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 consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, instructions to the 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, 2019 (“2019 Form 10-K Report”). Global Pandemic On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. As a result, extraordinary actions were taken by international, federal, state, and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions throughout the world. These actions included travel bans, quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders, and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations. Although restrictions have been eased in many locations, some areas that had previously eased restrictions have reverted to more stringent limitations on daily activities. Consistent with the actions taken by governmental authorities, by late March 2020, we had idled all of our significant manufacturing operations in regions around the world. By May 2020, we restarted manufacturing operations in a phased manner at locations around the world. We have since returned to pre-COVID-19 production levels in several major markets. Our results include adjustments to our assets and liabilities made due to the impact of COVID-19, the most significant of which were a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets of $228 million and $1.1 billion for the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively (see Note 5 ), and a charge to the provision for credit losses on Ford Credit’s finance receivables of $46 million and $532 million during the second quarter and first half of 2020 , respectively (see Note 8 ). Our assessments of the effect of COVID-19 on our financial statements, including estimates, are based on a variety of factors and are subject to many uncertainties. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our full year financial results will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the outbreak, its impact on our operations, customers, dealers, and suppliers, and the rate at which economic conditions return to pre-COVID-19 levels.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Adoption of New Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . On January 1, 2020, we adopted the new credit loss standard and all of the related amendments, which replaced the incurred loss impairment method with a method that reflects lifetime expected credit losses. We adopted the changes in accounting for credit losses by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the new credit loss 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 standard in effect for those periods. The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2020, for the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , was as follows (in millions): Balance at December 31, 2019 Adjustments due to ASU 2016-13 Balance at January 1, 2020 Assets Ford Credit finance receivables, net, current $ 53,651 $ (69 ) $ 53,582 Trade and other receivables, net 9,237 (3 ) 9,234 Ford Credit finance receivables, net, non-current 53,703 (183 ) 53,520 Equity in net assets of affiliated companies 2,519 (7 ) 2,512 Deferred income taxes 11,863 2 11,865 Liabilities Deferred income taxes 490 (58 ) 432 Equity Retained earnings 20,320 (202 ) 20,118 ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting . On April 1, 2020, we adopted the new standard, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform (e.g., discontinuation of LIBOR) if certain criteria are met. As of June 30, 2020 , we have not yet elected any optional expedients provided in the standard. We will apply the accounting relief as relevant contract and hedge accounting relationship modifications are made during the reference rate reform transition period. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We also adopted the following ASUs during 2020, none of which had a material impact to our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures: ASU Effective Date 2020-01 Clarifying the Interaction between Equity Securities, Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Derivatives and Hedging January 1, 2020 2018-18 Clarifying the Interaction between Collaborative Arrangements and Revenue from Contracts with Customers January 1, 2020 2018-15 Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract January 1, 2020 Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements.

REVENUE (Continued) The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize on our vehicles, parts, and accessories varies with changes in return rights and marketing incentives we offer to our customers and their customers. Estimates of marketing incentives are based on expected retail and fleet sales volumes, mix of products to be sold, and incentive programs to be offered. Customer acceptance of products and programs, as well as other market conditions, will impact these estimates. As a result of changes in our estimate of marketing incentives, we recorded a decrease in revenue of $350 million in the second quarter of 2019 and an increase in revenue of $48 million in the second quarter of 2020 related to revenue recognized in prior periods. We sell separately-priced service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance coverages beyond our base warranty agreements to vehicle owners (“extended service contracts”). We had a balance of $4.2 billion and $4 billion of unearned revenue associated with outstanding contracts reported in Other liabilities and deferred revenue at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 , respectively . We expect to recognize approximately $600 million of the unearned amount in the remainder of 2020 , $1.1 billion in 2021 , and $2.3 billion thereafter. We recognized $285 million and $276 million of unearned amounts as revenue during the second quarter of 2019 and 2020 , respectively, and $590 million and $606 million in the first half of 2019 and 2020 , respectively. Amounts paid to dealers to obtain these contracts are deferred and recorded as Other assets . We had a balance of $270 million and $276 million in deferred costs as of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 , respectively. We recognized $20 million and $19 million of amortization during the second quarter of 2019 and 2020 , respectively, and $39 million in the first half of both 2019 and 2020 .

