Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. James D. Farley, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and Sherry A. House, our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), have performed an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 2025, and each has concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the CEO and CFO to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the second quarter of 2025, Ford Credit began a multi-year implementation of new contract origination and receivables platforms. The first launch was in the United Kingdom, and the roll-out will progress through phased launches across other markets in Europe, China, and North America over the next several years. As these platforms launch, Ford Credit’s processes, procedures, and controls will continue to be refined as appropriate.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Any legal proceeding arising under any federal, state, or local provisions that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or primarily for the purpose of protecting the environment, in which (i) a governmental authority is a party, and (ii) we believe there is the possibility of monetary sanctions (exclusive of interest and costs) in excess of $1,000,000 is described on page 36 of our 2024 Form 10-K Report.

OTHER MATTERS

Brazilian Tax Matters (as previously reported on page 37 of our 2024 Form 10-K Report and page 64 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025). One Brazilian state (São Paulo) and the Brazilian federal tax authority currently have outstanding substantial tax assessments against Ford Motor Company Brasil Ltda. (“Ford Brazil”) related to state and federal tax incentives Ford Brazil received for its operations in the Brazilian state of Bahia. The São Paulo assessment is part of a broader conflict among various states in Brazil. The federal legislature enacted laws designed to encourage the states to end that conflict, and in 2017 the states reached an agreement on a framework for resolution. Ford Brazil continues to pursue a resolution under the framework and expects the amount of any remaining assessments by the states to be resolved under that framework. The federal assessments are outside the scope of the legislation.

All of the outstanding assessments have been appealed to the relevant administrative court of each jurisdiction and some appeals are now pending in the judicial court system. To proceed with an appeal within the judicial court system, an appellant may be required to post collateral. If we are required to post collateral, which could be in excess of $1 billion for all the cases in the aggregate, we expect it to be in the form of fixed assets, surety bonds, and/or letters of credit, but we may be required to post cash collateral. To date, we have received collateral waivers for most of the cases that have been appealed to the judicial court system, although we have been required to post less than $100 million of collateral. Although the ultimate resolution of these matters may take many years, we consider our overall risk of loss to be remote.
