Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates	Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Harley-Davidson, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company), including the accounts of the groups of companies doing business as Harley-Davidson Motor Company (HDMC) and Harley-Davidson Financial Services (HDFS). In addition, certain variable interest entities (VIEs) related to secured financing are consolidated as the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company operates in two reportable segments: Motorcycles and Related Products (Motorcycles) and Financial Services. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Consolidated balance sheets as of September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , the Consolidated statements of income for the three and nine month periods then ended, the Consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods then ended, the Consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods then ended, and the Consolidated statements of shareholders' equity for the three and nine month periods then ended. Certain information and disclosures normally included in complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial reporting. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Standards

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Recently Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 amends the lease accounting model by requiring a lessee to recognize the rights and obligations resulting from certain leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 also requires a company to disclose key information about their leasing arrangements. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. Pursuant to ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, the Company applied the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance sheet on January 1, 2019. The Company elected the package of practical expedients upon transition that allows entities not to reassess lease identification, classification and initial direct costs for leases that existed prior to adoption. The Company also elected the short-term lease practical expedient that allows entities to recognize lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The Company has elected the practical expedient allowing entities to not separate non-lease components from lease components, but instead account for such components as a single lease component for all leases except leases involving assets operated by a third-party. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in the initial recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities related to the Company's leasing arrangements totaling approximately $60 million on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 had no impact on opening retained earnings on January 1, 2019 and is not expected to materially impact consolidated net income or cash flows on an ongoing basis. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (ASU 2017-12). ASU 2017-12 amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815, Derivatives and Hedging to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships and to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance. The ASU makes various updates to the hedge accounting model, including changing the recognition and presentation of changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument and amending disclosure requirements, among other things. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on its financial statements. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In July 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 changes how to recognize expected credit losses on financial assets. The standard requires a more timely recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial assets and also provides additional transparency about credit risk. The current credit loss standard generally requires that a loss actually be incurred before it is recognized, while the new standard will require recognition of full lifetime expected losses upon initial recognition of the financial instrument. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2016-13 for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. Adoption of this standard will impact how the Company recognizes credit losses on its financial instruments. An entity will apply the standard by recording a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption. The Company is continuing its implementation plan which includes model development, documentation and validation as well as the evaluation of associated processes, data sources, internal controls and policies. The Company anticipates that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will result in an initial increase in the allowance for credit losses, with a decrease in retained earnings. The initial change in the allowance for credit losses at adoption and the ongoing effect of ASU 2016-13 on the provision for credit losses will be impacted by the size and composition of the Company's finance receivables portfolio at each reporting period, as well as other items including economic conditions and forecasts at that time. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. Rather, the goodwill impairment is calculated by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, and an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, limited to the total goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. All reporting units apply the same impairment test under the new standard. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2017-04 for its annual and any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 on a prospective basis. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13). ASU 2018-13 amends ASC 820 to eliminate, modify, and add certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any period, for either the whole standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. The amendments are required to be applied retrospectively, with the exception of a few disclosure additions, which are to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2018-13, but does not believe that it will have a significant impact on its disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) (ASU 2018-15). The new guidance requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the existing internal-use software guidance to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2018-15 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring Expenses	Restructuring Expenses In January 2018, the Company initiated a plan to further improve its manufacturing operations and cost structure by commencing a multi-year manufacturing optimization plan which included the consolidation of its motorcycle assembly plant in Kansas City, Missouri, into its plant in York, Pennsylvania, and the closure of its wheel operations in Adelaide, Australia (Manufacturing Optimization Plan). The consolidation of operations included the elimination of approximately 800 jobs at the Kansas City facility and the addition of approximately 450 jobs at the York facility through 2019. The Adelaide facility closure included the elimination of approximately 90 jobs. Through September 29, 2019 , the Motorcycles segment incurred $144.5 million of restructuring expenses and other consolidation costs under the Manufacturing Optimization Plan since its inception in 2018. The Company's estimated range for cumulative restructuring expenses and other consolidation costs is $142 million to $152 million under the Manufacturing Optimization Plan through 2019, of which approximately 70% are expected to be cash charges. The estimate includes $119 million to $124 million of restructuring expense and $23 million to $28 million of costs related to temporary inefficiencies. The Company expects restructuring expenses to include the cost of employee termination benefits, accelerated depreciation, and other project implementation costs of $38 million to $40 million, $48 million to $49 million, and $33 million to $35 million, respectively. In November 2018, the Company implemented a reorganization of its workforce (Reorganization Plan). As a result, approximately 70 employees left the Company on an involuntary basis. Restructuring expense related to these plans is presented as a line item in the Consolidated statements of income and the accrued restructuring liability is recorded in Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets .

The Company has a share-based compensation plan under which employees may be granted share-based awards including restricted stock units (RSUs). Non-forfeitable dividend equivalents are paid on unvested RSUs. As such, RSUs are considered participating securities under the two-class method of calculating earnings per share as described in ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. The two-class method of calculating earnings per share did not have a material impact on the Company’s earnings per share calculations for the three and nine month periods ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018 .