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. Based on all available evidence, we established a valuation allowance against certain net operating losses and tax credits of $228 million and $1.1 billion during the second quarter and first half of 2020

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities [Abstract]
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities [Text Block]	CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value due to interest rate, quoted price, or penalty on withdrawal. A debt security is classified as a cash equivalent if it meets these criteria and if it has a remaining time to maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Amounts on deposit and available upon demand, or negotiated to provide for daily liquidity without penalty, are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Time deposits, certificates of deposit, and money market accounts that meet the above criteria are reported at par value on our consolidated balance sheets. Marketable Securities Investments in securities with a maturity date greater than three months at the date of purchase, and other securities for which there is more than an insignificant risk of change in value due to interest rate, quoted price, or penalty on withdrawal, are classified as marketable securities . Realized gains and losses and interest income on all of our marketable securities and unrealized gains and losses on securities not classified as available for sale are recorded in Other income/(loss), net . Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in Unrealized gains and losses on securities , a component of Other comprehensive income/(loss), net of tax . Realized gains and losses and reclassifications of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income are measured using the specific identification method. On a quarterly basis, we review our available-for-sale debt securities for credit losses. We compare the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, we determine if a credit loss allowance is necessary. If a credit loss allowance is necessary, we will record an allowance, limited by the amount that fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, and recognize the corresponding charge in Other income/(loss), net . Factors we consider include the severity of the impairment, the reason for the decline in value, interest rate changes, and counterparty long-term ratings. NOTE 7.

