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. We also make reference to Ford Motor Credit Company LLC, herein referenced to as Ford Credit. 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, 2018 (“2018 Form 10-K Report”). We reclassified certain prior year amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. Change in Accounting As of January 1, 2019, we changed our accounting method for reporting early termination losses related to customer defaults on Ford Credit’s operating leases. Previously, we presented the early termination loss reserve on operating leases due to customer default events as part of the allowance for credit losses within Net investment in operating leases . We now consider the effects of operating lease early terminations when determining depreciation estimates, which are included as part of accumulated depreciation within Net investment in operating leases . We believe this change in accounting method is preferable as the characterization of these changes is better reflected as depreciation. We have retrospectively applied this change in accounting method to all prior periods. At December 31, 2018 , this reclassification increased accumulated depreciation and decreased allowance for credit losses by $78 million within Net investment in operating leases . This change had no impact on our consolidated income statement, consolidated balance sheet or Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the interim periods presented.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Adoption of New Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases . On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification 842 and all the related amendments (“new lease standard”) using the modified retrospective method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new lease 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 lease accounting standard in effect for those periods. We do not expect the adoption of the new lease standard to have a material impact to our net income on an ongoing basis. The new lease standard requires all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations. We elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of the new standard that retained the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard. We did not reassess whether any contracts or land easements entered into prior to adoption are leases or contain leases. The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2019, for the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases , was as follows (in millions): Balance at December 31, 2018 Adjustments due to ASU 2016-02 Balance at January 1, 2019 Balance sheet Assets Other assets, current $ 3,930 $ (8 ) $ 3,922 Other assets, non-current 7,929 1,324 9,253 Deferred income taxes 10,412 (4 ) 10,408 Liabilities Other liabilities and deferred revenue, current 20,556 316 20,872 Other liabilities and deferred revenue, non-current 23,588 983 24,571 Equity Retained earnings 22,668 13 22,681 We also adopted the following ASUs effective January 1, 2019, none of which had a material impact to our financial statements or financial statement disclosures: ASU Effective Date 2018-17 Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities January 1, 2019 2018-16 Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes January 1, 2019 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement January 1, 2019 2018-08 Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made January 1, 2019 2018-07 Stock Compensation - Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting January 1, 2019 2018-02 Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (a) January 1, 2019 __________ (a) Ford did not elect to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) to Retained earnings . NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued) Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements. 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. We plan to adopt the new standard and the related amendments on the effective date of January 1, 2020, by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of Retained earnings . We anticipate adoption will increase the amount of expected credit losses reported in Ford Credit finance receivables, net on our consolidated balance sheet and do not expect a material impact to our consolidated income statement.

REVENUE (Continued) The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize on our vehicles, parts, and accessories varies with changes in marketing incentives and returns we offer to our customers and their customers. As a result of changes in our estimate of marketing incentives, we recorded a decrease related to revenue recognized in prior periods of $220 million and $350 million in the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 , respectively. We sell separately-priced service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance coverages beyond our base warranty agreements to vehicle owners (“extended service contracts”). At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018 , $3.8 billion and $4 billion , respectively, of unearned revenue associated with outstanding contracts was reported in Other liabilities and deferred revenue. We recognized $269 million and $285 million of the unearned amounts as revenue during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 , respectively, and $567 million and $590 million in the first half of 2018 and 2019 , respectively. At June 30, 2019 , the unearned amount was $4 billion . We expect to recognize approximately $600 million of the unearned amount in the remainder of 2019 , $1.1 billion in 2020 , and $2.3 billion thereafter. Amounts paid to dealers to obtain these contracts are deferred and recorded as Other assets . We had a balance of $247 million and $258 million in deferred costs as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 , respectively, and recognized $19 million and $20 million of amortization during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 , respectively, and $37 million and $39 million in the first half of 2018 and 2019 , respectively.

