are reported in Other liabilities and deferred revenue . We reevaluate the adequacy of our accruals on a regular basis. We recognize the benefit from a recovery of the costs associated with our warranty and field service actions when specifics of the recovery have been agreed with our supplier and the amount of the recovery is virtually certain. Recoveries are reported in Trade and other receivables and Other assets. The estimate of our future warranty and field service action costs, net of supplier recoveries, for the periods ended June 30 were as follows (in millions): First Half 2016 2017 Beginning balance $ 4,558 $ 4,960 Payments made during the period (1,593 ) (1,710 ) Changes in accrual related to warranties issued during the period 1,179 1,272 Changes in accrual related to pre-existing warranties 279 582 Foreign currency translation and other 45 71 Ending balance $ 4,468 $ 5,175 Revisions to our estimated costs are reported as changes in accrual related to pre-existing warranties in the table above.

Automotive Segment Our Automotive segment primarily includes the sale of Ford and Lincoln brand vehicles, service parts, and accessories worldwide, together with the associated costs to develop, manufacture, distribute, and service the vehicles, parts, and accessories. The segment includes five regional business units: North America, South America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia Pacific. Financial Services Segment The Financial Services segment primarily includes our vehicle-related financing and leasing activities at Ford Credit. All Other All Other is a combination of two operating segments that did not meet the quantitative thresholds in this reporting period to qualify as reportable segments. All Other consists of our Central Treasury Operations and Ford Smart Mobility LLC. The Central Treasury Operations segment is primarily engaged in decision making for investments, risk management activities, and providing financing for the Automotive segment. Interest income (excluding interest earned on our extended service contract portfolio that is included in our Automotive segment), interest expense, gains and losses on cash equivalents and marketable securities, and foreign exchange derivatives associated with intercompany lending, are included in the results of Central Treasury Operations. The underlying assets and liabilities, primarily cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, debt, and derivatives, remain with the Automotive segment. Ford Smart Mobility LLC is a subsidiary formed to design, build, grow, and invest in emerging mobility services. Designed to compete like a start-up company, Ford Smart Mobility LLC designs and builds mobility services on its own, and collaborates with start-ups and tech companies. Special Items Our results include Special items that consist of (i) pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses, (ii) significant personnel and dealer-related costs stemming from our efforts to match production capacity and cost structure to market demand and changing model mix, and (iii) certain infrequent significant items that we generally do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating activities. Our management excludes these items from its review of the results of the operating segments for purposes of measuring segment profitability and allocating resources. Special items are presented as a separate reconciling item. NOTE 17.

Reclassifications, Policy [Policy Text Block]	We reclassified certain prior year amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the transfer of control of our vehicles, parts, accessories, or services. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The expected costs associated with our base warranties and field service actions continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold (see Note 16 ). We recognize revenue for vehicle service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance beyond our base warranties over the life of the contract. NOTE 3. REVENUE (Continued) Automotive Segment Vehicles, Parts, and Accessories. For the majority of vehicles, parts, and accessories, we transfer control and recognize a sale when we ship the product from our manufacturing facility to our customer (dealers and distributors). The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies with changes in marketing incentives and returns we offer to our customers and their customers. When we give our dealers the right to return eligible parts and accessories, we estimate the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. We adjust our estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration we expect to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. As a result we recognized a decrease to revenue from prior periods in the second quarter of 2017 of $259 million . Depending on the terms of the arrangement, we may also defer the recognition of a portion of the consideration received because we have to satisfy a future obligation (e.g., free extended service contracts). We use an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations or a cost plus margin approach when one is not available. We have elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping when control over vehicles, parts, or accessories have transferred to the customer as an expense in Cost of sales . We sell vehicles to daily rental companies and guarantee that we will pay them the difference between an agreed amount and the value they are able to realize upon resale. At the time of transfer of vehicles to the daily rental companies, we record the probable amount we will pay under the guarantee to Other liabilities and deferred revenue. Sale of Used Vehicles. We sell used vehicles both at auction and through our consolidated dealerships. Proceeds from the sale of these vehicles are recognized in Automotive revenues upon transfer of control of the vehicle to the customer and the related vehicle carrying