Receivables [Abstract]
FORD CREDIT FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES	FORD CREDIT FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES 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 are recorded at the time of origination or purchase at fair value and are subsequently reported at amortized cost, net of any allowance for credit losses. 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. Ford Credit finance receivables, net were as follows (in millions): December 31, June 30, Consumer Retail installment contracts, gross $ 68,905 $ 70,773 Finance leases, gross 8,566 7,879 Retail financing, gross 77,471 78,652 Unearned interest supplements (3,589 ) (3,844 ) Consumer finance receivables 73,882 74,808 Non-Consumer Dealer financing 33,985 23,184 Non-Consumer finance receivables 33,985 23,184 Total recorded investment $ 107,867 $ 97,992 Recorded investment in finance receivables $ 107,867 $ 97,992 Allowance for credit losses (513 ) (1,285 ) Total finance receivables, net $ 107,354 $ 96,707 Current portion $ 53,651 $ 42,720 Non-current portion 53,703 53,987 Total finance receivables, net $ 107,354 $ 96,707 Net finance receivables subject to fair value (a) $ 99,168 $ 89,207 Fair value (b) 99,297 90,298 __________ (a) Net finance receivables subject to fair value exclude finance leases. (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. Financing revenue from finance leases for the second quarter of 2019 and 2020 was $97 million and $77 million , respectively, and for the first half of 2019 and 2020 was $189 million and $172 million , respectively, and is included in Ford Credit revenues on our consolidated income statements. At December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 , accrued interest was $251 million and $215 million , respectively, which we report in Other assets in the current assets section of our consolidated balance sheets. Included in the recorded investment in finance receivables at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 , were consumer receivables of $38.3 billion and $42.1 billion , respectively, and non-consumer receivables of $26.8 billion and $17.8 billion , respectively, that have been sold for legal purposes in securitization transactions but continue to be reported in our consolidated financial statements. The receivables are available only for payment of the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions; they are not available to pay the other obligations or the claims of Ford Credit’s other creditors. Ford Credit holds the right to receive the excess cash flows not needed to pay the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions. NOTE 8. FORD CREDIT FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued) The value of finance receivables considered held for sale at December 31, 2019 was $1.5 billion , primarily made up of $1.2 billion of Forso Nordic AB (“Forso”) related finance receivables. At June 30, 2020 , there were $50 million of certain wholesale finance receivables specifically identified as held for sale. These held-for-sale values are reported in Assets held for sale on our consolidated balance sheets. See Note 17 for additional information. 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. The credit quality analysis of consumer receivables at December 31, 2019 was as follows (in millions): Total Consumer 31 - 60 days past due $ 839 61 - 120 days past due 166 Greater than 120 days past due 35 Total past due 1,040 Current 72,842 Total $ 73,882 The credit quality analysis of consumer receivables at June 30, 2020 was as follows (in millions): Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year Prior to 2016 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Total Consumer 31 - 60 days past due $ 45 $ 60 $ 98 $ 135 $ 124 $ 31 $ 493 61 - 120 days past due 9 17 33 44 40 10 153 Greater than 120 days past due 14 7 8 9 6 — 44 Total past due 68 84 139 188 170 41 690 Current 1,631 4,199 9,581 17,452 24,396 16,859 74,118 Total $ 1,699 $ 4,283 $ 9,720 $ 17,640 $ 24,566 $ 16,900 $ 74,808 Non-Consumer Portfolio. Ford Credit uses a proprietary model to assign each dealer a risk rating. This model uses historical dealer performance data to identify key factors about a dealer that are considered most significant in predicting a dealer’s ability to meet its financial obligations. Ford Credit also considers numerous other financial and qualitative factors of the dealer’s operations, including capitalization and leverage, liquidity and cash flow, profitability, and credit history with Ford Credit and other creditors. The credit quality of dealer financing receivables is evaluated based on an internal dealer risk rating analysis. NOTE 8. FORD CREDIT FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued) 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 at December 31, 2019 was as follows (in millions): Total Dealer financing Group I $ 26,281 Group II 5,407 Group III 2,108 Group IV 189 Total (a) $ 33,985 __________ (a) Total past due dealer financing receivables at December 31, 2019 were $62 million . The credit quality analysis of dealer financing receivables at June 30, 2020 was as follows (in millions): Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year Wholesale Loans Dealer Loans Prior to 2016 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Total Total Group I $ 608 $ 132 $ 159 $ 221 $ 98 $ 237 $ 1,455 $ 14,102 $ 15,557 Group II 38 32 17 18 7 72 184 5,317 5,501 Group III 9 — 4 17 6 28 64 1,908 1,972 Group IV 2 3 — — 2 4 11 143 154 Total (a) $ 657 $ 167 $ 180 $ 256 $ 113 $ 341 $ 1,714 $ 21,470 $ 23,184 __________ (a) Total past due dealer financing receivables at June 30, 2020 were $143 million . Non-Accrual of Revenue. The accrual of financing revenue is discontinued at the time a receivable is determined to be uncollectible or when it is 90 days past due. Accounts may be restored to accrual status only when a customer settles all past-due deficiency balances and future payments are reasonably assured. For receivables in non-accrual status, subsequent financing revenue is recognized only to the extent a payment is received. Payments are generally applied first to outstanding interest and then to the unpaid principal balance. Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”). A restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR if a concession is granted to a debtor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties that Ford Credit otherwise would not consider. Consumer and non-consumer receivables that have a modified interest rate below market rate or that were modified in reorganization proceedings pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, except non-consumer receivables that are current with minimal risk of loss, are considered to be TDRs. Ford Credit does not grant concessions on the principal balance of the receivables. If a receivable is modified in a reorganization proceeding, all payment requirements of the reorganization plan need to be met before remaining balances are forgiven. Ford Credit has offered various programs to provide relief to customers and dealers impacted by COVID-19. These programs, which were broadly available to customers and dealers, included payment extensions. Ford Credit concluded that these programs did not meet TDR criteria. As of June 30, 2020, in the United States, Ford Credit has received payments on 88% of the pandemic extensions offered to its customers, and no dealers are delinquent on their payments. NOTE 8. FORD CREDIT FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued) Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses represents an estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses inherent in finance receivables as of the balance sheet date. Additions to the allowance for credit losses are made by recording charges to Ford Credit interest, operating, and other expenses on our consolidated income statements. The uncollectible portion of a finance receivable is charged to the allowance for credit losses at the earlier of when an account is deemed to be uncollectible or when an account is 120 days delinquent, taking into consideration the financial condition of the customer or borrower, the value of the collateral, recourse to guarantors, and other factors . Charge-offs on finance receivables include uncollected amounts related to principal, interest, late fees, and other allowable charges. Recoveries on finance receivables previously charged off as uncollectible are credited to the allowance for credit losses. In the event Ford Credit repossesses the collateral, the receivable is charged off