The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize on our vehicles, parts, and accessories varies with changes in marketing incentives and returns we offer to our customers and their customers. As a result of changes in our estimate of marketing incentives, we recorded a decrease related to revenue recognized in prior periods of $718 million and $481 million in the first quarter of 2018 and 2019, respectively.

We sell separately-priced service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance coverages beyond our base warranty agreements to vehicle owners (“extended service contracts”). At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, $3.8 billion and $4 billion, respectively, of unearned revenue associated with outstanding contracts was reported in Other liabilities and deferred revenue. We recognized $298 million and $305 million of the unearned amounts as revenue during the first quarter of 2018 and 2019, respectively. At March 31, 2019, the unearned amount was $4 billion. We expect to recognize approximately $900 million of the unearned amount in the remainder of 2019, $1.1 billion in 2020, and $2 billion thereafter.

Amounts paid to dealers to obtain these contracts are deferred and recorded as Other assets. We had a balance of $247 million and $256 million in deferred costs as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, respectively, and recognized $18 million and $19 million of amortization during the first quarter of 2018 and 2019, respectively.