value is recognized in Cost of sales . Extended Service Contracts. We sell separately-priced service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance coverages beyond our base warranty agreements to vehicle owners. The separately priced service contracts range from 12 months to 120 months . We receive payment at the inception of the contract and recognize revenue over the term of the agreement in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract. At January 1, 2017, $3.5 billion of unearned revenue associated with outstanding contracts was reported in Other Liabilities and deferred revenue, $271 million and $541 million of this was recognized as revenue during the second quarter and first half of 2017 , respectively. At June 30, 2017 , the unearned amount was $3.7 billion . We expect to recognize approximately $550 million of the unearned amount in 2017, $950 million in 2018, and $2.2 billion thereafter. We record a premium deficiency reserve to the extent we estimate the future costs associated with these contracts exceed the unrecognized revenue. Amounts paid to dealers to obtain these contracts are deferred and recorded as Other assets . These costs are amortized to expense consistent with how the related revenue is recognized. We had a balance of $239 million in deferred costs as of June 30, 2017 and recognized $14 million and $29 million of amortization during the second quarter and first half of 2017 , respectively. Other Revenue. Other revenue consists primarily of net commissions received for serving as the agent in facilitating the sale of a third party’s products or services to our customers and payments for vehicle - related design and testing services we perform for others. We have applied the practical expedient to recognize Automotive revenues for vehicle-related design and testing services over the two to three year term of these agreements in proportion to the amount we have the right to invoice. Leasing Income. We sell vehicles to daily rental companies with an obligation to repurchase the vehicles for a guaranteed amount, exercisable at the option of the customer. The transactions are accounted for as operating leases. Upon the transfer of vehicles to the daily rental companies, we record proceeds received in Other liabilities and deferred revenue. The difference between the proceeds received and the guaranteed repurchase amount is recorded in Automotive revenues over the term of the lease using a straight-line method. The cost of the vehicle is recorded in Net investment in operating leases on our consolidated balance sheet and the difference between the cost of the vehicle and the estimated auction value is depreciated in Cost of sales over the term of the lease. NOTE 3. REVENUE (Continued) Financial Services Segment Leasing Income. Ford Credit offers leasing plans to retail consumers through Ford and Lincoln brand dealers who originate the leases. Upon the purchase of a lease from the dealer, Ford Credit takes ownership of the vehicle and records an operating lease. The retail consumer makes lease payments representing the difference between Ford Credit’s purchase price of the vehicle and the contractual residual value of the vehicle, plus lease fees that we recognize on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement. Depreciation and the gain or loss upon disposition of the vehicle is recorded in Financial Services interest, operating, and other expenses . Financing Income. Ford Credit originates and purchases finance installment contracts. Financing income represents interest earned on the finance receivables (including direct financing leases). Interest is recognized using the interest method, and includes the amortization of certain direct origination costs. Insurance Income. Income from insurance contracts is recognized evenly over the term of the agreement. Insurance commission revenue is recognized on a net basis at the time of sale of the third party’s product or service to our customer.

We had a balance of $239 million in deferred costs as of June 30, 2017 and recognized $14 million and $29 million of amortization during the second quarter and first half of 2017 , respectively. Other Revenue. Other revenue consists primarily of net commissions received for serving as the agent in facilitating the sale of a third party’s products or services to our customers and payments for vehicle - related design and testing services we perform for others. We have applied the practical expedient to recognize Automotive revenues for vehicle-related design and testing services over the two to three year term of these agreements in proportion to the amount we have the right to invoice.
Revenue Recognition Leases, Operating [Policy Text Block]	Leasing Income. We sell vehicles to daily rental companies with an obligation to repurchase the vehicles for a guaranteed amount, exercisable at the option of the customer. The transactions are accounted for as operating leases. Upon the transfer of vehicles to the daily rental companies, we record proceeds received in Other liabilities and deferred revenue. The difference between the proceeds received and the guaranteed repurchase amount is recorded in Automotive revenues over the term of the lease using a straight-line method. The cost of the vehicle is recorded in Net investment in operating leases on our consolidated balance sheet and the difference between the cost of the vehicle and the estimated auction value is depreciated in Cost of sales over the term of the lease.
Revenue Recognition, Premiums Earned, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Insurance Income. Income from insurance contracts is recognized evenly over the term of the agreement. Insurance commission revenue is recognized on a net basis at the time of sale of the third party’s product or service to our customer.
Income Tax Disclosure [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 infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.
Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]
Marketable Securities, Available-for-sale Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	We determine other-than-temporary impairments on cash equivalents and marketable securities using a specific identification method.
Receivables [Abstract]
Finance Loans and Leases Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Leasing Income. Ford Credit offers leasing plans to retail consumers through Ford and Lincoln brand dealers who originate the leases. Upon the purchase of a lease from the dealer, Ford Credit takes ownership of the vehicle and records an operating lease. The retail consumer makes lease payments representing the difference between Ford Credit’s purchase price of the vehicle and the contractual residual value of the vehicle, plus lease fees that we recognize on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement. Depreciation and the gain or loss upon disposition of the vehicle is recorded in Financial Services interest, operating, and other expenses . Financing Income. Ford Credit originates and purchases finance installment contracts. Financing income represents interest earned on the finance receivables (including direct financing leases). Interest is recognized using the interest method, and includes the amortization of certain direct origination costs. 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. 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.
Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	All inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost for a substantial portion of U.S. inventories is determined on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. LIFO was used for 30% and 34% of total inventories at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017 , respectively. Cost of other inventories is determined by costing methods that approximate a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Derivative assets and liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and are presented on a gross basis. The notional amounts of the derivative instruments do not necessarily represent amounts exchanged by the parties and are not a direct measure of our financial exposure. We also enter into master agreements with counterparties that may allow for netting of exposures in the event of default or breach of the counterparty agreement. Collateral represents cash received or paid under reciprocal arrangements that we have entered into with our derivative counterparties which we do not use to offset our derivative assets and liabilities. 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 derivative 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.
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranties Policies [Policy Text Block]	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 using a patterned estimation model that includes historical information regarding the nature, frequency, and average cost of claims for each vehicle line by model year. Warranty and field service action obligations are reported in Other liabilities and deferred revenue . We reevaluate the adequacy of our accruals on a regular basis. We recognize the benefit from a recovery of the costs associated with our warranty and field service actions when specifics of the recovery have been agreed with our supplier and the amount of the recovery is virtually certain. Recoveries are reported in Trade and other receivables and Other assets. 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 the resale value of vehicles sold in certain arrangements to daily rental companies. The maximum potential payment of $1.5 billion as of June 30, 2017 included in the table above represents the total proceeds we guarantee the rental company will receive on re-sale. Reflecting our present estimate of proceeds the rental companies will receive on resale from third parties, we have recorded $459 million as our best estimate of the amount we will have to pay under the guarantee. See Note 2 for additional information on the adoption of the new revenue standard. We also 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.
Commitments and Contingencies, Policy [Policy Text Block]	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. 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. NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) 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. 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.
Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Below is a description of our reportable segments and the business activities included in All Other. Automotive Segment Our Automotive segment primarily includes the sale of Ford and Lincoln brand vehicles, service parts, and accessories worldwide, together with the associated costs to develop, manufacture, distribute, and service the vehicles, parts, and accessories. The segment includes five regional business units: North America, South America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia Pacific. Financial Services Segment The Financial Services segment primarily includes our vehicle-related financing and leasing activities at Ford Credit. All Other All Other is a combination of two operating segments that did not meet the quantitative thresholds in this reporting period to qualify as reportable segments. All Other consists of our Central Treasury Operations and Ford Smart Mobility LLC. The Central Treasury Operations segment is primarily engaged in decision making for investments, risk management activities, and providing financing for the Automotive segment. Interest income (excluding interest earned on our extended service contract portfolio that is included in our Automotive segment), interest expense, gains and losses on cash equivalents and marketable securities, and foreign exchange derivatives associated with intercompany lending, are included in the results of Central Treasury Operations. The underlying assets and liabilities, primarily cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, debt, and derivatives, remain with the Automotive segment. Ford Smart Mobility LLC is a subsidiary formed to design, build, grow, and invest in emerging mobility services. Designed to compete like a start-up company, Ford Smart Mobility LLC designs and builds mobility services on its own, and collaborates with start-ups and tech companies. Special Items Our results include Special items that consist of (i) pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses, (ii) significant personnel and dealer-related costs stemming from our efforts to match production capacity and cost structure to market demand and changing model mix, and (iii) certain infrequent significant items that we generally do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating activities. Our management excludes these items from its review of the results of the operating segments for purposes of measuring segment profitability and allocating resources. Special items are presented as a separate reconciling item.