and the collateral is recorded at its estimated fair value less costs to sell and reported in Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Consumer Portfolio Receivables in this portfolio include products offered to individuals and businesses that finance the acquisition of Ford and Lincoln vehicles from dealers for personal or commercial use. Retail financing includes retail installment contracts for new and used vehicles and finance leases with retail customers, government entities, daily rental companies, and fleet customers. For consumer receivables that share similar risk characteristics such as product type, initial credit risk, term, vintage, geography, and other relevant factors, Ford Credit estimates the lifetime expected credit loss allowance based on a collective assessment using measurement models and management judgment. The lifetime expected credit losses for the receivables is determined by applying probability of default and loss given default models to monthly expected exposures, then discounting these cash flows to present value using the receivable’s original effective interest rate or the current effective interest rate for a variable rate receivable. Probability of default models are developed from internal risk scoring models taking into account the expected probability of payment and time to default, adjusted for macroeconomic outlook and recent performance. The models consider factors such as risk evaluation at the time of origination, historical trends in credit losses (which include the impact of TDRs), and the composition and recent performance of the present portfolio (including vehicle brand, term, risk evaluation, and new / used vehicles). The loss given default is the percentage of the expected balance due at default that is not recoverable, taking into account the expected collateral value and trends in recoveries (including key metrics such as delinquencies, repossessions, and bankruptcies). Monthly exposures are equal to the receivables’ expected outstanding principal and interest balance. The loss allowance incorporates forward-looking macroeconomic conditions for baseline, upturn, and downturn scenarios. Three separate credit loss allowances are calculated from these scenarios. They are then probability-weighted to determine the credit loss allowance recognized in the financial statements. Ford Credit uses forecasts from a third party that revert to a long-term historical average after a reasonable and supportable forecasting period, which is specific to the particular macroeconomic variable and which varies by market. Ford Credit updates the forward-looking macroeconomic forecasts quarterly. If management does not believe these models reflect lifetime expected credit losses for the portfolio, an adjustment is made to reflect management judgment regarding observable changes in recent or expected economic trends and conditions, portfolio composition, and other relevant factors. On an ongoing basis, Ford Credit reviews its models, including macroeconomic factors, the selection of macroeconomic scenarios, and their weighting, to ensure they reflect the risk of the portfolio. NOTE 8. FORD CREDIT FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued) Non-Consumer Portfolio Dealer financing includes wholesale loans to dealers to finance vehicle inventory, also known as floorplan financing, as well as loans to dealers to finance working capital, improvements to dealership facilities, the purchase of dealership real estate, and other dealer programs. Dealer financing is evaluated on an individual dealer basis by segmenting dealers by risk characteristics (such as the amount of the loans, the nature of the collateral, the financial status of the dealer, and any TDR modifications) to determine if an individual dealer requires a specific allowance for credit loss. If required, the allowance is based on the present value of the expected future cash flows of the dealer’s receivables discounted at the loans’ original effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral adjusted for estimated costs to sell. For the remaining dealer financing, Ford Credit estimates an allowance for credit losses on a collective basis. Wholesale Loans. Ford Credit estimates the allowance for credit losses for wholesale loans based on historical loss-to-receivable (LTR) ratios, expected future cash flows, and the fair value of collateral. For wholesale loans with similar risk characteristics, the allowance for credit losses is estimated on a collective basis using the LTR model and management judgment. The LTR model is based on the most recent years of history. An LTR is calculated by dividing credit losses (i.e., charge-offs net of recoveries) by average net finance receivables, excluding unearned interest supplements and allowance for credit losses. The average LTR is multiplied by the end-of-period balances, representing the lifetime expected credit loss reserve. Dealer Loans. Ford Credit uses a weighted-average remaining maturity method to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss reserve for dealer loans. The loss model is based on the industry-wide commercial real estate credit losses, adjusted to factor in the historical credit losses for the dealer loans portfolio. The expected credit loss is calculated under different economic scenarios that are weighted to provide the total lifetime expected credit loss. After establishing the collective and specific allowance for credit losses, if management believes the allowance does not reflect all losses inherent in the portfolio due to changes in recent economic trends and conditions, or other relevant forward-looking economic factors, an adjustment is made based on management judgment. NOTE 8. FORD CREDIT FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued) An analysis of the allowance for credit losses related to finance receivables for the periods ended June 30 was as follows (in millions): Second Quarter 2019 (a) First Half 2019 (a) Consumer Non-Consumer Total Consumer Non-Consumer Total Allowance for credit losses Beginning balance $ 496 $ 17 $ 513 $ 566 $ 23 $ 589 Charge-offs (117 ) — (117 ) (254 ) (17 ) (271 ) Recoveries 45 6 51 88 8 96 Provision for credit losses 70 (7 ) 63 94 2 96 Other (c) 2 1 3 2 1 3 Ending balance $ 496 $ 17 $ 513 $ 496 $ 17 $ 513 Second Quarter 2020 First Half 2020 Consumer Non-Consumer Total Consumer Non-Consumer Total Allowance for credit losses Beginning balance $ 1,157 $ 74 $ 1,231 $ 496 $ 17 $ 513 Adoption of ASU 2016-13 (b) — — — 247 5 252 Charge-offs (c) (80 ) — (80 ) (225 ) (1 ) (226 ) Recoveries (c) 33 1 34 76 3 79 Provision for credit losses 94 (1 ) 93 628 51 679 Other (d) 7 — 7 (11 ) (1 ) (12 ) Ending balance $ 1,211 $ 74 $ 1,285 $ 1,211 $ 74 $ 1,285 __________ (a) The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standard in effect during 2019. (b) Cumulative pre-tax adjustments recorded to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. See Note 2 for additional information. (c) Charge-offs and recoveries were lower in the second quarter of 2020 reflecting program extensions and decision to temporarily suspend involuntary repossessions due to COVID-19. (d) Primarily represents amounts related to translation adjustments. During the second quarter and first half of 2020, the allowance for credit losses increased $54 million and $772 million , respectively. The change in the second quarter reflects an increase of $46 million , primarily attributable to COVID-19, and an increase for translation adjustments. The change in the first half reflects an increase to the reserve of $252 million related to the adoption of ASU 2016-13 and an increase of $532 million , primarily attributable to COVID-19, offset by a decrease for translation adjustments. The first half change to the reserve reflects economic uncertainty which, along with the expectation of continued higher unemployment, is expected to increase the probability of default and loss given default rates in our consumer portfolio, especially in the United States. These economic trends and conditions are also expected to negatively impact the dealers. The relatively moderate reserve increase in the second quarter reflects Ford Credit's view that future economic conditions are largely unchanged from its assumptions at March 31. Although net charge-offs during the second quarter and first half of 2020 remained low, reflecting government relief programs, customer payment deferral programs, and Ford Credit's decision to temporarily suspend involuntary repossessions, the future impact of COVID-19 on credit losses is expected to be adverse.