Receivables [Abstract]
Finance Receivables	Finance Receivables The Company provides retail financial services to customers of the Company’s independent dealers in the U.S. and Canada. The origination of retail loans is a separate and distinct transaction between the Company and the retail customer, unrelated to the Company’s sale of product to its dealers. Retail finance receivables consist of secured promissory notes and secured installment sales contracts and are primarily related to sales of motorcycles to the dealers' customers. The Company holds either titles or liens on titles to vehicles financed by promissory notes and installment sales contracts. The Company offers wholesale financing to the Company’s independent dealers. Wholesale loans to dealers are generally secured by financed inventory or property and are originated in the U.S. and Canada. Wholesale finance receivables are related primarily to the sale of motorcycles and related parts and accessories to dealers. Finance receivables, net, consisted of the following (in thousands): September 29, December 31, September 30, Retail finance receivables $ 6,642,809 $ 6,328,201 $ 6,508,670 Wholesale finance receivables 1,071,347 1,083,615 988,339 7,714,156 7,411,816 7,497,009 Allowance for credit losses (198,576 ) (189,885 ) (193,447 ) $ 7,515,580 $ 7,221,931 $ 7,303,562 A provision for credit losses on finance receivables is charged or credited to earnings in amounts that the Company believes are sufficient to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level that is adequate to cover losses inherent in the existing portfolio. The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the finance receivable portfolio as of the balance sheet date. However, due to the use of projections and assumptions in estimating the losses, the amount of losses actually incurred by the Company could differ from the amounts estimated. Changes in the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables by portfolio were as follows (in thousands): Three months ended September 29, 2019 Retail Wholesale Total Balance, beginning of period $ 186,722 $ 8,274 $ 194,996 Provision for credit losses 35,071 (1,324 ) 33,747 Charge-offs (41,076 ) — (41,076 ) Recoveries 10,909 — 10,909 Balance, end of period $ 191,626 $ 6,950 $ 198,576 Three months ended September 30, 2018 Retail Wholesale Total Balance, beginning of period $ 187,502 $ 6,428 $ 193,930 Provision for credit losses 23,629 (99 ) 23,530 Charge-offs (33,689 ) (8 ) (33,697 ) Recoveries 9,684 — 9,684 Balance, end of period $ 187,126 $ 6,321 $ 193,447 Nine months ended September 29, 2019 Retail Wholesale Total Balance, beginning of period $ 182,098 $ 7,787 $ 189,885 Provision for credit losses 95,458 (837 ) 94,621 Charge-offs (121,538 ) — (121,538 ) Recoveries 35,608 — 35,608 Balance, end of period $ 191,626 $ 6,950 $ 198,576 Nine months ended September 30, 2018 Retail Wholesale Total Balance, beginning of period $ 186,254 $ 6,217 $ 192,471 Provision for credit losses 72,350 112 72,462 Charge-offs (107,717 ) (8 ) (107,725 ) Recoveries 36,239 — 36,239 Balance, end of period $ 187,126 $ 6,321 $ 193,447 Finance receivables are considered impaired when management determines it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the loan agreement. Portions of the allowance for credit losses are established to cover estimated losses on finance receivables specifically identified for impairment. The unspecified portion of the allowance for credit losses covers estimated losses on finance receivables which are collectively reviewed for impairment. The retail portfolio primarily consists of a large number of small balance, homogeneous finance receivables. The Company performs a periodic and systematic collective evaluation of the adequacy of the retail allowance for credit losses. The Company utilizes loss forecast models which consider a variety of factors including, but not limited to, historical loss trends, origination or vintage analysis, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, the value of the underlying collateral, recovery rates, and current economic conditions including items such as unemployment rates. Retail finance receivables are not evaluated individually for impairment prior to charge-off and, therefore, are not reported as impaired loans. The wholesale portfolio is primarily composed of large balance, non-homogeneous loans. The Company’s evaluation for the wholesale allowance for credit losses is first based on a loan-by-loan review. A specific allowance for credit losses is established for wholesale finance receivables determined to be individually impaired when management concludes that the borrower will not be able to make full payment of the contractual amounts due based on the original terms of the loan agreement. The impairment is determined based on the cash that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the loan’s original interest rate or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral-dependent. Finance receivables in the wholesale portfolio that are not considered impaired on an individual basis are segregated, based on similar risk characteristics, according to the Company’s internal risk rating system and collectively evaluated for impairment. The related allowance for credit losses is based on factors such as the specific borrower’s financial performance and ability to repay, the Company’s past loan loss experience, current economic conditions, and the value of the underlying collateral. Generally, it is the Company’s policy not to change the terms and conditions of finance receivables. However, to minimize the economic loss, the Company may modify certain finance receivables in troubled debt restructurings. Total restructured finance receivables are not significant. The allowance for credit losses and finance receivables by portfolio, segregated by those amounts that are individually evaluated for impairment and those that are collectively evaluated for impairment, was as follows (in thousands): September 29, 2019 Retail Wholesale Total Allowance for credit losses, ending balance: Individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ — $ — Collectively evaluated for impairment 191,626 6,950 198,576 $ 191,626 $ 6,950 $ 198,576 Finance receivables, ending balance: Individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ — $ — Collectively evaluated for impairment 6,642,809 1,071,347 7,714,156 $ 6,642,809 $ 1,071,347 $ 7,714,156 December 31, 2018 Retail Wholesale Total Allowance for credit losses, ending balance: Individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ — $ — Collectively evaluated for impairment 182,098 7,787 189,885 $ 182,098 $ 7,787 $ 189,885 Finance receivables, ending balance: Individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ — $ — Collectively evaluated for impairment 6,328,201 1,083,615 7,411,816 $ 6,328,201 $ 1,083,615 $ 7,411,816 September 30, 2018 Retail Wholesale Total Allowance for credit losses, ending balance: Individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ — $ — Collectively evaluated for impairment 187,126 6,321 193,447 $ 187,126 $ 6,321 $ 193,447 Finance receivables, ending balance: Individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ — $ — Collectively evaluated for impairment 6,508,670 988,339 7,497,009 $ 6,508,670 $ 988,339 $ 7,497,009 Retail finance receivables are contractually delinquent if the minimum payment is not received by the specified due date. Retail finance receivables are generally charged-off when the receivable is 120 days or more delinquent, the related asset is repossessed, or the finance receivable is otherwise deemed uncollectible. All retail finance receivables accrue interest until either collected or charged-off. Accordingly, as of September 29, 2019 , December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 , all retail finance receivables were accounted for as interest-earning receivables, of which $35.6 million , $41.2 million and $31.6 million , respectively, were 90 days or more past due. Wholesale finance receivables are delinquent if the minimum payment is not received by the contractual due date. Wholesale finance receivables are written down once the Company determines that the specific borrower does not have the ability to repay the loan in full. Interest continues to accrue on past due finance receivables until the date the finance receivable becomes uncollectible and the finance receivable is placed on non-accrual status. The Company will resume accruing interest on these accounts when payments are current according to the terms of the loans and future payments are reasonably assured. While on non-accrual status, all cash received is applied to principal or interest as appropriate. There were no wholesale receivables on non-accrual status at September 29, 2019 , December 31, 2018 or September 30, 2018 . At September 29, 2019 , December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 , $2.0 million , $1.1 million , and $0.2 million of wholesale finance receivables were 90 days or more past due and accruing interest, respectively.

