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. We reclassified certain prior year amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. 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, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K Report”).

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Adoption of New Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-10, Government Assistance: Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update requiring entities to provide certain disclosures in annual period financial statements for those transactions with governments that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model via analogy to other applicable accounting standards. We are assessing the effect on our annual consolidated financial statement disclosures; however, adoption will not impact our consolidated balance sheets or income statements. We also adopted the following ASUs during 2022, none of which had a material impact to our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures: ASU Effective Date 2021-04 Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Warrants January 1, 2022 2021-05 Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments January 1, 2022 2021-08 Business Combinations: Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers January 1, 2022 Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. In March 2022, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that eliminates the troubled debt recognition and measurement guidance. The new standard requires that an entity apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance in ASC 310 to all loan modifications and/or receivable modifications. It also enhances disclosure requirements for certain refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and requires disclosure of current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination in the vintage disclosure. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. We are assessing the effect of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. All other ASUs issued but not yet adopted were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.

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 an increase related to revenue recognized in prior periods of $359 million and $211 million in the first quarter of 2021 and 2022, respectively. We had a balance of $4.3 billion of unearned revenue associated primarily with outstanding extended service contracts reported in Other liabilities and deferred revenue at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 . We expect to recognize approximately $1 billion of the unearned amount in the remainder of 2022, $1.2 billion in 2023, and $2.1 billion thereafter. We recognized $342 million and $365 million of unearned amounts as revenue during the first quarter of 2021 and 2022, respectively. Amounts paid to dealers to obtain extended service contracts are deferred and recorded as Other assets

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, March 31, Consumer Retail installment contracts, gross $ 69,148 $ 67,699 Finance leases, gross 7,318 7,079 Retail financing, gross 76,466 74,778 Unearned interest supplements (3,020) (2,796) Consumer finance receivables 73,446 71,982 Non-Consumer Dealer financing 11,278 11,638 Non-Consumer finance receivables 11,278 11,638 Total recorded investment $ 84,724 $ 83,620 Recorded investment in finance receivables $ 84,724 $ 83,620 Allowance for credit losses (925) (845) Total finance receivables, net $ 83,799 $ 82,775 Current portion $ 32,543 $ 32,775 Non-current portion 51,256 50,000 Total finance receivables, net $ 83,799 $ 82,775 Net finance receivables subject to fair value (a) $ 76,796 $ 76,005 Fair value (b) 77,648 75,229 __________ (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 first quarter of 2021 and 2022 was $90 million and $77 million, respectively, and is included in Ford Credit revenues on our consolidated income statements. At December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, accrued interest was $125 million and $122 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, 2021 and March 31, 2022, were consumer receivables of $39 billion and $38.3 billion, respectively, and non-consumer receivables of $12 billion and $11.9 billion, respectively, (including Automotive receivables sold to Ford Credit, which we report in Trade and other receivables) , 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) Credit Quality Consumer Portfolio. Credit quality ratings for consumer receivables are based on Ford Credit’s aging analysis. 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, 2021 was as follows (in millions): Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year Prior to 2017 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Total Percent Consumer 31 - 60 days past due $ 39 $ 52 $ 98 $ 120 $ 186 $ 91 $ 586 0.8 % 61 - 120 days past due 7 10 20 29 40 21 127 0.2 Greater than 120 days past due 10 6 6 9 11 1 43 — Total past due 56 68 124 158 237 113 756 1.0 Current 812 2,607 6,559 12,689 22,701 27,322 72,690 99.0 Total $ 868 $ 2,675 $ 6,683 $ 12,847 $ 22,938 $ 27,435 $ 73,446 100.0 % The credit quality analysis of consumer receivables at March 31, 2022 was as follows (in millions): Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year Prior to 2018 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Total Percent Consumer 31 - 60 days past due $ 76 $ 84 $ 116 $ 192 $ 123 $ 9 $ 600 0.8 % 61 - 120 days past due 11 16 20 31 26 1 105 0.2 Greater than 120 days past due 15 6 8 13 1 — 43 — Total past due 102 106 144 236 150 10 748 1.0 Current 2,564 5,354 10,871 20,319 25,281 6,845 71,234 99.0 Total $ 2,666 $ 5,460 $ 11,015 $ 20,555 $ 25,431 $ 6,855 $ 71,982 100.0 % Non-Consumer Portfolio. The credit quality of dealer financing receivables is evaluated based on Ford Credit’s internal dealer risk rating analysis. 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. 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 March 31, 2022 was as follows (in millions): Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year Wholesale Loans Dealer Loans Prior to 2018 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Total Total Percent Group I $ 470 $ 155 $ 44 $ 78 $ 232 $ 111 $ 1,090 $ 7,096 $ 8,186 70.3 % Group II 12 26 1 5 13 42 99 2,845 2,944 25.3 Group III 8 — — — 5 11 24 423 447 3.9 Group IV — 5 — 1 2 2 10 51 61 0.5 Total (a) $ 490 $ 186 $ 45 $ 84 $ 252 $ 166 $ 1,223 $ 10,415 $ 11,638 100.0 % __________ (a) Total past due dealer financing receivables at March 31, 2022 were $13 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 Ford Credit grants a concession 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. 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. The adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is assessed quarterly. Adjustments 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 . NOTE 8. FORD CREDIT FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued) 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. An analysis of the allowance for credit losses related to finance receivables for the periods ended March 31 was as follows (in millions): First Quarter 2021 Consumer Non-Consumer Total Allowance for credit losses Beginning balance $ 1,245 $ 60 $ 1,305 Charge-offs (97) — (97) Recoveries 53 3 56 Provision for/(Benefit from) credit losses (30) (10) (40) Other (a) (1) — (1) Ending balance $ 1,170 $ 53 $ 1,223 First Quarter 2022 Consumer Non-Consumer Total Allowance for credit losses Beginning balance $ 903 $ 22 $ 925 Charge-offs (62) — (62) Recoveries 43 1 44 Provision for/(Benefit from) credit losses (59) (5) (64) Other (a) 1 1 2 Ending balance $ 826 $ 19 $ 845 __________ (a) Primarily represents amounts related to translation adjustments. During the first quarter of 2022, the allowance for credit losses decreased $80 million, primarily reflecting improvement in the economic outlook that caused Ford Credit to lower its expectation of lifetime losses attributable to macroeconomic assumptions driven by COVID-19. Although net charge-offs in the quarter ended March 31, 2022 remained low, due in part to high vehicle auction values, the impact of higher inflation on future credit losses remains uncertain. Ford Credit will continue to monitor economic trends and conditions and portfolio performance and will adjust the reserve accordingly.