As part of our ongoing global redesign activities, we recognized additional expense of $232 million and $51 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 2020 , respectively, and $245 million and $75 million in the first half of 2019 and 2020 , respectively, related to separation programs. In addition, in the second quarter , we recognized settlements and curtailments, which required plan remeasurements at current discount rates, asset returns, and economic conditions. This resulted in remeasurement gains of $148 million and $170 million in the second quarter and first half of 2020 , respectively. Until our global redesign actions are completed, we anticipate further adjustments to our plans in subsequent periods. Pension Plan Contributions During 2020 , we expect to contribute between $500 million and $700 million of cash to our global funded pension plans. We also expect to make about $350 million of benefit payments to participants in unfunded plans. In the first half of 2020 , we contributed $282 million to our worldwide funded pension plans and made $176 million of benefit payments to participants in unfunded plans.

Restructuring Cost and Reserve [Line Items]
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 Global Redesign As previously 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. In February 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 ceased production at the São Bernardo do Campo plant in Brazil during 2019. Russia. In March 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 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 completion of the restructuring actions, in July 2019, Ford sold a 51% controlling interest in the restructured entity to Sollers, which resulted in deconsolidation of the Ford Sollers subsidiary. Our continued involvement in Ford Sollers is accounted for as an equity method investment. United Kingdom. In June 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. India. In the third quarter of 2019, Ford committed to a plan to sell specific net assets in our India Automotive operations. See Note 17 for additional information concerning this plan. 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. The following table summarizes the redesign-related activities for the periods ended June 30 , which are recorded in Other liabilities and deferred revenue (in millions): Second Quarter First Half 2019 2020 2019 2020 Beginning balance $ 414 $ 601 $ 291 $ 734 Changes in accruals (a) 741 26 1,008 94 Payments (222 ) (99 ) (358 ) (271 ) Foreign currency translation (4 ) (4 ) (12 ) (33 ) Ending balance $ 929 $ 524 $ 929 $ 524 __________ (a) Excludes pension costs of $182 million and $51 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 2020 , respectively, and $195 million and $75 million in the first half of 2019 and 2020 , respectively. NOTE 16. EMPLOYEE SEPARATION ACTIONS AND EXIT AND DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES (Continued) We also recorded $291 million and $36 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 2020 , respectively, and $542 million and $50 million in the first half of 2019 and 2020 , respectively, for accelerated depreciation and other non-cash items. We estimate that we will incur total charges in 2020 that range between $700 million and $1.2 billion related to the actions above, primarily attributable to employee separations, accelerated depreciation, and dealer and supplier settlements. Other Actions United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW”) Voluntary Separation Packages. As agreed in the collective bargaining agreement ratified in November 2019, during the first quarter of 2020, we offered voluntary separation packages to our UAW hourly workforce who were eligible for normal or early retirement, and recorded associated costs of $201 million in Cost of sales . All separations are expected to occur before the end of the year.