As the credit risk varies between the retail and wholesale portfolios, the Company utilizes different credit risk indicators for each portfolio. The Company manages retail credit risk through its credit approval policy and ongoing collection efforts. The Company uses FICO scores, a standard credit rating measurement, to differentiate the expected default rates of retail credit applicants, enabling the Company to better evaluate credit applicants for approval and to tailor pricing according to this assessment. Retail loans with a FICO score of 640 or above at origination are generally considered prime, and loans with a FICO score below 640 are generally considered sub-prime. These credit quality indicators are determined at the time of loan origination and are not updated subsequent to the loan origination date. The recorded investment in retail finance receivables, by credit quality indicator, was as follows (in thousands): September 29, December 31, September 30, Prime $ 5,454,920 $ 5,183,754 $ 5,321,464 Sub-prime 1,187,889 1,144,447 1,187,206 $ 6,642,809 $ 6,328,201 $ 6,508,670 The Company's credit risk on the wholesale portfolio is different from that of the retail portfolio. Whereas the retail portfolio represents a relatively homogeneous pool of retail finance receivables that exhibit more consistent loss patterns, the wholesale portfolio exposures are less consistent. The Company utilizes an internal credit risk rating system to manage credit risk exposure consistently across wholesale borrowers and individually evaluates credit risk factors for each borrower. The Company uses the following internal credit quality indicators, based on an internal risk rating system, listed from highest level of risk to lowest level of risk for the wholesale portfolio: Doubtful, Substandard, Special Mention, Medium Risk and Low Risk. Based upon the Company’s review, the dealers classified in the Doubtful category are the dealers with the greatest likelihood of being charged-off, while the dealers classified as Low Risk are least likely to be charged-off. The internal rating system considers factors such as the specific borrower's ability to repay and the estimated value of any collateral. Dealer risk rating classifications are reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company is exposed to risks from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. To reduce its exposure to such risks, the Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments. All derivative transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to regularly reviewed policies and procedures which prohibit the use of financial instruments for speculative trading purposes. The Company sells products in foreign currencies and utilizes foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to the Euro, Australian dollar, Japanese yen, Brazilian real, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Indian rupee, and Pound sterling. The foreign currency exchange contracts generally have maturities of less than one year. The Company utilizes commodity contracts to mitigate the effects of commodity price fluctuations related to metals and fuel consumed in the Company’s motorcycle production and distribution processes. The commodity contracts generally have maturities of less than one year. The Company periodically utilizes treasury rate lock contracts to fix the interest rate on a portion of the principal related to the anticipated issuance of long-term debt as well as interest rate swaps to reduce the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on floating rate medium-term notes. The Company also utilizes interest rate caps to facilitate certain asset-backed securitization transactions. All derivative instruments are recognized on the Consolidated balance sheets at fair value. In accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, further, on the type of hedging relationship. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges are initially recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects income. The Company assesses, both at the inception of each hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative instruments that are used in cash flow hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items. No component of a hedging derivative instrument’s gain or loss is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Derivative instruments not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to foreign currency, commodity risks, and interest rate risks. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings. The following tables summarize the notional and recorded fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments (in thousands): Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging September 29, 2019 December 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 Notional Value Other Current Assets Accrued Liabil-ities Notional Value Other Current Assets Accrued Liabil-ities Notional Value Other Current Assets Accrued Liabil-ities Foreign currency contracts $ 441,131 $ 11,459 $ 790 $ 442,976 $ 15,071 $ 313 $ 512,071 $ 11,687 $ 718 Commodity contracts 744 — 56 827 — 46 925 9 — Treasury rate locks — — — — — — 50,000 52 — Interest rate swaps 900,000 — 11,164 900,000 — 4,494 450,000 550 — $ 1,341,875 $ 11,459 $ 12,010 $ 1,343,803 $ 15,071 $ 4,853 $ 1,012,996 $ 12,298 $ 718 Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging September 29, 2019 December 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 Notional Value Other Current Assets Accrued Liabil-ities Notional Value Other Current Assets Accrued Liabil-ities Notional Value Other Current Assets Accrued Liabil-ities Foreign currency contracts $ 193,959 $ 278 $ 219 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Commodity contracts 9,485 230 360 5,239 — 463 5,207 233 213 Interest rate cap 427,530 4 — — — — — — — $ 630,974 $ 512 $ 579 $ 5,239 $ — $ 463 $ 5,207 $ 233 $ 213 The following tables summarize the amounts of gains and losses related to derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges (in thousands): Amount of Gain/(Loss) Recognized in OCI Amount of Gain/(Loss) Reclassified from AOCL Location of Gain/(Loss) Reclassified from AOCL Amounts shown on the Consolidated Statements of Income Three months ended Consolidated Statements of Income line item Three months ended September 29, September 30, September 29, September 30, September 29, September 30, Foreign currency contracts $ 13,135 $ 4,508 $ 5,826 $ 5,695 Motorcycles cost of goods sold $ 748,878 $ 776,530 Commodity contracts (15 ) 5 (28 ) — Motorcycles cost of goods sold $ 748,878 $ 776,530 Treasury rate locks — — (91 ) (90 ) Interest expense $ 7,789 $ 7,762 Treasury rate locks — 52 (33 ) (33 ) Financial Services interest expense $ 53,390 $ 44,696 Interest rate swaps (708 ) 486 (1,463 ) (661 ) Financial Services interest expense $ 53,390 $ 44,696 $ 12,412 $ 5,051 $ 4,211 $ 4,911 Amount of Gain/(Loss) Recognized in OCI Amount of Gain/(Loss) Reclassified from AOCL Location of Gain/(Loss) Reclassified from AOCL Amounts shown on the Consolidated Statements of Income Nine months ended Consolidated Statements of Income line item Nine months ended September 29, September 30, September 29, September 30, September 29, September 30, Foreign currency contracts $ 14,422 $ 31,253 $ 15,947 $ (58 ) Motorcycles cost of goods sold $ 2,576,342 $ 2,659,740 Commodity contracts (55 ) (7 ) (45 ) (85 ) Motorcycles cost of goods sold $ 2,576,342 $ 2,659,740 Treasury rate locks — — (272 ) (271 ) Interest expense $ 23,304 $ 23,180 Treasury rate locks — 93 (97 ) (103 ) Financial Services interest expense $ 158,387 $ 145,089 Interest rate swaps (9,569 ) (400 ) (2,899 ) (950 ) Financial Services Interest expense $ 158,387 $ 145,089 $ 4,798 $ 30,939 $ 12,634 $ (1,467 ) As of September 29, 2019 , the Company estimates a $4.4 million net gain currently recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) will be reclassified into income over the next twelve months. The following table summarizes the amount of gains and losses recognized in income related to derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments (in thousands).

Although no assurances can be given, the Company does not expect any of the counterparties to these derivative financial instruments to fail to meet its obligations. To manage credit loss risk, the Company evaluates counterparties based on credit ratings and, on a quarterly basis, evaluates each hedge’s net position relative to the counterparty’s ability to cover its position.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. Right-of-use (ROU) assets related to leases are recorded in Lease assets and lease liabilities are recorded in Accrued liabilities and Lease liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets . ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. The ROU asset also includes prepaid lease payments and initial direct costs and is reduced for lease incentives paid by the lessor. The discount rate used to determine the present value is generally the Company's incremental borrowing rate because the implicit rate in the lease is not readily determinable. The lease term used to calculate the ROU asset and lease liabilities includes periods covered by options to extend or terminate when the Company is reasonably certain the lease term will include these optional periods. The Company has lease arrangements for sales and administrative offices, manufacturing and distribution facilities, product testing facilities, equipment and vehicles. All of the Company’s lease arrangements are accounted for as operating leases. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 to 13 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for periods generally not greater than 5 years and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased asset. Leases do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Operating lease expense for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019 was $7.4 million and $20.1 million , respectively. This includes variable lease costs related to leases involving assets operated by a third-party of approximately $1.6 million and $4.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019 , respectively. Other variable and short-term lease costs were not material. Balance sheet information related to the Company's leases was as follows (in thousands): September 29, Lease assets $ 55,905 Accrued liabilities $ 18,421 Lease liabilities 39,408 $ 57,829 Future maturities of the Company's lease liabilities as of September 29, 2019 were as follows (in thousands): Operating Leases 2019 $ 5,421 2020 18,781 2021 15,743 2022 10,507 2023 4,396 Thereafter 6,649 Future lease payments 61,497 Less present value discount 3,668 Lease liability $ 57,829 Other lease information was as follows (dollars in thousands): Three months ended Nine months ended September 29, 2019 September 29, 2019 Operating cash outflows for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities $ 6,073 $ 15,944 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations $ 6,724 $ 10,986 September 29, Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years) 4.23 Weighted-average discount rate 3.3 %

Asset-Backed Financing

Asset-Backed Financing	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 29, 2019
Transfers and Servicing [Abstract]
Asset-Backed Financing	Asset-Backed Financing The Company participates in asset-backed financing both through asset-backed securitization transactions and through asset-backed commercial paper conduit facilities. In the Company's asset-backed financing programs, the Company transfers retail motorcycle finance receivables to special purpose entities (SPEs), which are considered VIEs under U.S. GAAP. Each SPE then converts those assets into cash, through the issuance of debt. The Company retains servicing rights for all of the retail motorcycle finance receivables transferred to SPEs as part of an asset-backed financing. The accounting treatment for asset-backed financings depends on the terms of the related transaction and the Company’s continuing involvement with the VIE. In transactions where the Company has power over the significant activities of the VIE and has an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are potentially significant to the VIE, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and consolidates the VIE within its consolidated financial statements. On a consolidated basis, the asset-backed financing is treated as a secured borrowing in this type of transaction and is referred to as an on-balance sheet asset-backed financing. In transactions where the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the Company must determine whether it can achieve a sale for accounting purposes under ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. To achieve a sale for accounting purposes, the assets being transferred must be legally isolated, not be constrained by restrictions from further transfer, and be deemed to be beyond the Company’s control. If the Company does not meet all of these criteria for sale accounting, then the transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing and is referred to as an on-balance sheet asset-backed financing. If the Company meets all three of the sale criteria above, the transaction is recorded as a sale for accounting purposes and is referred to as an off-balance sheet asset-backed financing. Upon sale, the retail motorcycle finance receivables are removed from the Company’s Consolidated balance sheets and a gain or loss is recognized for the difference between the cash proceeds received, the assets derecognized, and the liabilities recognized as part of the transaction. The gain or loss on sale is included in Financial Services revenue in the Consolidated