Receivables [Abstract]
FINANCIAL SERVICES FINANCE RECEIVABLES	FORD CREDIT FINANCE RECEIVABLES Ford Credit manages finance receivables as “consumer” and “non-consumer” portfolios. The receivables are generally secured by the vehicles, inventory, or other property being financed. Finance receivables, net were as follows (in millions): December 31, June 30, Consumer Retail installment contracts, gross $ 70,874 $ 68,737 Finance leases, gross 8,748 8,983 Retail financing, gross 79,622 77,720 Unearned interest supplements (3,508 ) (3,512 ) Consumer finance receivables 76,114 74,208 Non-Consumer Dealer financing 34,372 33,936 Non-Consumer finance receivables 34,372 33,936 Total recorded investment $ 110,486 $ 108,144 Recorded investment in finance receivables $ 110,486 $ 108,144 Allowance for credit losses (589 ) (513 ) Finance receivables, net $ 109,897 $ 107,631 Current portion $ 54,353 $ 53,756 Non-current portion 55,544 53,875 Finance receivables, net $ 109,897 $ 107,631 Net finance receivables subject to fair value (a) $ 101,471 $ 99,010 Fair value (b) 100,877 99,142 __________ (a) Net finance receivables subject to fair value exclude finance leases. Previously, certain consumer financing products in Europe were classified as retail installment contracts. We now classify these products as finance leases. Comparative information has been revised to reflect this change. (b) The fair value of finance receivables is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Ford Credit’s finance leases are comprised of sales-type and direct financing leases. Ford Credit offers finance leases to individuals, leasing companies, government entities, daily rental companies, and fleet customers. These financings include primarily lease plans for terms of 24 to 60 months. Financing revenue from finance leases for the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 was $95 million and $97 million , respectively, and for the first half of 2018 and 2019 was $190 million and $189 million , respectively. Financing revenue from finance leases is included in Ford Credit revenues on the consolidated income statement. The amounts contractually due on Ford Credit’s finance lease receivables were as follows (in millions): June 30, Within one year $ 2,075 After one year and within two years 2,005 After two years and within three years 1,599 After three years and within four years 708 After four years and within five years 120 After five years 2 Total future cash payments 6,509 Less: Present value discount (313 ) Finance lease receivables $ 6,196 NOTE 8. FORD CREDIT FINANCE RECEIVABLES (Continued) The reconciliation from finance lease receivables to finance leases, gross and finance leases, net is as follows (in millions): June 30, Finance lease receivables $ 6,196 Unguaranteed residual assets 2,661 Initial direct costs 126 Finance leases, gross 8,983 Unearned interest supplements from Ford and affiliated companies (345 ) Allowance for credit losses (17 ) Finance leases, net $ 8,621 At December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 , accrued uncollected interest was $264 million and $262 million , respectively, which is reported in Other assets in the current assets section of our consolidated balance sheet. Included in the recorded investment in finance receivables at December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 , were consumer receivables of $40.7 billion and $39.3 billion , respectively, and non-consumer receivables of $25.7 billion and $25.1 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. Aging For all finance receivables, Ford Credit defines “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 $20 million at December 31, 2018 . At June 30, 2019 , there were no balances greater than 90 days past due that are still accruing interest. The aging analysis of Ford Credit’s finance receivables balances was as follows (in millions): December 31, June 30, Consumer 31-60 days past due $ 859 $ 662 61-90 days past due 123 103 91-120 days past due 39 31 Greater than 120 days past due 39 39 Total past due 1,060 835 Current 75,054 73,373 Consumer finance receivables 76,114 74,208 Non-Consumer Total past due 76 70 Current 34,296 33,866 Non-Consumer finance receivables 34,372 33,936 Total recorded investment $ 110,486 $ 108,144 NOTE 8. FORD CREDIT FINANCE RECEIVABLES (Continued) Credit Quality Consumer Portfolio. Credit quality ratings for consumer receivables are based on aging. 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; and • 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; and • Group IV – poor financial metrics, including dealers classified as uncollectible. The credit quality analysis of dealer financing receivables was as follows (in millions): December 31, June 30, Dealer Financing Group I $ 27,032 $ 26,333 Group II 5,635 6,020 Group III 1,576 1,468 Group IV 129 115 Total recorded investment $ 34,372 $ 33,936 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, 2018 and June 30, 2019 was $370 million and $337 million , or 0.5% and 0.5% of consumer receivables, respectively. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables that were impaired at December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 was $129 million and $115 million , or 0.4% and 0.3% of non-consumer receivables, respectively. Impaired finance receivables are evaluated both collectively and specifically.