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. Company Excluding Ford Credit Employee separation actions and exit and disposal activities include employee separation costs, facility and other asset-related charges (e.g., impairment, accelerated depreciation), dealer and supplier payments, other statutory and contractual obligations, and other expenses, which are recorded in Cost of sales and Selling, administrative, and other expenses. Below are actions initiated, primarily related to the global redesign of our business: • Ford Motor Company Brasil Ltda. exited manufacturing operations in Brazil, which resulted in the closure of facilities in Camaçari, Taubaté, and Troller in 2021 • Ford Motor Company Limited ceased production at the Bridgend plant in the United Kingdom and the facility was closed in September 2020 • Ford India Private Limited ceased vehicle manufacturing in Sanand in fourth quarter 2021 and plans to cease engine and vehicle manufacturing in Chennai by mid-2022 • Ford Espana S.L. ceased production of the Mondeo at the Valencia plant in Spain in March 2022 In addition, we are continuing to reduce our global workforce and take other restructuring actions. The following table summarizes the activities for the periods ended March 31, which are recorded in Other liabilities and deferred revenue (in millions): First Quarter 2021 2022 Beginning balance $ 1,732 $ 950 Changes in accruals (a) 193 66 Payments (291) (205) Foreign currency translation (135) 18 Ending balance $ 1,499 $ 829 __________ (a) Excludes pension costs of $38 million and $7 million in the first quarter of 2021 and 2022, respectively. We recorded $302 million and $23 million in the first quarter of 2021 and 2022, respectively, for accelerated depreciation and other non-cash items. In addition, we recognized a pre-tax net gain on sale of assets of $32 million in the first quarter of 2022. We estimate that we will incur total charges in 2022 that range between $1.0 billion and $1.5 billion related to the actions above, primarily attributable to employee separations and dealer and supplier settlements. We continue to review our global businesses and may take additional restructuring actions in markets where a path to sustained profitability is not feasible when considering the capital allocation required for those markets.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]	ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES Company Excluding Ford Credit Ford Romania S.A. (“Ford Romania”). In the first quarter of 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell our wholly-owned Ford Romania subsidiary to Ford Otosan, a joint venture in which Ford has a 41% ownership share. This transaction will result in the deconsolidation of Ford Romania. Following the sale, the plant in Craiova, Romania will continue to manufacture Ford-branded vehicles for Ford and Ford Otosan. We expect to complete the sale in mid-2022. We have reported the assets and liabilities of the Ford Romania operations as held for sale and ceased depreciation and amortization of those assets. The assets and liabilities classified as held for sale for the period ended March 31, were as follows (in millions): March 31, Assets Trade and other receivables, net $ 392 Inventories 201 Other assets, current 16 Net property 433 Other assets, non-current 12 Total Company excluding Ford Credit assets of held-for-sale operations 1,054 Less: Intercompany asset balances (357) Total assets of held-for-sale operations (a) $ 697 Liabilities Payables $ 538 Other liabilities and deferred revenue, current 17 Company excluding Ford Credit debt payable within one year — Other liabilities and deferred revenue, non-current 4 Total Company excluding Ford Credit liabilities of held-for-sale operations 559 Less: Intercompany liability balances (40) Total liabilities of held-for-sale operations (a) $ 519 __________ (a) As of March 31, 2022, 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. Held-for-sale assets are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. We estimated the fair value using a market approach based on the negotiated value of the assets, and determined the assets held for sale were not impaired. Skinny Labs Inc., dba Spin (“Spin”). In the first quarter of 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell Spin, our wholly-owned micro-mobility provider. Accordingly, we have reported the $116 million of assets, including $76 million of cash, and $28 million of liabilities of this operation as held for sale for the period ended March 31, 2022. We determined the assets held for sale were not impaired. On April 1, 2022, we completed the sale of Spin to TIER Mobility SE, a German-based micro-mobility provider, which will result in the deconsolidation of our Spin subsidiary in the second quarter of 2022. In exchange for our shares of Spin, we received preferred equity in TIER Mobility SE, which we will reflect in our consolidated balance sheets in Other assets in the second quarter of 2022. We expect the fair value of the preferred equity to approximate the carrying value of Spin at the time of the transaction. NOTE 17. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES (Continued) Electriphi, Inc. (“Electriphi”). On June 18, 2021, we acquired Electriphi, a California-based provider of charging management and fleet monitoring software for electric vehicles. Assets acquired primarily include goodwill, reported in Other assets , and software, reported in Net property . The acquisition did not have a material impact on our financial statements. Ford Lio Ho Motor Co., Ltd. (“FLH”). On April 1, 2021, we completed the sale of our controlling financial interest in FLH and its wholly owned subsidiary FLH Marketing & Service Limited, which resulted in deconsolidation of our Ford Taiwan subsidiary in the second quarter of 2021. FLH will continue to import, manufacture, and sell Ford-branded vehicles through at least 2025. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $161 million, which was reported in Other income/(loss), net in the second quarter of 2021. Getrag Ford Transmissions GmbH (“GFT”). Prior to March 2021, Ford and Magna International Inc. (“Magna”) equally owned and operated the GFT joint venture for the purpose of developing, manufacturing, and selling transmissions. We accounted for our investment in GFT as an equity method investment. During the first quarter of 2021 and prior to our acquisition, GFT recorded restructuring charges, of which our share was $40 million. These charges are included in Equity in net income/(loss) of affiliated companies . On March 1, 2021, we acquired Magna’s shares in the restructured GFT. The purchase price, which was subject to post-closing revisions, was $275 million. The restructured GFT includes the Halewood, UK and Cologne, Germany transmission plants, but excludes the Bordeaux, France transmission plant and China interests acquired by Magna. We concluded with Magna that these businesses would be better served under separate ownership. The Sanand, India transmission plant will continue under joint Ford/Magna ownership. As a result of the transaction, we consolidated the restructured GFT, remeasured our prior investment in GFT at its $275 million fair value, and recognized in Other income/(loss), ne