Held for Sale Operations Automotive Segment [Abstract]
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]	HELD-FOR-SALE OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES Automotive Segment In the third quarter of 2019, we committed to a plan to sell specific net assets in our India Automotive operations. We entered into a definitive agreement to form a joint venture with Mahindra & Mahindra Limited (“Mahindra”), with Mahindra owning a 51% controlling stake and Ford owning a 49% stake. Under the terms of the transaction, which is expected to close in 2020, we will sell certain India Automotive operations to the joint venture. Accordingly, we have reported the assets and liabilities of these operations as held for sale and ceased depreciation and amortization of those assets. The assets and liabilities of our India Automotive operations classified as held for sale were as follows (in millions): December 31, June 30, Assets Trade and other receivables, net $ 269 $ 101 Inventories 208 244 Other assets, current 147 108 Net property 279 263 Other assets, non-current 10 8 Total assets of held-for-sale operations 913 724 Less: Intercompany asset balances (228 ) (54 ) Automotive segment total assets of held-for-sale operations (a) $ 685 $ 670 Liabilities Payables $ 461 $ 263 Other liabilities and deferred revenue, current 71 53 Automotive debt payable within one year 90 83 Other liabilities and deferred revenue, non-current 28 25 Total liabilities of held-for-sale operations 650 424 Less: Intercompany liability balances (169 ) (140 ) Automotive segment total liabilities of held-for-sale operations (a) $ 481 $ 284 __________ (a) As of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 , intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated on the consolidated balance sheets. Upon closing, the buyer will assume the intercompany assets and liabilities. Accordingly, we have presented those balances in the table for informational purposes. NOTE 17. HELD-FOR-SALE OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES (Continued) We recognized pre-tax impairment charges of $804 million in 2019, and $15 million and $18 million in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, to adjust the carrying value of the held-for-sale assets to fair value less cost to sell. These charges are reported in Cost of sales . The value is measured on a nonrecurring basis and categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We determined fair value using a market approach, estimated based on expected proceeds to be received, which we conclude is most representative of the value of the assets given the current market conditions, the characteristics of viable market participants, and the pending sales transaction. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions that may impact the final proceeds received. Mobility Segment On June 1, 2020, we completed a transaction with VW that reduced our ownership interest in the autonomous vehicle technology company Argo AI and resulted in Ford and VW holding equal interests in Argo AI, with the remaining interest consisting of incentive units and founders’ equity. The transaction involved us selling a portion of our Argo AI equity to VW for $500 million and VW making additional investments in Argo AI, including contributing its Autonomous Intelligent Driving company. As a result of the transaction, we deconsolidated Argo AI, remeasured our retained investment in Argo AI at fair value, and recognized a $3.5 billion gain in Other income/(loss), of which $2.9 billion related to our retained investment in Argo AI. We measured the fair value of Argo AI using the income approach. The significant assumptions used in the valuation included Argo AI’s projected long-term cash flows and related terminal value, discounted at a rate typically used for a company at Argo AI’s stage of development. Our retained investment in Argo AI consists of an equity method investment of $2.4 billion and a preferred equity security investment of $400 million , reflected on our consolidated balance sheets in Equity in net assets of affiliated companies and Other assets , respectively. The difference between the fair value of our equity method investment and the carrying value of Argo AI’s net assets is primarily related to indefinite-lived assets. We also have agreed to future funding of Argo AI of $600 million , subject to capital calls, which will increase our preferred equity investment. Argo AI is a variable interest entity of which we are not the primary beneficiary. As of June 30, 2020 , our maximum exposure to any potential losses associated with Argo AI is limited to our $2.8 billion of investments. NOTE 17. HELD-FOR-SALE OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES (Continued) Ford Credit Segment In the fourth quarter of 2019, Ford Credit committed to a plan to sell its operations in Forso, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Credit, which provides retail and dealer financing in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. As a result, we classified the assets and liabilities of these operations as held for sale and recognized a pre-tax fair value impairment charge of $20 million , reported in Other income/(loss), net , in the fourth quarter of 2019. The assets and liabilities of the Forso operations classified as held for sale at December 31, 2019 were as follows (in millions): December 31, Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 61 Ford Credit finance receivables, net, current 516 Trade and other receivables, net 8 Other assets, current 106 Ford Credit finance receivables, net, non-current 715 Net property 2 Deferred income taxes 9 Other assets, non-current 1 Total assets of held-for-sale operations 1,418 Less: Intercompany asset balances (2 ) Ford Credit segment total assets of held-for-sale operations (a) $ 1,416 Liabilities Payables $ 34 Other liabilities and deferred revenue, current 8 Ford Credit long-term debt 1,254 Deferred income taxes 23 Total liabilities of held-for-sale operations 1,319 Less: Intercompany liability balances (1,274 ) Ford Credit segment total liabilities of held-for-sale operations (a) $ 45 __________ (a) As of December 31, 2019 , intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated on the consolidated balance sheets. Upon closing, the buyer assumed the intercompany assets and liabilities. Accordingly, we have presented those balances in the table for informational purposes. On February 28, 2020, Ford Credit completed the sale of Forso recognizing a pre-tax loss of $4 million , reported in Other income/(loss ) , net , and cash proceeds of $1.3 billion .