Net Investment in Leases [Abstract]
Lessor, Operating Leases [Text Block]	NET INVESTMENT IN OPERATING LEASES Net investment in operating leases consists primarily of lease contracts for vehicles with individuals, daily rental companies, government entities, and fleet customers. Assets subject to operating leases are depreciated using the straight-line method over the term of the lease to reduce the asset to its estimated residual value. Estimated residual values are based on assumptions for used vehicle prices at lease termination and the number of vehicles that are expected to be returned. The net investment in operating leases was as follows (in millions): December 31, 2018 June 30, Automotive Segment Vehicles, net of depreciation $ 1,705 $ 2,107 Ford Credit Segment Vehicles and other equipment, at cost (a) 33,557 33,583 Accumulated depreciation (6,143 ) (5,892 ) Total Ford Credit Segment 27,414 27,691 Total $ 29,119 $ 29,798 __________ (a) Includes Ford Credit’s operating lease assets of $16.3 billion and $14 billion at December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 , respectively, that have been included in securitization transactions.

Cost and Equity Method Investments Disclosure [Text Block]	OTHER INVESTMENTS We have investments in entities for which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence and fair values are not readily available. We record these investments at cost (less impairment, if any), adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. We report the carrying value of these investments in Other assets in the non-current assets section of our consolidated balance sheet. These investments were $250 million and $727 million at December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 , respectively. The increase from December 31, 2018 primarily reflects the $500 million investment in Rivian we made during the second quarter of 2019 . In the first half of 2019 , there were no material adjustments to the fair values of these investments held at June 30, 2019 .

Other components of net periodic benefit cost/(income) are included in Other income/(loss), net on our consolidated income statement. As part of our ongoing global redesign activities, we recognized additional pension expense of $232 million and $245 million in the second quarter and first half of 2019, respectively, related to separation programs. In addition, in the second quarter , we recognized a settlement, which required a plan remeasurement at current discount rates, asset returns, and economic conditions. This resulted in a remeasurement gain of $10 million and a settlement gain of $50 million . Until our global redesign actions are completed, we anticipate further adjustments to our plans in subsequent periods. Pension Plan Contributions During 2019 , we expect to contribute about $650 million (most of which are mandatory contributions) from cash and cash equivalents to our worldwide funded pension plans and to make about $350 million of benefit payments to participants in unfunded plans, for a total of about $1 billion . In the first half of 2019 , we contributed about $400 million (including $140 million in discretionary contributions in the United States) to our worldwide funded pension plans and made about $150 million of benefit payments to participants in unfunded plans.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases of Lessee Disclosure [Text Block]	LEASE COMMITMENTS We lease land, dealership facilities, offices, distribution centers, warehouses, and equipment under agreements with contractual periods ranging from less than one year to 40 years. Many of our leases contain one or more options to extend. In certain dealership lease agreements, we are the tenant and we sublease the site to a dealer. In the event the sublease is terminated, we have the option to terminate the head lease. We include options that we are reasonably certain to exercise in our evaluation of the lease term after considering all relevant economic and financial factors. Leases that are economically similar to the purchase of an asset are classified as finance leases. The leased (“right-of-use”) assets in finance lease arrangements are reported in Net property on our consolidated balance sheet. Otherwise, the leases are classified as operating leases and reported in Other assets in the non-current assets section of our consolidated balance sheet. For the majority of our leases commencing after January 1, 2019, we do not separate the non-lease components (e.g., maintenance and operating services) from the lease components to which they relate. Instead, non-lease components are included in the measurement of the lease liabilities. However, we do separate lease and non-lease components for contracts containing a significant service component (e.g., energy performance contracts). We calculate the initial lease liability as the present value of fixed payments not yet paid and variable payments that are based on a market rate or an index (e.g., CPI), measured at commencement. The majority of our leases are discounted using our incremental borrowing rate because the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. All other variable payments are expensed as incurred. Lease right-of-use assets and liabilities at June 30 were as follows (in millions): June 30, Operating leases Other assets, non-current $ 1,299 Other liabilities and deferred revenue, current $ 327 Other liabilities and deferred revenue, non-current 1,013 Total operating lease liabilities $ 1,340 Finance leases Property and equipment, gross $ 234 Accumulated depreciation (39 ) Property and equipment, net $ 195 Automotive debt payable within one year $ 89 Automotive long-term debt 72 Total finance lease liabilities $ 161 Minimum non-cancellable operating lease commitments at December 31, 2018 were as follows (in millions): Operating Leases 2019 $ 363 2020 271 2021 193 2022 141 2023 106 Thereafter 437 Total $ 1,511 NOTE 16.

Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [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. Costs associated with benefits that are contingent on the employee continuing to provide service are accrued over the required service period. Automotive Segment As announced, we are executing a global redesign of our business. Redesign-related activities, including employee separation costs, payments to dealers and suppliers, and other charges, are recorded in Cost of sales and Selling, administrative, and other expenses . Below are actions we have initiated as part of the redesign. Brazil. On February 15, 2019, Ford Motor Company Brasil Ltda. (“Ford Brazil”), our subsidiary in Brazil, committed to a plan to exit the commercial heavy truck business in South America. As a result, Ford Brazil will cease production at the São Bernardo do Campo plant in Brazil during 2019. Russia. On March 27, 2019, Ford Sollers Netherlands B.V. (“Ford Sollers”), a joint venture between Ford and Sollers PJSC (“Sollers”) in which Ford had control, announced its plan to restructure its business in Russia to focus exclusively on commercial vehicles and to exit the passenger car segment. As a result of these actions, Ford acquired a 100% ownership of Ford Sollers and ceased production at the Naberezhnye Chelny and St. Petersburg vehicle assembly plants and the Elabuga engine plant during the second quarter of 2019. Subsequent to the completion of the restructuring actions, in July 2019, Ford sold a 51% controlling interest in the restructured entity to Sollers. United Kingdom. On June 5, 2019, Ford Motor Company Limited (“Ford of Britain”), a subsidiary of Ford, announced its plan to exit the Ford Bridgend plant in South Wales in 2020. Other Global Redesign Actions. In 2018, we announced our plan to end production at the Ford Aquitaine Industries plant in Bordeaux, France, and in March 2019, we announced our plan to phase-out the production of the C-Max at the Saarlouis Body and Assembly Plant in Germany. Furthermore, we are reducing our global workforce and taking other restructuring actions.

Noncontrolling Interest Disclosure [Text Block]	REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST We formed the Ford Sollers joint venture with Sollers in October 2011 to operate in Russia. The value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, reflecting redemption features embedded in the 50% equity interest in the joint venture held by Sollers, reported in the mezzanine section of our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 was $100 million . The redeemable noncontrolling interest became exercisable beginning on January 1, 2019, and Sollers exercised its option in March 2019 for a value of $135 million . The $35 million increase in value from December 2018 was reported in Income/(Loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests on our consolidated income statement during the first quarter of 2019.