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 maximum potential payments for financial guarantees were $357 million and $358 million at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The carrying value of recorded liabilities related to financial guarantees was $36 million and $35 million at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, 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. 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 $453 million and $295 million at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The carrying value of recorded liabilities related to non-financial guarantees was $38 million and $16 million at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Included in the $295 million of maximum potential payments at March 31, 2022 are guarantees for the resale value of vehicles sold in certain arrangements to daily rental companies. The maximum potential payment of $288 million as of March 31, 2022 represents the total proceeds we guarantee the rental company will receive on resale. Reflecting our present estimate of proceeds the rental companies will receive on resale from third parties, we have recorded $16 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 contract claim brought by a counterparty, including a joint venture or alliance partner, 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 20. 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, including trade and customs; 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, customs, and regulatory matters, for which we estimate the aggregate risk to be a range of up to a bout $2.1 billion. As noted, the litigation process is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance. Our assessments are based on our knowledge and experience, but the ultimate outcome of any matter could require payment substantially in excess of the amount that we have accrued and/or disclosed. NOTE 20. 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 March 31 was as follows (in millions): First Quarter 2021 2022 Beginning balance $ 8,172 $ 8,451 Payments made during the period (1,086) (984) Changes in accrual related to warranties issued during the period 1,000 793 Changes in accrual related to pre-existing warranties (141) 21 Foreign currency translation and other (40) 38 Ending balance $ 7,905 $ 8,319 Changes to our estimated costs are reported as changes in accrual related to pre-existing warranties in the table above. Our estimate of reasonably possible costs in excess of our accruals for material field service actions and customer satisfaction actions is a range of up to about $700 million in the aggregate.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION	SEGMENT INFORMATION We report segment information consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) 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. Effective with fourth quarter 2021 reporting, special items include gains and losses on investments in equity securities. Prior period amounts were adjusted retrospectively to reflect the change. Below is a description of our reportable segments and other activities. Automotive Segment The 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 and enterprise connectivity. The segment includes the following regional business units: North America, South America, Europe, China (including Taiwan), and the International Markets Group. Mobility Segment The Mobility segment primarily includes development costs for Ford’s autonomous vehicles and related businesses, Ford’s equity ownership in Argo AI (a developer of autonomous driving systems), and other mobility businesses and investments. 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, and marketable securities (excluding gains and losses on investments in equity securities), and foreign exchange derivatives gains and losses associated with intercompany lending. Corporate governance expenses are primarily administrative, delivering benefit on behalf of the global enterprise, that are not allocated to operating segments. These include expenses related to setting and directing global policy, providing oversight and stewardship, and promoting the Company’s interests. Corporate Other assets include: cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities; tax related assets; other investments; and other assets managed centrally. Interest on Debt Interest on Debt is presented as a separate reconciling item and consists of interest expense on Company debt excluding Ford Credit. 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) gains and losses on investments in equity securities, (iii) 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 (iv) other items that we do not necessarily consider to be indicative of earnings from ongoing operating activities. Our management ordinarily 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.