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 and field service actions. Guarantees and Indemnifications Financial Guarantees. Financial guarantees and indemnifications are recorded at fair value at their inception. Subsequent to initial recognition, the guarantee liability is adjusted at each reporting period to reflect the current estimate of expected payments resulting from possible default events over the remaining life of the guarantee. The probability of default is applied to the expected exposure at the time of default less recoveries to determine the expected payments. Factors to consider when estimating the probability of default include the obligor’s financial position, forecasted economic environment, historical loss rates, and other communications. The liability recorded represents Ford’s exposure to credit risk. The maximum potential payments for financial guarantees were $162 million and $429 million at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 , respectively. The carrying value of recorded liabilities related to financial guarantees was $33 million and $43 million at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 , respectively. Our financial guarantees consist of 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. Non-Financial Guarantees. Non-financial 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. The maximum potential payments for non-financial guarantees were $587 million and $415 million at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 , respectively. The carrying value of recorded liabilities related to non-financial guarantees was $200 million and $110 million at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 , respectively. We guarantee the resale value of vehicles sold in certain arrangements to daily rental companies. The maximum potential payment of $410 million as of June 30, 2020 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 $109 million as our best estimate of the amount we will have to pay under the guarantee. 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 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. NOTE 19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) Litigation and Claims Various legal actions, proceedings, and claims (generally, “matters”) are pending or may be instituted or asserted against us. These include, but are not limited to, matters arising out of alleged defects in our products; product warranties; governmental regulations relating to safety, emissions, and fuel economy or other matters; government incentives; tax matters; alleged illegal acts resulting in fines or penalties; financial services; employment-related matters; dealer, supplier, and other contractual relationships; intellectual property rights; environmental matters; shareholder or investor matters; and financial reporting matters. Certain of the pending legal actions are, or purport to be, class actions. Some of the matters involve or may involve claims for compensatory, punitive, or antitrust or other treble damages in very large amounts, or demands for field service actions, environmental remediation programs, sanctions, loss of government incentives, assessments, or other relief, which, if granted, would require very large expenditures. The extent of our financial exposure to these matters is difficult to estimate. Many matters do not specify a dollar amount for damages, and many others specify only a jurisdictional minimum. To the extent an amount is asserted, our historical experience suggests that in most instances the amount asserted is not a reliable indicator of the ultimate outcome. We accrue for matters when losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. In evaluating matters for accrual and disclosure purposes, we take into consideration factors such as our historical experience with matters of a similar nature, the specific facts and circumstances asserted, the likelihood that we will prevail, and the severity of any potential loss. We reevaluate and update our accruals as matters progress over time. 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 $400 million . In addition, we have a reasonably possible risk of loss for an emission certification 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. NOTE 19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) Warranty and Field Service Actions We accrue the estimated cost of both base warranty coverages and field service actions at the time of sale. We establish our estimate of base warranty obligations using a patterned estimation model, using historical information regarding the nature, frequency, and average cost of claims for each vehicle line by model year. We establish our estimates of field service action obligations using a patterned estimation model, using historical information regarding the nature, frequency, severity, and average cost of claims for each model year. In addition, from time to time, we issue extended warranties at our expense, the estimated cost of which is accrued at the time of issuance. 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, net 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 2019 2020 Beginning balance $ 5,137 $ 5,702 Payments made during the period (2,192 ) (1,945 ) Changes in accrual related to warranties issued during the period 1,424 1,253 Changes in accrual related to pre-existing warranties 715 1,183 Foreign currency translation and other 23 (112 ) Ending balance $ 5,107 $ 6,081 Changes 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 We report segment information consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results and performance of the Company. Accordingly, we analyze the results of our business through the following segments: Automotive, Mobility, and Ford Credit. 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 (including Taiwan), and the International Markets Group. 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. 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 gains and losses from our cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other investments, 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.

On January 1, 2020, we adopted the new credit loss standard and all of the related amendments, which replaced the incurred loss impairment method with a method that reflects lifetime expected credit losses. We adopted the changes in accounting for credit losses by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the new credit loss 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 standard in effect for those periods. The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2020, for the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , was as follows (in millions): Balance at December 31, 2019 Adjustments due to ASU 2016-13 Balance at January 1, 2020 Assets Ford Credit finance receivables, net, current $ 53,651 $ (69 ) $ 53,582 Trade and other receivables, net 9,237 (3 ) 9,234 Ford Credit finance receivables, net, non-current 53,703 (183 ) 53,520 Equity in net assets of affiliated companies 2,519 (7 ) 2,512 Deferred income taxes 11,863 2 11,865 Liabilities Deferred income taxes 490 (58 ) 432 Equity Retained earnings 20,320 (202 ) 20,118 ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting .

As of June 30, 2020 , we have not yet elected any optional expedients provided in the standard. We will apply the accounting relief as relevant contract and hedge accounting relationship modifications are made during the reference rate reform transition period.