statements of income . The Company is not required, and does not currently intend, to provide any additional financial support to the on- or off-balance sheet VIEs associated with these transactions. Investors and creditors in these transactions only have recourse to the assets held by the VIEs. The following tables show the assets and liabilities related to the on-balance sheet asset-backed financings included in the Consolidated balance sheets (in thousands): September 29, 2019 Finance receivables Allowance for credit losses Restricted cash Other assets Total assets Asset-backed debt On-balance sheet assets and liabilities: Consolidated VIEs: Asset-backed securitizations $ 929,773 $ (27,517 ) $ 45,096 $ 469 $ 947,821 $ 872,871 Asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduit facilities 599,099 (17,701 ) 33,238 1,149 615,785 552,757 Unconsolidated VIEs: Asset-backed Canadian commercial paper conduit facility 242,244 (3,182 ) 8,408 258 247,728 128,368 $ 1,771,116 $ (48,400 ) $ 86,742 $ 1,876 $ 1,811,334 $ 1,553,996 December 31, 2018 Finance receivables Allowance for credit losses Restricted cash Other assets Total assets Asset-backed debt On-balance sheet assets and liabilities: Consolidated VIEs: Asset-backed securitizations $ 158,718 $ (4,691 ) $ 17,191 $ 329 $ 171,547 $ 95,167 Asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduit facilities 631,588 (18,733 ) 30,012 1,234 644,101 582,717 Unconsolidated VIEs: Asset-backed Canadian commercial paper conduit facility 181,774 (3,130 ) 8,779 343 187,766 155,951 $ 972,080 $ (26,554 ) $ 55,982 $ 1,906 $ 1,003,414 $ 833,835 September 30, 2018 Finance receivables Allowance for credit losses Restricted cash Other assets Total assets Asset-backed debt On-balance sheet assets and liabilities: Consolidated VIEs: Asset-backed securitizations $ 190,461 $ (5,634 ) $ 18,508 $ 437 $ 203,772 $ 128,474 Asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduit facilities 282,986 (8,393 ) 15,218 971 290,782 265,044 Unconsolidated VIEs: Asset-backed Canadian commercial paper conduit facility 173,395 (3,115 ) 9,293 324 179,897 149,418 $ 646,842 $ (17,142 ) $ 43,019 $ 1,732 $ 674,451 $ 542,936 On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Securitization VIEs The Company transfers U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to SPEs which in turn issue secured notes to investors, with various maturities and interest rates, secured by future collections of the purchased U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables. Each on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization SPE is a separate legal entity, and the U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables included in the asset-backed securitizations are only available for payment of the secured debt and other obligations arising from the asset-backed securitization transaction and are not available to pay other obligations or claims of the Company’s creditors until the associated secured debt and other obligations are satisfied. Restricted cash balances held by the SPEs are used only to support the securitizations. There are no amortization schedules for the secured notes; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables are applied to outstanding principal. The secured notes have various contractual maturities ranging from 2020 to 2026. The Company is the primary beneficiary of its on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization VIEs because it retains servicing rights and a residual interest in the VIEs in the form of a debt security. As the servicer, the Company is the variable interest holder with the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. As a residual interest holder, the Company has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits which could potentially be significant to the VIE. There were no on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization transactions during the third quarter of 2019. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company issued $500.0 million and $525.0 million , or $498.7 million and $522.6 million net of discounts and issuance costs, respectively, of secured notes through on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization transactions. There were no on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization transactions during the first quarter of 2019 or the nine months ended September 30, 2018. On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed U.S. Commercial Paper Conduit Facilities VIE The Company has two separate agreements with third-party bank-sponsored asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduits under which it may transfer U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to an SPE, which in turn may issue debt to those third-party bank-sponsored asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduits. In November 2018, the Company renewed its existing $600.0 million revolving facility agreement with third-party bank-sponsored asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduits. Also at that time, the Company amended its existing $300.0 million revolving facility agreement with third-party bank-sponsored asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduits, increasing the aggregate commitment to $600.0 million . The aggregate commitment under this agreement is reduced monthly as collections on the related finance receivables are applied to the outstanding principal until the outstanding principal balance is less than or equal to $300.0 million , at which point the aggregate commitment will equal $300.0 million . In May 2019, the Company further amended this revolving facility agreement to allow for incremental borrowings, at the lenders' discretion, of up to an additional $300.0 million in excess of the $300.0 million commitment. Availability under the revolving facilities (together, the U.S. Conduit Facilities) is based on, among other things, the amount of eligible U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables held by the SPE as collateral. Under the U.S. Conduit Facilities, the assets of the SPE are restricted as collateral for the payment of the debt or other obligations arising in the transaction and are not available to pay other obligations or claims of the Company’s creditors. The terms for this debt provide for interest on the outstanding principal based on prevailing commercial paper rates or LIBOR to the extent the advance is not funded by a conduit lender through the issuance of commercial paper plus, in each case, a program fee based on outstanding principal. The U.S. Conduit Facilities also provide for an unused commitment fee based on the unused portion of the total aggregate commitment. There is no amortization schedule; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related finance receivables are applied to outstanding principal. Upon expiration of the U.S. Conduit Facilities, any outstanding principal will continue to be reduced monthly through available collections. The expected remaining term of the related receivables held by the SPE is approximately 5 years . Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement of the Company and the lenders, as of September 29, 2019 , the U.S. Conduit Facilities have an expiration date of November 29, 2019 . The Company is the primary beneficiary of its U.S. Conduit Facilities VIE because it retains servicing rights and a residual interest in the VIE in the form of a debt security. As the servicer, the Company is the variable interest holder with the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. As a residual interest holder, the Company has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits which could potentially be significant to the VIE. The following table includes quarterly transfers of U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to the U.S. Conduit Facilities and the respective proceeds (in thousands): 2019 2018 Transfers Proceeds Transfers Proceeds First quarter $ — $ — $ 32,900 $ 29,300 Second quarter — — 59,100 53,300 Third quarter 174,400 154,600 — — $ 174,400 $ 154,600 $ 92,000 $ 82,600 On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Canadian Commercial Paper Conduit Facility In June 2019, the Company renewed its facility agreement (Canadian Conduit) with a Canadian bank-sponsored asset-backed commercial paper conduit. Under the agreement, the Canadian Conduit is contractually committed, at the Company's option, to purchase eligible Canadian retail motorcycle finance receivables for proceeds up to C$220.0 million . The transferred assets are restricted as collateral for the payment of the debt. The terms for this debt provide for interest on the outstanding principal based on prevailing market interest rates plus a specified margin. The Canadian Conduit also provides for a program fee and an unused commitment fee based on the unused portion of the total aggregate commitment of C$220.0 million . There is no amortization schedule; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related finance receivables are applied to outstanding principal. Upon expiration of the Canadian Conduit, any outstanding principal will continue to be reduced monthly through available collections. The expected remaining term of the related receivables is approximately 5 years . Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement between the Company and the lenders, as of September 29, 2019 , the Canadian Conduit has an expiration date of June 26, 2020 . The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the Canadian bank-sponsored, multi-seller conduit VIE; therefore, the Company does not consolidate the VIE. However, the Company treats the conduit facility as a secured borrowing as it maintains effective control over the assets transferred to the VIE and, therefore, does not meet the requirements for sale accounting. As the Company participates in and does not consolidate the Canadian bank-sponsored, multi-seller conduit VIE, the maximum exposure to loss associated with this VIE, which would only be incurred in the unlikely event that all the finance receivables and underlying collateral have no residual value, was $119.4 million at September 29, 2019 . The maximum exposure is not an indication of the Company's expected loss exposure. The following table includes quarterly transfers of Canadian retail motorcycle finance receivables to the Canadian Conduit and the respective proceeds (in thousands): 2019 2018 Transfers Proceeds Transfers Proceeds First quarter $ — $ — $ 7,600 $ 6,200 Second quarter 28,200 23,400 38,900 32,200 Third quarter — — — — $ 28,200 $ 23,400 $ 46,500 $ 38,400 Off-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Securitization VIE There were no off-balance sheet asset-backed securitization transactions during the nine months ended September 29, 2019 or September 30, 2018. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company sold retail motorcycle finance receivables with a principal balance of $301.8 million into a securitization VIE that was not consolidated, recognized a gain of $9.3 million and received cash proceeds of $312.6 million . Similar to an on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization, the Company transferred U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to an SPE which in turn issued secured notes to investors, with various maturities and interest rates, secured by future collections of the purchased U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables. The off-balance sheet asset-backed securitization SPE is a separate legal entity, and the U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables included in the asset-backed securitization are only available for payment of the secured debt and other obligations arising from the asset-backed securitization transaction and are not available to pay other obligations or claims of the Company’s creditors. In an on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization, the Company retains a financial interest in the VIE in the form of a debt security. As part of this off-balance sheet securitization, the Company did not retain any financial interest in the VIE beyond servicing rights and ordinary representations and warranties and related covenants. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the off-balance sheet asset-backed securitization VIE because it only retained servicing rights and does not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE which could potentially be significant to the VIE. Accordingly, this transaction met the accounting sale requirements under ASC Topic 860 and was recorded as a sale for accounting purposes. Upon the sale, the retail motorcycle finance receivables were removed from the Company’s Consolidated balance sheets and a gain was recognized for the difference between the cash proceeds received, the assets derecognized and the liabilities recognized as part of the transaction. The gain on sale was included in Financial Services revenue in the Consolidated statements of income . At September 29, 2019 , the assets of this off-balance sheet asset-backed securitization VIE were $43.9 million and represented the current unpaid principal balance of the retail motorcycle finance receivables, which was the Company’s maximum exposure to loss in the off-balance sheet VIE at September 29, 2019 . This is based on the unlikely event that all the receivables have underwriting defects or other defects that trigger a violation of certain covenants and that the underlying collateral has no residual value. This maximum exposure is not an indication of expected losses. Servicing Activities The Company services all retail motorcycle finance receivables that it originates. When the Company transfers retail motorcycle finance receivables to SPEs