Financing Receivable, Allowance for Credit Losses, Policy for Uncollectible Amounts [Policy Text Block]	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. The adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is assessed quarterly. Adjustments 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 . NOTE 8. FORD CREDIT FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued) 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.

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.

Restructuring Charges [Abstract]
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities or Restructurings, Policy [Policy Text Block]	We record costs associated with voluntary separations at the time of employee acceptance, unless the acceptance requires explicit approval by the Company. We record costs associated with involuntary separation programs when management has approved the plan for separation, the affected employees are identified, and it is unlikely that actions required to complete the separation plan will change significantly. Costs associated with benefits that are contingent on the employee continuing to provide service are accrued over the required service period.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Litigation and Claims Various legal actions, proceedings, and claims (generally, “matters”) are pending or may be instituted or asserted against us. These include, but are not limited to, matters arising out of alleged defects in our products; product warranties; governmental regulations relating to safety, emissions, and fuel economy or other matters; government incentives; tax matters, including trade and customs; 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]	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. 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. 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.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	We report segment information consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) 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. Effective with fourth quarter 2021 reporting, special items include gains and losses on investments in equity securities. Prior period amounts were adjusted retrospectively to reflect the change. Below is a description of our reportable segments and other activities. Automotive Segment The 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 and enterprise connectivity. The segment includes the following regional business units: North America, South America, Europe, China (including Taiwan), and the International Markets Group. Mobility Segment The Mobility segment primarily includes development costs for Ford’s autonomous vehicles and related businesses, Ford’s equity ownership in Argo AI (a developer of autonomous driving systems), and other mobility businesses and investments. 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, and marketable securities (excluding gains and losses on investments in equity securities), and foreign exchange derivatives gains and losses associated with intercompany lending. Corporate governance expenses are primarily administrative, delivering benefit on behalf of the global enterprise, that are not allocated to operating segments. These include expenses related to setting and directing global policy, providing oversight and stewardship, and promoting the Company’s interests. Corporate Other assets include: cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities; tax related assets; other investments; and other assets managed centrally. Interest on Debt Interest on Debt is presented as a separate reconciling item and consists of interest expense on Company debt excluding Ford Credit. The underlying liability is reported in the Automotive segment and in Corporate Other. Special Items