Estimates of marketing incentives are based on expected retail and fleet sales volumes, mix of products to be sold, and incentive programs to be offered. Customer acceptance of products and programs, as well as other market conditions, will impact these estimates. As a result of changes in our estimate of marketing incentives, we recorded a decrease in revenue of $350 million in the second quarter of 2019 and an increase in revenue of $48 million in the second quarter of 2020 related to revenue recognized in prior periods.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities [Abstract]
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value due to interest rate, quoted price, or penalty on withdrawal. A debt security is classified as a cash equivalent if it meets these criteria and if it has a remaining time to maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Amounts on deposit and available upon demand, or negotiated to provide for daily liquidity without penalty, are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Time deposits, certificates of deposit, and money market accounts that meet the above criteria are reported at par value on our consolidated balance sheets.
Marketable Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Investments in securities with a maturity date greater than three months at the date of purchase, and other securities for which there is more than an insignificant risk of change in value due to interest rate, quoted price, or penalty on withdrawal, are classified as marketable securities . Realized gains and losses and interest income on all of our marketable securities and unrealized gains and losses on securities not classified as available for sale are recorded in Other income/(loss), net .

Financing Receivable, Allowance for Credit Loss [Line Items]
Financing Receivable, Allowance for Credit Losses, Policy for Uncollectible Amounts [Policy Text Block]	The allowance for credit losses represents an estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses inherent in finance receivables as of the balance sheet date. Additions to the allowance for credit losses are made by recording charges to Ford Credit interest, operating, and other expenses on our consolidated income statements. The uncollectible portion of a finance receivable is charged to the allowance for credit losses at the earlier of when an account is deemed to be uncollectible or when an account is 120 days delinquent, taking into consideration the financial condition of the customer or borrower, the value of the collateral, recourse to guarantors, and other factors . Charge-offs on finance receivables include uncollected amounts related to principal, interest, late fees, and other allowable charges. Recoveries on finance receivables previously charged off as uncollectible are credited to the allowance for credit losses. In the event Ford Credit repossesses the collateral, the receivable is charged off and the collateral is recorded at its estimated fair value less costs to sell and reported in Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets.
Financing Receivable [Policy Text Block]	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 are recorded at the time of origination or purchase at fair value and are subsequently reported at amortized cost, net of any allowance for credit losses. 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.

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 sheets 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.

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.

Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activity or Restructuring [Policy Text Block]	We recognized pre-tax impairment charges of $804 million in 2019, and $15 million and $18 million in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, to adjust the carrying value of the held-for-sale assets to fair value less cost to sell. These charges are reported in Cost of sales . The value is measured on a nonrecurring basis and categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We determined fair value using a market approach, estimated based on expected proceeds to be received, which we conclude is most representative of the value of the assets given the current market conditions, the characteristics of viable market participants, and the pending sales transaction. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions that may impact the final proceeds received.

These include, but are not limited to, matters arising out of alleged defects in our products; product warranties; governmental regulations relating to safety, emissions, and fuel economy or other matters; government incentives; tax matters; alleged illegal acts resulting in fines or penalties; financial services; employment-related matters; dealer, supplier, and other contractual relationships; intellectual property rights; environmental matters; shareholder or investor matters; and financial reporting matters. Certain of the pending legal actions are, or purport to be, class actions. Some of the matters involve or may involve claims for compensatory, punitive, or antitrust or other treble damages in very large amounts, or demands for field service actions, environmental remediation programs, sanctions, loss of government incentives, assessments, or other relief, which, if granted, would require very large expenditures. The extent of our financial exposure to these matters is difficult to estimate. Many matters do not specify a dollar amount for damages, and many others specify only a jurisdictional minimum. To the extent an amount is asserted, our historical experience suggests that in most instances the amount asserted is not a reliable indicator of the ultimate outcome. We accrue for matters when losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. In evaluating matters for accrual and disclosure purposes, we take into consideration factors such as our historical experience with matters of a similar nature, the specific facts and circumstances asserted, the likelihood that we will prevail, and the severity of any potential loss. We reevaluate and update our accruals as matters progress over time. 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.
Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranties Policies [Policy Text Block]	Warranty and Field Service Actions We accrue the estimated cost of both base warranty coverages and field service actions at the time of sale. We establish our estimate of base warranty obligations using a patterned estimation model, using historical information regarding the nature, frequency, and average cost of claims for each vehicle line by model year. We establish our estimates of field service action obligations using a patterned estimation model, using historical information regarding the nature, frequency, severity, and average cost of claims for each model year. In addition, from time to time, we issue extended warranties at our expense, the estimated cost of which is accrued at the time of issuance. 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, net and Other assets. $587 million and $415 million at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 , respectively. The carrying value of recorded liabilities related to non-financial guarantees was $200 million and $110 million at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 , respectively. We guarantee the resale value of vehicles sold in certain arrangements to daily rental companies. The maximum potential payment of $410 million as of June 30, 2020 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 $109 million as our best estimate of the amount we will have to pay under the guarantee. 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 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.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	We report segment information consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results and performance of the Company. Accordingly, we analyze the results of our business through the following segments: Automotive, Mobility, and Ford Credit. 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 (including Taiwan), and the International Markets Group. 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. 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 gains and losses from our cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other investments, 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.