through asset-backed financings, the Company retains the right to service the finance receivables and receives servicing fees based on the securitized finance receivables balance and certain ancillary fees. In on-balance sheet asset-backed financings, servicing fees are eliminated in consolidation and therefore are not recorded on a consolidated basis. In off-balance sheet asset-backed financings, servicing fees and ancillary fees are recorded in Financial Services revenue in the Consolidated statements of income . The fees the Company is paid for servicing represent adequate compensation, and consequently, the Company does not recognize a servicing asset or liability. The Company recognized servicing fee income of $0.5 million and $0.9 million during the nine months ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. The unpaid principal balance of retail motorcycle finance receivables serviced by the Company was as follows (in thousands): September 29, December 31, September 30, On-balance sheet serviced retail motorcycle finance receivables $ 6,500,938 $ 6,185,350 $ 6,360,907 Off-balance sheet serviced retail motorcycle finance receivables 43,938 79,613 93,147 $ 6,544,876 $ 6,264,963 $ 6,454,054 The unpaid principal balance of retail motorcycle finance receivables serviced by the Company 30 days or more delinquent was as follows (in thousands): September 29, December 31, September 30, On-balance sheet serviced retail motorcycle finance receivables $ 217,712 $ 228,015 $ 204,574 Off-balance sheet serviced retail motorcycle finance receivables 954 1,658 1,767 $ 218,666 $ 229,673 $ 206,341 Credit losses, net of recoveries for the retail motorcycle finance receivables serviced by the Company were as follows (in thousands): Three months ended Nine months ended September 29, September 30, September 29, September 30, On-balance sheet serviced retail motorcycle finance receivables $ 30,167 $ 24,005 $ 85,930 $ 71,478 Off-balance sheet serviced retail motorcycle finance receivables (18 ) 230 375 729 $ 30,149 $ 24,235 $ 86,305 $ 72,207

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	Fair Value The Company assesses the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy. Level 1 inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and yield curves. The Company uses the market approach to derive the fair value for its Level 2 fair value measurements. Foreign currency contracts, commodity contracts and treasury rate locks are valued using quoted forward rates and prices; interest rate swaps and caps are valued using quoted interest rates and yield curves; investments in marketable debt securities and cash equivalents are valued using quoted prices. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include the Company's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): September 29, 2019 Balance Level 1 Level 2 Assets: Cash equivalents $ 624,789 $ 496,900 $ 127,889 Marketable securities 49,821 49,821 — Derivatives instruments 11,971 — 11,971 $ 686,581 $ 546,721 $ 139,860 Liabilities: Derivatives instruments $ 12,589 $ — $ 12,589 December 31, 2018 Balance Level 1 Level 2 Assets: Cash equivalents $ 998,601 $ 728,800 $ 269,801 Marketable securities 54,250 44,243 10,007 Derivatives instruments 15,071 — 15,071 $ 1,067,922 $ 773,043 $ 294,879 Liabilities: Derivatives instruments $ 5,316 $ — $ 5,316 September 30, 2018 Balance Level 1 Level 2 Assets: Cash equivalents $ 687,956 $ 446,300 $ 241,656 Marketable securities 59,843 49,832 10,011 Derivatives instruments 12,531 — 12,531 $ 760,330 $ 496,132 $ 264,198 Liabilities: Derivatives instruments $ 931 $ — $ 931 Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements Repossessed inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value through a nonrecurring fair value measurement. Repossessed inventory was $19.4 million , $20.2 million and $19.5 million at September 29, 2019 , December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 , respectively, for which the fair value adjustment was $8.8 million , $9.7 million and $6.7 million , respectively. Fair value is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on the recent market values of repossessed inventory. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Measured at Cost The carrying value of the Company's Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash approximates their fair values. The following table summarizes the fair value and carrying value of the Company’s remaining financial instruments that are measured at cost or amortized cost (in thousands): September 29, 2019 December 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Assets: Finance receivables, net $ 7,561,797 $ 7,515,580 $ 7,304,334 $ 7,221,931 $ 7,394,684 $ 7,303,562 Liabilities: Unsecured commercial paper $ 1,013,137 $ 1,013,137 $ 1,135,810 $ 1,135,810 $ 1,373,859 $ 1,373,859 Asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduit facilities $ 552,757 $ 552,757 $ 582,717 $ 582,717 $ 265,044 $ 265,044 Asset-backed Canadian commercial paper conduit facility $ 128,368 $ 128,368 $ 155,951 $ 155,951 $ 149,418 $ 149,418 Medium-term notes $ 4,138,941 $ 4,089,591 $ 4,829,671 $ 4,887,007 $ 4,386,030 $ 4,437,279 Senior unsecured notes $ 773,434 $ 743,127 $ 707,198 $ 742,624 $ 707,252 $ 742,458 Asset-backed securitization debt $ 877,423 $ 872,871 $ 94,974 $ 95,167 $ 127,906 $ 128,474 Finance Receivables, Net – The carrying value of retail and wholesale finance receivables is amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses. The fair value of retail finance receivables is generally calculated by discounting future cash flows using an estimated discount rate that reflects current credit, interest rate and prepayment risks associated with similar types of instruments. Fair value is determined based on Level 3 inputs. The amortized cost basis of wholesale finance receivables approximates fair value because they either are short-term or have interest rates that adjust with changes in market interest rates. Debt – The carrying value of debt is generally amortized cost, net of discounts and debt issuance costs. The fair value of unsecured commercial paper is calculated using Level 2 inputs and approximates carrying value due to its short maturity. The fair value of debt provided under the U.S. Conduit Facilities and Canadian Conduit Facility is calculated using Level 2 inputs and approximates carrying value since the interest rates charged under the facility are tied directly to market rates and fluctuate as market rates change. The fair values of the medium-term notes and senior unsecured notes are estimated based upon rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities (Level 2 inputs). The fair value of the debt related to on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization transactions is estimated based on pricing currently available for transactions with similar terms and maturities (Level 2 inputs).