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 $ 1,163 $ 1,043 Carrying value of recorded liabilities related to guarantees and limited indemnities 351 324 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 a 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 $897 million as of June 30, 2019 , 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 $297 million as our best estimate of the amount we will have to pay under the guarantee. 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 22. 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 $700 million . In addition, we have a reasonably possible risk of loss for an emission matter. At this stage, we cannot estimate the risk of loss or predict the outcome, and cannot provide reasonable assurance that it will not have a material adverse effect on us. 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 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 estimated supplier recoveries, for the periods ended June 30 was as follows (in millions): First Half 2018 2019 Beginning balance $ 5,296 $ 5,137 Payments made during the period (1,911 ) (2,192 ) Changes in accrual related to warranties issued during the period 1,252 1,424 Changes in accrual related to pre-existing warranties 337 715 Foreign currency translation and other (96 ) 23 Ending balance $ 4,878 $ 5,107 Revisions to our estimated costs are reported as changes in accrual related to pre-existing warranties in the table above.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION	SEGMENT INFORMATION Below is a description of our reportable segments and other activities. Automotive Segment Our Automotive segment primarily includes the sale of Ford and Lincoln vehicles, service parts, and accessories worldwide, together with the associated costs to develop, manufacture, distribute, and service the vehicles, parts, and accessories. This segment includes revenues and costs related to our electrification vehicle programs. The segment includes the following regional business units: North America, South America, Europe, China, Asia Pacific Operations, and Middle East & Africa. Mobility Segment Our Mobility segment primarily includes development costs related to our autonomous vehicles and our investment in mobility through Ford Smart Mobility LLC (“FSM”). Autonomous vehicles includes self-driving systems development and vehicle integration, autonomous vehicle research and advanced engineering, autonomous vehicle transportation-as-a-service network development, user experience, and business strategy and business development teams. FSM designs and builds mobility products and subscription services on its own, and collaborates with service providers and technology companies. In 2019, we began recording in the Mobility segment subscription related income previously reported in the Automotive segment. This income is generated from services managed in our Mobility segment. Ford Credit Segment The Ford Credit segment is comprised of the Ford Credit business on a consolidated basis, which is primarily vehicle-related financing and leasing activities. Corporate Other Corporate Other primarily includes corporate governance expenses, interest income (excluding interest earned on our extended service contract portfolio that is included in our Automotive segment) and portfolio gains and losses from our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, and foreign exchange derivatives gains and losses associated with intercompany lending. Corporate governance expenses are primarily administrative, delivering benefit on behalf of the global enterprise, and are not allocated to specific Automotive business units or operating segments. These include expenses related to setting and directing global policy, providing oversight and stewardship, and promoting the Company’s interests. The underlying assets and liabilities associated with these activities remain with the respective Automotive and Mobility segments. Interest on Debt Interest on Debt is presented as a separate reconciling item and consists of interest expense on Automotive and Other debt. The underlying liability is reported in the Automotive segment and in Corporate Other. Special Items Special Items are presented as a separate reconciling item. They consist of (i) pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses, (ii) significant personnel expenses, dealer-related costs, and facility-related charges stemming from our efforts to match production capacity and cost structure to market demand and changing model mix, and (iii) other items that we do not necessarily consider to be indicative of earnings from 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. We also report these special items separately to help investors track amounts related to these activities and to allow investors analyzing our results to identify certain infrequent significant items that they may wish to exclude when considering the trend of ongoing operating results.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]	As of January 1, 2019, we changed our accounting method for reporting early termination losses related to customer defaults on Ford Credit’s operating leases. Previously, we presented the early termination loss reserve on operating leases due to customer default events as part of the allowance for credit losses within Net investment in operating leases . We now consider the effects of operating lease early terminations when determining depreciation estimates, which are included as part of accumulated depreciation within Net investment in operating leases . We believe this change in accounting method is preferable as the characterization of these changes is better reflected as depreciation. We have retrospectively applied this change in accounting method to all prior periods. At December 31, 2018 , this reclassification increased accumulated depreciation and decreased allowance for credit losses by $78 million within Net investment in operating leases . This change had no impact on our consolidated income statement, consolidated balance sheet or Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the interim periods presented.

Receivables [Abstract]
Finance Loans and Leases Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]	For all finance receivables, Ford Credit defines “past due” as any payment, including principal and interest, that is at least 31 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
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	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. Derivative assets and liabilities are reported on our consolidated 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]
Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranties Policies [Policy Text Block]	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 a 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 $897 million as of June 30, 2019 , 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 $297 million as our best estimate of the amount we will have to pay under the guarantee. 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. 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 recovery is virtually certain. Recoveries are reported in Trade and other receivables and Other assets.
Commitments and Contingencies, Policy [Policy Text Block]	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 22. 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. 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.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize on our vehicles, parts, and accessories varies with changes in marketing incentives and returns we offer to our customers and their customers. As a result of changes in our estimate of marketing incentives, we recorded a decrease related to revenue recognized in prior periods of $220 million and $350 million in the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 , respectively. We sell separately-priced service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance coverages beyond our base warranty agreements to vehicle owners (“extended service contracts”). At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018 , $3.8 billion and $4 billion , respectively, of unearned revenue associated with outstanding contracts was reported in Other liabilities and deferred revenue. We recognized $269 million and $285 million of the unearned amounts as revenue during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 , respectively, and $567 million and $590 million in the first half of 2018 and 2019 , respectively. At June 30, 2019 , the unearned amount was $4 billion . We expect to recognize approximately $600 million of the unearned amount in the remainder of 2019 , $1.1 billion in 2020 , and $2.3 billion thereafter. Amounts paid to dealers to obtain these contracts are deferred and recorded as Other assets . We had a balance of $247 million and $258 million in deferred costs as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 , respectively, and recognized $19 million and $20 million of amortization during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 , respectively, and $37 million and $39 million in the first half of 2018 and 2019 , respectively.