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The Company is subject to lawsuits and other claims related to environmental, product and other matters. In determining costs to accrue related to these items, the Company carefully analyzes cases and considers the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as the potential range of possible loss. Any amounts accrued for these matters are monitored on an ongoing basis and are updated based on new developments or new information as it becomes available for each matter. Environmental Protection Agency Notice In December 2009, the Company received formal, written requests for information from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding: (i) certificates of conformity for motorcycle emissions and related designations and labels, (ii) aftermarket parts, and (iii) warranty claims on emissions related components. The Company promptly submitted written responses to the EPA’s inquiry and has engaged in information exchanges and discussions with the EPA. In August 2016, the Company entered into a consent decree with the EPA regarding these issues, and the consent decree was subsequently revised in July 2017 (the Settlement). In the Settlement, the Company agreed to, among other things, pay a fine, and not sell tuning products unless they are approved by the EPA or California Air Resources Board. In December 2017, the Department of Justice (DOJ), on behalf of the EPA, filed the Settlement with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for the purpose of obtaining court approval of the Settlement. Three amicus briefs opposing portions of the Settlement were filed with the court by the deadline of January 31, 2018. On March 1, 2018, the Company and the DOJ each filed separate response briefs. The Company is awaiting the court's decision on whether or not to finalize the Settlement, and on February 8, 2019 the DOJ filed a status update reminding the court of the current status of the outstanding matter. The Company has an accrual associated with this matter recorded in Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets , and as a result, if it is finalized, the Settlement would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. The Settlement is not final until it is approved by the court, and if it is not approved by the court, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact of any remedies the EPA might seek beyond the Company's current reserve for this matter. York Environmental Matter The Company is involved with government agencies and groups of potentially responsible parties related to a matter involving the cleanup of soil and groundwater contamination at its York, Pennsylvania facility. The York facility was formerly used by the U.S. Navy and AMF prior to the purchase of the York facility by the Company from AMF in 1981. The Company has an agreement with the Navy which calls for the Navy and the Company to contribute amounts into a trust equal to 53% and 47% , respectively, of costs associated with environmental investigation and remediation activities at the York facility (Response Costs). A site wide remedial investigation/feasibility study at the York facility has been completed and approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the EPA. The Company has an accrual for its share of the estimated future Response Costs recorded in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets . Product Liability Matters The Company is involved in product liability suits related to the operation of its business. The Company accrues for claim exposures that are probable of occurrence and can be reasonably estimated. The Company also maintains insurance coverage for product liability exposures. The Company believes that its accruals and insurance coverage are adequate and that product liability suits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements	Accounting Standards Recently Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 amends the lease accounting model by requiring a lessee to recognize the rights and obligations resulting from certain leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 also requires a company to disclose key information about their leasing arrangements. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. Pursuant to ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, the Company applied the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance sheet on January 1, 2019. The Company elected the package of practical expedients upon transition that allows entities not to reassess lease identification, classification and initial direct costs for leases that existed prior to adoption. The Company also elected the short-term lease practical expedient that allows entities to recognize lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The Company has elected the practical expedient allowing entities to not separate non-lease components from lease components, but instead account for such components as a single lease component for all leases except leases involving assets operated by a third-party. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in the initial recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities related to the Company's leasing arrangements totaling approximately $60 million on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 had no impact on opening retained earnings on January 1, 2019 and is not expected to materially impact consolidated net income or cash flows on an ongoing basis. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (ASU 2017-12). ASU 2017-12 amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815, Derivatives and Hedging to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships and to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance. The ASU makes various updates to the hedge accounting model, including changing the recognition and presentation of changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument and amending disclosure requirements, among other things. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on its financial statements. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In July 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 changes how to recognize expected credit losses on financial assets. The standard requires a more timely recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial assets and also provides additional transparency about credit risk. The current credit loss standard generally requires that a loss actually be incurred before it is recognized, while the new standard will require recognition of full lifetime expected losses upon initial recognition of the financial instrument. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2016-13 for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. Adoption of this standard will impact how the Company recognizes credit losses on its financial instruments. An entity will apply the standard by recording a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption. The Company is continuing its implementation plan which includes model development, documentation and validation as well as the evaluation of associated processes, data sources, internal controls and policies. The Company anticipates that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will result in an initial increase in the allowance for credit losses, with a decrease in retained earnings. The initial change in the allowance for credit losses at adoption and the ongoing effect of ASU 2016-13 on the provision for credit losses will be impacted by the size and composition of the Company's finance receivables portfolio at each reporting period, as well as other items including economic conditions and forecasts at that time. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. Rather, the goodwill impairment is calculated by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, and an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, limited to the total goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. All reporting units apply the same impairment test under the new standard. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2017-04 for its annual and any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 on a prospective basis. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13). ASU 2018-13 amends ASC 820 to eliminate, modify, and add certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any period, for either the whole standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. The amendments are required to be applied retrospectively, with the exception of a few disclosure additions, which are to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2018-13, but does not believe that it will have a significant impact on its disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) (ASU 2018-15). The new guidance requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the existing internal-use software guidance to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2018-15 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
